Janus Henderson Investors says elections can affect markets but investors should
keep a long-term perspective, since compounded returns drive financial outcomes.
Seth Meyer, head of global client portfolio management, warned the US midterms
could alter the political landscape but structural drivers of long-term returns
persist across election cycles. He added midterms typically disadvantage the
incumbent party; a Democratic takeover of the House would restore divided
government, which is not unusual.
