While some investors may be tired of the drawn-out election process, it appears that plenty of them want to keep up with the 2016 elections.
This interest has prompted UBS to create a series of events and content for its clients that aims to give clients “unique insights into the 2016 presidential election process, potential outcomes and their policy and market implications,” the company said on Thursday.
UBS explains that the program, ElectionWatch 2016, was developed in response to client feedback and recent UBS Wealth Management Americas’ research showing the election and political environment “are top-of-mind concerns.”
(The Swiss-based investment bank is set to release earnings on Friday. Its U.S. wealth business has some 7,000 advisors and total client assets of over $1 trillion.)
In fact, a survey conducted earlier this year found that 80% of respondents are worried about the outcome of the 2016 presidential election, and 76% are worried about the size of the national debt.
“The 2016 presidential primaries have produced many unexpected outcomes and significant uncertainty remains as we head into the conventions and general election,” said Tom Naratil, president of UBS Americas and Wealth Management Americas, said in a statement.
