Is the Dollar’s Reserve Status Slipping? A Research Focus Videocast

06/05/2023


The headlines have been full of tales of a global shift away from the dollar; is our U.S. currency in danger of losing its status as the dominant global currency, and what does that mean for investors? In this Research Focus Videocast, Co-CEO and Chief Investment Officer Bryan Shipley discusses the dollar as reserve currency, what scenarios might play out as countries around the world shift to alternative currencies, and how investors can prepare for the future.

The U.S. dollar has served as the world’s leading global reserve currency since the mid-twentieth century, a status which confers a number of benefits when it comes to international trade and access to capital. But with geopolitical changes, economic sanctions, and BRICs nations seeking out alternatives to dollars, the U.S. currency may be seeing the beginning of a slow decline of its global domination. Arnerich Massena’s Research team explored how this might affect the investment landscape in the coming years, and in this presentation, we share our ideas for actions investors can take now to help ensure their portfolios are positioned to weather any changes in the currency landscape.
