A Perspective on the Markets & the 2022 Midterm Elections

During the 2022 mid-term elections, the Democrats might win, the Republicans might win, and both might win. But how should we as investors incline? The truth might be a little bit surprising, at least from a historical perspective. Tom Connelly, CFA, CFP, President, and Chief Investment Officer at Versant Capital Management, looks at historical results from a short and long-term perspective around election day and tries to abstract some lessons and guidelines. Join him for a short and mercifully apolitical look!

Tom Connelly, CFA, CFP, is the president and chief investment officer at Versant Capital Management. He describes his most significant professional accomplishment as “the growth and preservation of my client’s financial nest eggs and legacies over lifetimes, through one or more recession events.”
