Investors should diversify portfolios to hedge against risk into election: UBS
As political tensions and uncertainties rise during election cycles, investors face the challenge of navigating volatile and unpredictable financial markets. In light of the upcoming 2024 U.S. presidential election, UBS Global Research flags the critical importance of portfolio diversification as a strategy to mitigate risks and safeguard investments.
On the other hand, the probability of a"Red sweep," where Republicans control both the executive and legislative branches, has been set at 35%, which might bring different economic policies and market reactions. Second, a diversified portfolio provides multiple sources of return, which is especially crucial when certain sectors may be more vulnerable to election outcomes. For instance, under a Harris administration, sectors focused on renewables and energy efficiency might thrive, while traditional energy sectors could face challenges.
A diversified portfolio encourages a balanced approach, ensuring that investment strategies remain aligned with broader financial objectives despite the noise of election-related developments. Incorporating alternative investments such as hedge funds and private equity can provide diversification benefits due to their low correlation with traditional asset classes.
