Trump’s Tax Shake-Up & Global Capital Rebalancing

Global tax and tariff dynamics continue to evolve—and while specific figures fluctuate, the overarching trend is clear: rising uncertainty in U.S. regulatory policy is prompting international capital to seek more stable and growth-aligned markets.

Capital is already being redirected and businesses that position early will be best placed to capture investor attention.

What It Means for UK, EU & APAC Businesses

• Investor Repositioning: Uncertainty in U.S. policy may divert international capital to more stable markets—presenting opportunities for regions like the UK, EU, and APAC.
• Strategic Advantage: As global investors look to de-risk, having access to private credit solutions in these territories positions your business advantageously.
• Timing Is Critical: With shifting regulatory winds, the window to secure favourable funding conditions is perceptibly narrowing.
