Thoughts on the (ir)relevance of politics for markets

kindly hosted by Van Lanschot Kempen Amsterdam

Dear INSEAD friend,

In times of political turbulence and economic uncertainty, it’s tempting to react to every headline, every policy shift and every parliamentary debate. Yet markets often dance to a different tune, one shaped more by fundamentals, sentiment and long-term trends than by short-term political noise.

We are honoured to host Luc Aben, Chief Economist at Van Lanschot Kempen, who will help us step back and ask: how relevant is politics, really, for financial markets? Which signals should we listen to and which should we tune out?

Join us for an evening of clarity and insight, where a leading expert will help us separate the signal from the noise and perhaps rediscover the music beneath it all.
