Every 4 years, the US presidential takes center stage and grabs all the headlines. For investors however, the outcome doesn't change all that much. Democrat or Republican, landslide or close call, Trump or Biden?

It doesn't really matter and whatever happens, the stock market will quickly get back to its old normal. The market (S&P500) tends to move abit slower in the 12 months leading up to an election and the following 12 months, with about 6,5% and 5% respectively. This is compared to the average 8,5% on a normal year.

The best combination is a democratic senate, a republican house and a democratic president, which has yielded an average of 13,5% return anually. The difference between the two big options is minimal though and investors shouldnt trade around short term things like an election.
