The Truth About Investing During an Election

Welcome to a special Election edition of our Market Commentary with RFG Advisory’s Chief Investment Officer, Rick Wedell

With the election right around the corner, we are getting a consistent stream of questions from clients asking how they should be thinking about the outcome of the election relative to their investment portfolios. There are a lot of different ways to participate in the political process, however participating by changing up your investment portfolio is generally ill-advised. In this special Election update, Rick discusses a few of the key issues for the markets that the next administration will need to address, and walks through why markets generally do not respond to politics in ways that people expect.
