What might the upcoming U.S. midterm election mean for investors?

While markets can react to election headlines and unexpected outcomes, history reminds us that long-term investing and political predictions don't always go hand in hand.

Our Senior Global Investment Strategist Angelo Kourkafas and Head of Policy, Regulatory and Government Relations Andy Blocker sat down together at the Edward Jones Town Square in Washington, D.C., to discuss why investors may want to focus on their long-term goals instead of short-term political noise, and what past midterm elections can teach us about market performance.

Many people assume financial confidence comes with age. In my experience, it's not quite that simple.

New research from Edward Jones and Gallup shows that people across generations share concerns about their financial future. Younger adults are often working to build wealth, while older adults are focused on making their savings last. But both are looking for greater peace of mind about what's ahead.

That's one reason I enjoy helping clients create personalized strategies that align with their goals and priorities, both today and as their needs evolve over time.

Older adults are much more confident than younger adults in managing their current finances. Confidence in managing future finances, however, differs less by age.

I enjoyed reading this recent Kiplinger article featuring our Head of Wealth Management and Field Management, David Chubak. One point that stood out to me is how many families are balancing long-term goals with desire to support loved ones today.

It’s something that often comes up in conversations with clients, whether it’s helping adult children with housing expenses, student debt or other financial challenges. As David notes, "The reality is we live in an age of financial uncertainty and anxiety like no other." Having open conversations and a thoughtful plan can help families navigate those decisions with greater confidence.

Early on, progress can feel slow, especially when you're balancing family, work and other financial priorities. But once your portfolio grows, investment returns can begin doing more of the heavy lifting.

If you're working toward your first $100,000, stay focused on the habits that matter most: investing consistently, staying diversified and remaining committed through market ups and downs. Those habits can make all the difference over time.
