I don’t record a bonus episode every time a major event takes place, but I do find cause for chiming in when I see something sparking questions, curiosity, and potential concerns amongst my clients and community.

In this case, that “something” is the 2024 presidential and congressional elections, which are officially in the books. As I’m sure you know, Donald Trump won the presidency and Republicans will now have a majority in the Senate and the House.

What you might not know is what those election results could mean for your money–so that’s what we’re going to talk about in this episode.

At this point, I’ve been running Hendershott Wealth through more than five presidential turnovers. I’ve had the opportunity to exercise a lot of mental acuity in evaluating implications of potential policies, and ensuring my clients’ assets are protected, regardless of the outcome.

Thanks to this experience (and the evidence that backs me up) I have a lot more peace about the potential impact of the election on both my and my clients’ wealth–and I want you to feel the same kind of calm.

So listen in as I share my approach and investment strategy when it comes to geopolitical events like an election, how I deal with all the feelings that are along for the ride, and what I advise you do–or, more accurately–don’t take action on. 👇
