After the chaos of the first U.S. Presidential Debate, the only certainty is that uncertainty lies ahead. With this in mind, Mark Raes, Chris Heakes and Alfred Lee forecast multiple election outcomes, ranging from a Democratic sweep to a continuation of the status quo, providing tactical solutions to help position the portfolio in each scenario. Our experts also offer strategies to “get paid while you wait” for an official winner to be declared, which may extend weeks beyond the November 3 election day. Finally, our experts turn their gaze homeward, to analyze the implications of the Throne Speech on Canadian equity markets, and how investors can find additional yield to meet investment goals.
