The outcome of the 2020 election could have the largest swing in economic policy in our lifetimes. Democratic control of both the White House and Congress with the potential ending of the Senate 60 vote filibuster rule will drive the shift. Fiscal stimulus, tax & trade policy and clean energy/environment will all see big changes. Banks, insurers and tech will likely see regulatory shifts that may disrupt their business models. But any form of a split Congress/Presidency will contain major challenges across the entire economy. Andrew Busch tackles all of this and answers the key questions: what does it mean for your industry and how you can prepare for it? In this keynote, Andy objectively breaks down the winner’s policies impacting the economy, business and jobs. He'll give you the winners and losers in each sector of the economy. Trade, tax and energy will all be impacted and discussed. Andy takes your audience out of the current COVID chaos to provide confidence in the future. - ESG: A Major Growth Opportunity
Environmental, Social and Governance or ESG is considered one of the hottest investment themes today for clients and investment professionals. Andy explains how a Biden victory and the new EU budget will supercharge interest in ESG. This is already happening as record amount of money has flowed into sustainable focused ETFs and open-end mutual funds in both in 2019. Most striking, money flowed into ESG equity products in 2020 when almost all other equity funds saw money leave.
