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.

If you’re retired or nearing RMD age, your withdrawal strategy matters more than you might think. From qualified charitable distributions to thoughtful Roth conversion planning, there may be ways to better manage required withdrawals and their tax impact.

During your working years, you likely built much of your retirement savings in tax-advantaged accounts such as a 401(k) or a traditional IRA.
