<h2>Shawn Snyder:</h2>
<p>Did you know that over 40 national elections will be held this year? Combined, those elections will represent nearly half of the world’s GDP. At J.P. Morgan Wealth Management, we realize that elections can be emotional, so we’re not here to share our political views with you. Instead, we want to inform you about three common myths about elections and financial markets.</p>
<h2>On screen:</h2>
<p>Text appears over the #3: '<strong>3 common myths</strong> about elections & financial markets.'</p>
<p>More text appears over gray: 'Myth #1: Stocks don't perform well in an election year.'</p>
<h2>Shawn Snyder:</h2>
<p>When it comes to markets, history shows there’s actually been very little difference between election years and non-election years.</p>
<h2>On screen:</h2>
<p>A bar graph appears, titled: 'Average S&P Returns During Presidential Election Years and Non-Election Years (1928-2020).' The vertical axis shows percentages ranging from 5-8.5%, while two bars rising from the horizontal axis show Election Years, and Non-Election Years. The blue election year bar rises to 7.5%, while the orange non-election years bar rises to 8.0%.</p>

<h2>Shawn Snyder:</h2>
<p>Since 1928, the average return for the S&P 500 has been about 7.5% during an election year vs. 8% for a non-election year. A bit weaker, but not drastic and still pretty strong.</p>

<p>Text appears over gray: 'Myth #2: The stock market is going to crash if candidate so and so wins.'</p>
<h2>Shawn Snyder:</h2>
<p>There’s no historical evidence that the stock market will crash if a candidate from a particular party wins.</p>
<h2>On screen:</h2>
<p>A bar graph appears, titled: 'S&P 500 Return Between Election Day and Yearend.' The vertical axis shows percentages ranging from negative 15% to positive 15%, while the horizontal axis shows years ranging from 1960 to 2020. Years '60, '68, '72, '76, '80, '88, '92, '96, '04, '16, and '20 show positive returns ranging from 0.7% in '68 to 11.5% in '20. Most of the other positive years show gains between 3 and 7%. Years '64, '84, 2000, '08, and '12 show negative returns ranging from -0.2% in '12 to -0.5% in '64 and -1.9% in '84. The more dramatic negative return of -7.8% in 2000 is labeled as due to the Bush/Gore contested election and recession in March of 2001. In '08, the negative return of -10.2% is labeled as due to the global financial crisis.</p>

<h2>Shawn Snyder:</h2>
<p>In fact, since 1960, the average return for the S&P 500 between Election Day and year-end has been 1.9%, with 80% of election years posting positive returns. The worst performance was a 10.2% decline in 2008, but that was largely because of the Global Financial Crisis, not the election.</p>

<p>A vertical bar graph appears beside a title: 'Historically, Election Years Have Not Prevented FED Action. Change in FED Funds Rate (BPS).' The vertical axis shows years ranging from 1956 to 2020, and the horizontal axis ranges from negative 4.00 to positive 4.00, with zero in the center. On the negative side, labeled 'Cutting,' are years 1960 (negative 2), 1984 (negative 1.25), 1992 (negative 1.00), 1996 (negative 0.25), 2008 (negative 4.00), and 2020 (negative 1.50). On the positive side, labeled 'Hiking,' are years 1956 (0.50), 1964 (0.50), 1968 (1.50), 1972 (2.00), 1976 (1.00), 1980 (4.00), 1988 (1.87), 2000 (1.00), 2004 (1.25), and 2016 (0.25).</p>

<h2>Shawn Snyder:</h2>
<p>Since 1956, 2012 was the only election year that the Fed did not either raise or lower interest rates. We believe that this year will be no different with economics driving the Fed, not politics.</p>
