Investment Strategy

How to invest in a world of increasing security risks

Geopolitical and security risks are swiftly reshaping global markets. 

After years of post–Cold War peace, international hostilities in Europe and the Middle East have spilled over into armed conflict, adding urgency to high-level discussions around national security and defense spending.

In the midst of this tumult, the United States is fast approaching a presidential election in November. When Americans turn out to cast their ballots, they will be in good company: More than 1.5 billion people in at least 50 countries will go to the polls this year—an unprecedented percentage of the global population.1

So how can investors make sense of these impending changes? 

First, it’s important to understand that geopolitical events generally do not have long-lasting impacts on investment portfolios. While disruptions can create short-term volatility, economic growth, innovation and a diversified portfolio can help investors stick to their plans and achieve their goals over time.

When risks do emerge, however—and in longer periods of heightened uncertainty—investing opportunities are also likely to appear. This time is no different. It’s critical to look at the myriad ways in which governments and corporations around the world are preparing to meet geopolitical challenges by investing in, and enhancing, their own security.

With multipolar threats rising, spending is increasing in a drive toward new, innovative security solutions. We see four areas of thematic focus emerging that will be integral to the future of security: national defense, energy provision, supply chains and cybersecurity.

As an investor, you can look at these security-related trends as new opportunities to consider strategically deploying your capital across both public and private markets. Here, we explore each of these investment themes in turn. 

National security: The power of traditional defense

Hazards abound in today’s geopolitical environment. Armed conflict is now at an 80-year high, with active and ongoing wars in Europe and the Middle East (Exhibit 1A). Tensions between the two great powers, China and the United States, are also rising sharply. And yet federal spending on national defense, as a percentage of U.S. GDP, has been declining gradually over time (Exhibit 1B).

Global armed conflicts are at an 80-year high

That dynamic may soon start to change, which could provide a powerful tailwind for defense firms.

Post-election, U.S. leadership will likely need to assess how best to maintain the country’s military might as China and Russia continue to upgrade their military systems and weaponry. Looking ahead, U.S. defense spending levels may need to be recalibrated with an eye to future threats.

Other countries, especially other members of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO), are also feeling the pressure to raise their military spending levels to agreed budgets, under U.S. pressure and in response to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. Only 11 NATO countries are currently meeting their obligations on defense spending; seven more are expected to increase their spending this year.2

The United States, which is still far and away the largest military power in the world as well as the largest exporter of military hardware and weapons, will likely benefit from any additional spending by NATO members.3 Other countries may also start to diversify their supply chains going forward. In national defense—as in any global industry—allocating resources to diverse suppliers can spread risk and increase resilience. 

Energy provision: Preparing for a global transition

As the world transitions from fossil fuels to renewable energy sources to combat climate change, policymakers in the United States and beyond are investing enormous amounts of taxpayer capital in the development of more sustainable sources of energy, such as solar and wind power.4

The goal? According to the International Energy Agency (IEA), an intergovernmental organization founded in 1974 to respond to the era’s oil shortages, carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions will need to be balanced, or “net zero” by 2050 to keep climate change in check.5  

Recent spending levels reflect the urgency of this environmental mandate. Global spending on renewables has already reached nearly $2 trillion per year (Exhibit 2). As countries strive to meet their net zero goals, spending on clean energy technology is expected to more than double by 2030, to $4.6 trillion.

The acceleration of the global energy transition will spur a sharp rise in investment dollars for clean technology

Exhibit 2: Global spending on the “net zero” energy transition (USD trillions)

This chart shows the global spend on the energy transition in trillions of U.S. dollars.
Sources: International Energy Agency, World Energy Investment 2023. Data as of 2023. 

As government spending rises, investments in new energy technology and infrastructure are likely to get a boost, potentially creating new opportunities for investors.

Former British Prime Minister Winston Churchill once said, “Safety and certainty in energy lies in variety and variety alone.” Diversifying energy sources can help countries reduce their dependence on imported fossil fuels and strengthen their own economic resilience, which makes the difficult process of adopting new energy sources more palatable. 

Supply chains: Manufacturing moves closer to home

For decades, many investors perceived globalization as a one-way trend. But even before COVID, the outbreak of a trade-and-tariffs war between China and the United States in 2018–2019 had already begun to put pressure on manufacturing supply chains.6

In the wake of the COVID pandemic, the risks inherent to “offshoring”—the practice of establishing low-cost, geographically distant manufacturing facilities—are now painfully clear. COVID highlighted just how vulnerable companies were to supply chain disruptions. The shock of that realization has since prompted many companies to reassess their just-in-time delivery models. 

To redress this situation—and spurred by recent conflicts that have radically altered global shipping routes—some companies are now exploring the logistics of reshoring manufacturing jobs. Since 2021, U.S. reshoring announcements have reached a value of $322 billion.7 Other firms are also “friendshoring,” bringing manufacturing jobs closer to home by hiring workers in geographically adjacent (and politically aligned) countries. 

The importance of those efforts to specific industry sectors cannot be understated. In technology, semiconductors are absolutely integral to the functionality of smartphones and household devices, but most of the companies producing these products are overly reliant on advanced chips made in Taiwan (Exhibit 3). 

The global supply chain for semiconductor production is heavily weighted toward Taiwan

Exhibit 3: Taiwan’s share of global semiconductor market (production %)

Taiwan’s political future is far from assured, however. China is openly seeking “reunification” with the self-ruled island state, which the democratically elected government of Taiwan rejects. The potential for future conflict hangs in the air: Just before Taiwan’s latest elections in January, Chinese warships and fighter jets were spotted conducting maneuvers in the Taiwan Strait.8

The U.S. government is now pushing to build more domestic semiconductor manufacturing facilities and data centers. In March, President Joe Biden announced a preliminary agreement with technology company Intel Corporation to provide $8.5 billion in direct funding and access to $11 billion in loans under the CHIPS and Science Act of 2022.9  The company plans to use the funds to build and expand semiconductor facilities in several states, and create as many as 30,000 new jobs.10

Cybersecurity: Finding new ways to combat digital threats

Hacking is among the most-recognized security threats to governments and companies. Cybersecurity breaches now occur almost daily, and the associated damages have risen with the frequency of attacks: The average cost of a single data breach has climbed from $3.62 million in 2017 to $4.45 million in 2023—a 23% increase (Exhibit 4). 

Governments and corporates need to invest more to secure their data against cyberattacks

For affected companies, primarily in healthcare and financial services, the loss of consumer confidence in the aftermath of such a breach may be even more profound.

Companies—and, increasingly, governments—are spending more than ever to protect their databases and critical defense systems from cyberattacks. Cybersecurity now constitutes 12% of overall technology budgets, up three percentage points since 2020.11 According to a recent report by consulting group McKinsey & Company, the addressable market for cybersecurity solutions could eventually reach $1.5 trillion to $2 trillion.12

How can investors engage in the future of security?

Most opportunities in this space will require a combination of public and private equity allocations. We think of the themes we’ve highlighted as long-term strategic investment trends, and gaining access to such changes requires patient commitment of capital. 

We encourage investors to consider diversifying their equity portfolios by carefully allocating funds to security-related opportunities as part of a 10-to-15-year strategic investment plan. With the guidance of active managers with experience in each of these industry sectors, investors can gain insight into emerging opportunities in both public and private markets.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT YOUR INVESTMENTS AND POTENTIAL CONFLICTS OF INTEREST

Conflicts of interest will arise whenever JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. or any of its affiliates (together, “J.P. Morgan”) have an actual or perceived economic or other incentive in its management of our clients’ portfolios to act in a way that benefits J.P. Morgan. Conflicts will result, for example (to the extent the following activities are permitted in your account): (1) when J.P. Morgan invests in an investment product, such as a mutual fund, structured product, separately managed account or hedge fund issued or managed by JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. or an affiliate, such as J.P. Morgan Investment Management Inc.; (2) when a J.P. Morgan entity obtains services, including trade execution and trade clearing, from an affiliate; (3) when J.P. Morgan receives payment as a result of purchasing an investment product for a client’s account; or (4) when J.P. Morgan receives payment for providing services (including shareholder servicing, recordkeeping or custody) with respect to investment products purchased for a client’s portfolio. Other conflicts will result because of relationships that J.P. Morgan has with other clients or when J.P. Morgan acts for its own account.

Investment strategies are selected from both J.P. Morgan and third-party asset managers and are subject to a review process by our manager research teams. From this pool of strategies, our portfolio construction teams select those strategies we believe fit our asset allocation goals and forward-looking views in order to meet the portfolio’s investment objective.

As a general matter, we prefer J.P. Morgan managed strategies. We expect the proportion of J.P. Morgan managed strategies will be high (in fact, up to 100 percent) in strategies such as, for example, cash and high-quality fixed income, subject to applicable law and any account-specific considerations.

While our internally managed strategies generally align well with our forward-looking views, and we are familiar with the investment processes as well as the risk and compliance philosophy of the firm, it is important to note that J.P. Morgan receives more overall fees when internally managed strategies are included. We offer the option of choosing to exclude J.P. Morgan managed strategies (other than cash and liquidity products) in certain portfolios.

The Six Circles Funds are U.S.-registered mutual funds managed by J.P. Morgan and sub-advised by third parties. Although considered internally managed strategies, JPMC does not retain a fee for fund management or other fund services.
