Welcome to another episode of "Think Smart with TMFG," your go-to podcast for newsworthy insights relevant to everyday Canadians. In this episode, Senior Financial Advisor Rob McClelland and Mike Connon of Assante Capital Management dive into a hot topic: Does the stock market really care about the upcoming election?

Rob and Mike address common concerns such as market volatility, inflation, and interest rates in the context of election results. They emphasize that while elections can cause short-term fluctuations, they do not necessitate drastic changes to your investment strategy. Drawing from historical evidence, they illustrate how markets have performed under various U.S. presidents, debunking the myth that a new administration will drastically alter your financial future.

They also highlight the limited power of the U.S. president compared to the Canadian prime minister and remind listeners that the fundamental need for goods and services remains constant, regardless of political changes. Rob and Mike conclude with practical advice.

Join Rob and Mike for a data-driven discussion that reassures you that staying the course is often the best strategy.
