Investing in a year of elections

Session overview: 


Over 60 countries around the world will be holding elections this year. The question is, how much should this matter to investors?

Morningstar Wealth’s Research and Investment Team of over 400 experts has been busy conducting research on this topic and we’d like to take you through our findings.

Nick Stanhope, Senior Portfolio Manager, and Natalie Tysoe, Investment Specialist, will showcase our research and work through the potential effects of political change on investment markets and your clients’ portfolios.

Learning Objectives:

  • Understand how our Research and Investment Team consider politics when investing.
  • Gain insight as to why you shouldn't base investment strategies on specific political scenarios.
  • Understand how a change in government could affect key drivers of market returns.
  • Learn how to keep clients focused on what really matters to their goals.

This session will equip you with essential knowledge, key insights, and a summary video for your clients, enabling you to make informed decisions and keep clients focused on what matters.
