American voters determine their next president in less than a year. But Wall Street and Main Street are already paying close attention to every poll and candidate proclamation. And no wonder? They’re hoping to get a better handle on potential outcomes and potential market reactions—and to best position their portfolios for the likeliest path going forward.

Panel members will also explore the ramifications for taxes, spending, geopolitics, and markets of each scenario—and what investors like you should do to adapt.
