What Past Election Results Can Tell Us About The Markets

As we try to provide our clients with as much knowledge and insight as possible, the number one question we’ve been asked in recent months is “How will the 2024 Election impact my investments?”

This has been supported by a recent Janus Henderson Investment Survey…

“1,000 mass affluent and high-net-worth investors were surveyed to understand their mindset amid a challenging geopolitical climate and an unsettled market and economic environment.”

“The number one concern today is the Election. The number three theme is Investors are hungry for knowledge.“

While we can’t provide you with an ironclad blueprint as it relates to the upcoming election, one of our research affiliates, First Trust, created a report detailing past elections in relation to the markets. This is NOT a political endorsement and yes this time may be different. However, we thought it was interesting, so we wanted to share it with you. Based on the last 75 years, the best course of action was staying invested.
