How to survive the uncertainty & invest with confidence in an election year

Presidential elections can be divisive and unsettling. At times, the fate of the world seems to hang in the balance. But when it comes to investing, do elections really matter all that much. U.S. voters will have their say in November 2024, but by maintaining a long-term focus, investors can position themselves for a brighter future regardless of the outcome at the voting booth. In fact, overreacting to short-term volatility during election cycles can be detrimental to investment returns.

In this webinar, we address top questions about investing in an election year, drawing insights from analysis of over 90 years of investment data across 23 election cycles.

Topics include:

• Which political party is better for investors?
• What typically happens to the stock market during election years?
• Which sectors have done best in election years?
• What are common mistakes investors make in election years?
