Join FPA SF for a unique opportunity to engage with one of DFA’s most popular speakers to examine the impact of the elections and politics on the markets. Apollo will provide us with his data-driven research on how best to prepare for the 2024 contentious presidential election. Does the market do better under Democrats or Republicans? Are investors properly assessing the runaway federal debt load? What industries may benefit/suffer under each president’s political priorities? What, if anything, can investors divine about the election outcome from recent market price action? Are there any portfolio adjustments worth making before November? We will address these topics and more with plenty of time for questions.
Speaker(s):
Apollo Lupescu, Vice President of Dimensional Fund Advisors (DFA)

He is known internally as the "secretary of explaining stuff" because he conveys complicated ideas in lay terms.
