Ken Fisher Explains How Politics Could Influence Stocks in 2021

Politics can be a powerful driver of equity markets, but investors are often left wondering how much of the charged political sentiment to incorporate into their decision-making. In this video, Fisher Investments’ founder and Co-Chief Investment Officer Ken Fisher looks at how politics could influence stocks in 2021.
Ken explains investors can benefit by splitting politics into two elements. Investors should pay attention to how politics actually affects capital markets. Ken suggests that investors separate this from the noise and commotion that often accompanies political discourse. In the United States, Ken focuses on the unprecedented political gridlock that recent elections have established. President Biden has ambitious agendas for tackling COVID and addressing US infrastructure; however, both houses of Congress have remarkably thin Democratic margins. Ken explains this benefits stocks because gridlock, while frustrating for voters, is a tailwind for stocks because it reduces uncertainty by making sweeping legislative change more difficult to pass without being watered down—even with procedures like the reconciliation process available. Outside the US, Ken sees similar gridlock evident across many European countries.
When politics meets investing, Ken cautions against letting emotions and personal political ideologies overwhelm investors’ decision-making. Whether looking for factors that could influence markets or incorporating personal values or political preferences into investing, Ken suggests a strict focus on the fundamental factors that drive markets.
