Contributing sentiments towards policy:

55% : When it comes to investing in sectors such as financials and energy under Trump, Bianco believes that size matters.
53% : While the equity market overall might perform better under Trump, DWS Group sees investment opportunities regardless of who wins the presidency.
53% : Bianco also identified two other areas of the market that would perform under Trump: financials and pharmaceuticals.
52% : Should Trump win the presidency and maintain or lower taxes, small-caps would disproportionately benefit.
49% : Trump has been especially enthusiastic about supporting the fossil fuel industry, promising voters at the Republican National Convention that he would lower the cost of energy by spurring domestic production of oil and gas.
48% : "There's probably a little bit more upside if Trump does win on small caps, particularly at energy and financials," he said.
47% : Trump also hasn't made drug prices or pharmaceutical regulation a significant part of his platform, meaning that pharmaceutical companies will, similar to big banks, receive less scrutiny regarding mergers and acquisitions and other business activities.
33% : If Trump does follow through with the protectionist tariff policies that he's been touting, inflation is likely to creep up again, reducing the likelihood of a rate cut.
