10/8/2020 - By Apollo D. Lupescu, PhD

Join us for a free webinar on Thursday, October 8th from 2:00 PM (CST)/3:00 PM (EST).

The coronavirus pandemic certainly dominates the news cycle, but investors are also seeking to understand how the upcoming election might impact the market and their investments. Saltmarsh Financial Advisors is pleased to offer the opportunity to engage with Apollo D. Lupescu, PhD and Vice President at Dimensional Fund Advisors, one of the largest and most reputable investment managers in the country.

Dr. Lupescu will examine the market returns during election years, performance under different political administrations, and provide perspectives on why we observe these results. While the implications associated with elections will be the central topic, the discussion will not be political in nature and will not endorse or reject any ideological views.
