I have been getting a lot of questions with regards to current market volatility in response to the looming US election. I wanted to share a couple of thoughts/stats that might help ease your stomach on this market rollercoaster.
1. History shows that investors were always rewarded for stomaching the short term volatility.
2. Over the full term, a change in the US Presidency does appear to matter for markets.
3. While statistics show equity markets slightly favour Democratic Presidents to Republican presidents; markets always remain positive regardless of the makeup of the US government
4. The most important thing history has shown us is that the market always finds a way to correct itself overtime.
