The world is watching 2026 with anticipation. 

Shifting political winds, new trade battles, and evolving tax regimes promise to reshape markets in ways that will challenge even the most seasoned strategists. 

For finance professionals, students, and alumni alike, the question isn’t just what’s changing; it’s also how to stay ahead of it all.

On October 29, 2025, join us for the “Global Market Outlook: Trump, Tariffs, Taxes 2026,” a premier session designed exclusively for Hult Global students and alumni and co-sponsored by the Hult M&A Society, which provides a platform for open discussion about M&A, investment banking, and high finance, while building a bridge between Hult IBS and industry experts. 

Gain advanced insights into the forces that will define the next year in global finance and the world at large!

Leading the discussion is Professor Joel Litman, Chairman & CEO of Valens Research, Chief Investment Officer of Altimetry Financial Research, and a distinguished professor celebrated for his ability to cut through noise and uncover the true drivers of markets. 

Professor Litman will dive deep into what U.S. President Donald Trump’s policies, shifting tariffs, and new tax frameworks could mean for global markets, corporate performance, and valuation strategies in 2026.
