What the US election means for investors

While politicians and lawyers argue over the results of the US presidential election, investors thoughts are already turning to what this wrangling is likely to mean for markets in the medium and long term. 

In this edition of the FTAdviser podcast, special projects editor David Thorpe is joined by Mikhail Zverev, head of global equities at Aviva Investors, Jeremy Thomas, head of global equities at Sarasin, and Ed Smith, head of asset allocation research at Rathbones, to discuss what the election means for markets in 2020 and beyond.

They discussed the impact of the results - which indicate a Joe Biden presidency but with Republicans retaining control of the Senate - on a potential coronavirus stimulus package, and which stocks were likely to benefit and be disadvantaged by both the result, and the uncertainty the election itself has created.
