Markets are feeling unsettled again.
The conflict in the Middle East, rising oil prices and constant news updates can make it feel like something needs to be done, quickly.
In the latest Citrus Insights, Richard Harris is joined by Jonathan Raymond, Investment Manager at Quilter Cheviot, to bring some perspective to what’s really happening behind the headlines.
Key points from the episode include:
- why professional investors aren’t reacting in a panic, and what’s actually happening behind the scenes
- how well-constructed portfolios are designed to cope with periods like this
- whether this situation is meaningfully different from previous crises
- the impact of rising oil prices and why it’s “unhelpful, but not yet a catastrophe”
- what this could mean for UK inflation and interest rates
- why discipline and diversification remain key in uncertain markets
- how investors can think about opportunities during periods of volatility

A key message from Jonathan is that while every crisis feels different, markets have a long history of absorbing shocks. Investors who stay disciplined have historically been rewarded.
Importantly, this isn’t a time for panic or rash decisions.
For many, it’s about making sure your portfolio is well diversified, aligned to your goals, and able to weather periods of uncertainty, rather than reacting to short-term headlines.
