Democrat or Republican? Markets WILL be impacted by the election… Odds are, things will get rocky for a little bit. But no matter who’s voted into office, DON’T let this stop this from investing. I hear from clients each & every election cycle: -”Let’s hold off on investing until then” -”I just want to wait it out & see what happens” -”I don’t think the markets will do well if X is elected” You are much better off staying invested no matter which party wins the presidency. Investors who hold the course earn nearly double those who changed their strategy during this last decade… And this trend is only magnified during the long-term. You might not be happy with the election outcome. But odds are your bank account will be in the long-run if you hold tight & stick with it.

📊 Election Results Are In: What’s Next for Investors? 🗳️📈 With the 2024 election concluded, markets are already recalibrating for potential shifts in tax policy, trade, and economic strategy. While political changes can bring uncertainty, history shows that long-term investors benefit most by staying focused on fundamentals over election cycles. Rather than reacting to headlines, it's time to look at what truly drives portfolio growth. 🔗 Explore what these outcomes could mean for your financial future: https://lnkd.in/gjnrbe79 #Election2024 #MarketUpdate #InvestmentStrategy #FinancialPlanning #EconomicOutlook

Here is this week’s Market Wrap 'Aiming Past The Moving Parts' written by Shyam Sekhar The markets have been in the election mood for a while. No matter where you go, the conversation always turns to who will come to power and how many seats each party will win. There's no escaping election fever. The trouble is not even that people want to predict what will happen. There is a certain thrill to getting predictions right. The trouble is that speculation is becoming the foundation for important portfolio decisions. Investors are not just trying to guess who will win the elections. They are also trying to calculate how many seats each party will win, whether markets will be disappointed or satisfied, and if the political outcome is conducive to reforms. When there are so many moving parts and we're trying to hit a target, the chances of missing are much higher. Investors must learn to prioritise process over outcomes in the face of uncertainty. Elections are just another event in our journey as investors. The way to aim past the moving parts is to stick to the discipline of profit booking, asset allocation, and consistent investing. #election2024 #electionresults #investmentdecision #portfolio #investors #stockmarket #investmentjourney #assetallocation #investing #marketwrap

There are plenty of reasons to be twitchy about tomorrow's US election. The impact it will have on the long-term performance of your investments is probably not one of them. As this chart showing the annual return of the S&P500 shows, the markets don't give a damn who is in the White House!

Today is the day we've all been waiting for with baited breath...(drum roll please): the US election. A very appropriate day to share this excellent publication from National Bank Investments. Over the last few months I've made more conversations than I can count with people about whether we should "wait and see what the result of the election is before we make any decisions". As the publication very clearly shows: the answer to that question is decidedly "no". I love the closing line of this publication too: "...history shows that investors benefit from not letting politics and investments mix, as difficult as that may be at times! Regardless of today's outcome, we will adapt and we will move forward. We always have, and we have no reason to believe we won't this time. Thanks Andrew Stephens for keeping me in the loop with National Bank's great publications. #election #politics #uselection2024 -------------------------------------------------------------------- Jonathan Lesyk, CFP Allied Asset Management | Raymond James Ltd.

A contested election isn't great for financial markets 📉. It raises concerns not only about who will be president now, but also the potential for more disputed elections in the future. The fear of fraud—whether real or perceived—is something the U.S. will need to confront. 🗳️ But here’s the good news for investors 📈: If you’re not planning to withdraw your investments in the near future, then these short-term fluctuations might not impact you as much. Focus on what will affect market valuations when you need to access your funds. Long-term perspective is key! 🔑 Sequoia Wealth Advisors Kristina Kuprina, CIMA ® #election2024 #financialservices
