Fisher Investments' Founder on the 2022 US Midterm Elections

Fisher Investments’ founder, Executive Chairman and Co-Chief Investment Officer Ken Fisher shares his thoughts on the upcoming 2022 US midterm elections and potential market implications. As always, Ken and Fisher Investments caution investors to avoid being swayed by political ideology when analyzing financial markets.

According to Ken, there are a few possible outcomes for each party in the upcoming midterms. But in any of the scenarios he mentions Ken says it’s very likely the result will be strong political gridlock—a favorable scenario for stocks.

“Hardcore gridlock,” as Ken puts it, makes controversial legislation nearly impossible to pass. This gridlock reduces uncertainty, which calms capital markets. Businesses can plan over the longer term without fear of potential disruptive legislative changes. Fueled by reduced uncertainty, Ken says the fourth quarters of midterm years are overwhelmingly positive for stocks, and this positive effect ripples into the third year of a president’s term.
