The Investment Risk Nobody Wants to Talk About | Steven Feldman

 

For decades, investors have benefited from the belief that U.S. markets would continue to outperform the rest of the world. But as AI fuels an increasingly concentrated stock market, are investors taking on far more risk than they realize? In this conversation, Wealthion CEO Steven Feldman explains why today's S&P 500 may not be as diversified as many believe, how AI has transformed the market into a highly correlated bet, and why scarce real assets—including gold, infrastructure, farmland, and other hard assets—can play an important role in building a resilient portfolio. This interview was released alongside Steven Feldman's latest "The American Exception" series, where he takes a deeper look at the forces driving U.S. market dominance, the risks beneath the surface, and what investors should be watching next.
