2025 NOV 07 (NewsRx) -- By a News Reporter-Staff News Editor at Insurance Daily News -- Research findings on risk management are discussed in a new report. According to news reporting out of Poughkeepsie, New York, by NewsRx editors, research stated, “This study investigates how U.S. presidential political leadership affects financial market performance at the sector level, offering a novel contribution to the literature that has largely focused on aggregate market indices.”

Funders for this research include Marist University School of Management Giving Day Research Grand.

Our news editors obtained a quote from the research from Department of Economics and Finance: “While prior research documents partisan effects on overall stock returns, little is known about how different sectors respond to changes in political leadership. Using sector-specific exchange-traded funds (ETFs) categorized by the Global Industry Classification Standard (GICS), we examine sectoral return patterns and volatility under Republican and Democratic presidencies. This study contributes to the growing intersection of finance and political economy by providing a nuanced, empirical understanding of sectoral behavior across political cycles.”

According to the news editors, the research concluded: “The results offer valuable insights for investors, portfolio managers, and policymakers, enhancing their ability to anticipate sector-level risks and opportunities under changing political leadership.”
