Now that the election has been decided, we've been getting one question very frequently: What will the new administration prioritize? In today's installment of Advisor Commentary, Marc Bautis discusses key policy changes to watch as the new administration takes office in 2025. Read now ➡️ https://lnkd.in/dsnyT5tJ

With the election just a few months away, we can look at technical market analysis to give us clues on what we could expect for this presidential cycle:  - The strongest period of the cycle is from the middle of the election year to the middle of the post-election year with small caps and value outperforming.  - The weakest period has been from the middle of the post-election year to the end of the mid-term year.  - On average, the first half of election years are weak and the second half strong with the timing of the election rally varying greatly and often dependent upon when the winner is widely accepted. What questions do you have? Send us a DM!

And the Winner is… With the US election approaching, anticipation is high. Predicting the next president from polls and statistics is a challenge, as the race remains tight. But there’s another intriguing statistic: in election years, CTA industry returns in Q4 have historically outshined those of non-election years. In fact, over the last 36 years, 5 of the top 6 Q4 results occurred during election years. If this pattern holds, the CTA industry could be in for a strong year-end.

"Quarter 4 of 2024 is almost here – can you believe it? As we gear up for 2025 renewal season during another contentious presidential election, it almost seems too good to be true that for the first time in over a decade there is a minimal list of new regulations. The focus for 2025 will be on continuing to comply with rules issued in prior years in which details are still being ironed out (or for which there are proposed changes)." https://lnkd.in/g27ncSYE
