Ready or not, here it comes: The U.S. presidential election is now just weeks away. As always during election season, the news coverage, hype, and forecasts are everywhere.

In the investing world, the discussion tends to revolve around the effects of the election results on the economy and stock market.

This year, as always, the narrative is put forward that if Candidate A wins, the market will suffer ... followed by a counter-argument that if Candidate B prevails, the market will tank.

In this free report, you'll get our expert thoughts, and some historical perspective, on the actual impact of the election on the stock market. One key takeaway is this: No matter which candidate wins, the market will be moved far less by that outcome than by earnings, inflation, interest rates, and economic growth.

This free report includes our insights on:

  • How we can expect the election to affect the stock market
  • A look at stock market returns in Republican and Democratic administrations
