Coffee Talk: The Election and Markets

With the presidential election only 11 days away, we’ve been having many conversations within our community about how to position portfolios in anticipation of one result or the other.

And is it wise to even try? Brian and Kurt discuss what really matters in today’s market and where there may be opportunities on the horizon.
