Episode #3: Jacob Shapiro - Investing through a Geopolitical Framework

Recorded on May 8th, 2023

Jacob Shapiro is the "Geopolitics Masterbrain" here at Lykeion, and a Partner & Director of Geopolitical Analysis at Cognitive Investments.

In this episode, Roger and Jacob explore how the geopolitical landscape impacts investing frameworks and horizons. Is geopolitics a valid input for investors? Roger delves into what Jacob thinks are the key geopolitical drivers today, why they matter, and how to build an investment framework around them.

They look at some of the key themes of this moment in time: China, USD hegemony, and the opportunities within de-globalization. But beware of the hyperbole. Jacob also points out that some of the biggest stories and intoxicating headlines can often be the least interesting geopolitical drivers.

The relevance of geopolitics to investing, however, is rising and investors will increasingly need to incorporate these trends into their investment framework over the coming decade.
