Financial Planning Long Island | Investing | 2016 Presidential Election

If there's one thing that has constantly been in the news lately, it's the 2016 presidential candidates and the initiatives they're taking to become the 45th President of the United States. While we should all have some knowledge about each, a particular group of people who should be well informed are investors, as many often fear that the election will have a largely felt impact on different aspects of their financial lives. As the race for the white house continues, here are two things that we feel are important for investors to know:
  1. Although investment philosophies may play a role in who you vote for, it's important to keep your investing and voting decisions separate if you can. Ultimately, as long as there are well-run companies out there creating value for investors, it won't make too much difference who gets elected in 2016.
  2. Contrary to popular belief, there isn't evidence that shows that investors do better when one party is elected over the other. In fact, the markets have had both good and bad times with both Republican and Democratic presidents, and those investors that tend to succeed are those who are in it for the long run - not those that only put their investments to work when a certain party is in office.
At the end of the day, the best thing you can do for yourself as an investor is to have a strategic financial plan in place to guide you under a number of circumstances. Here at American Investment Planners LLC, we can put that together for you! We work closely with each of our clients to learn about their short and long term goals, investment philosophy, and current personal circumstances so that we can develop a portfolio that exceeds any investing expectations they set.
