U.S. Tariffs: The Silent Threat to Lease-Backed Investments, Says Fitch

In a global economy shaken by political and commercial decisions, your investments are not immune to risk—especially those tied to sensitive sectors like machinery and transportation leasing.

What’s Going On?

The United States has decided to increase tariffs on Mexican products from 25% to 50%, a move that not only raises export costs but also directly impacts supply chains and the operations of Mexican companies. According to an analysis by Fitch Ratings, this decision hits hard at machinery and infrastructure leasing, which often backs certain investment products.

When companies face higher tariff costs, they tend to reduce production, cut back on equipment investments, and in many cases, default on lease contracts. This translates into risks for investors with financial instruments backed by these leases.

How Does This Affect Your Investments?

If your investments depend on the performance of sectors like transportation, manufacturing, or heavy machinery—and are tied to cross-border trade—this new scenario could disrupt cash flow, depreciate asset values, and reduce expected returns.

Fitch also warns of situations where lessors are left with non-productive assets due to payment defaults, severely impacting investment performance.

“This scenario,” Fitch adds, “may affect expected cash flows, posing a risk to investments.”

Diversification Is No Longer a Luxury—It’s a Necessity

In times like these, when political shifts can jeopardize entire industries, it’s essential to maintain a diversified investment portfolio that’s shielded from these variables.

Relying solely on domestic instruments or vulnerable sectors can expose your wealth to unnecessary risks and potential losses.
