US Election Hub

There are now just three weeks to go until the most-anticipated political event of the year, the US presidential election.

One piece of data that stood out to us this week, is that if you had only invested under Republican Presidents since 1948 (to the end of 2023), a starting sum of $10,000 would have turned into $311,000; if only under Democrat Presidents, that would have become just over $1.2m. But leaving it in the market the whole time would have left you with $38 million. Again, the power of compounding and importance of staying in the market prevails.

We've collated some insights from Omnis and our partner investment managers responsible for the Omnis US Equity funds within our portfolios for you to keep up to date with all things elections.
