Beware the consensus: what the US election means for investors

A deeply divided America heads to the ballot box in three months. Incumbent President Trump faces Democratic nominee Joe Biden in an election that's taking place in the midst of a health crisis, a faltering economy, and widespread social unrest. This month we ask the investment teams how they're positioning for the turmoil and what  November's results could mean for portfolios. Richard Edgar, Editor in Chief, talks to Global Economist Anna Stupnytska; Head of Equities, Ned Salter; and Portfolio Manager Aditya Khowala. With additional contributions from portfolio managers Charlotte Harington, Peter Khan, Aneta Wynimko, and Sumant Wahi.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
