Political headlines can create anxiety for investors, especially during election years. In this episode of the WestPac Wealth Investments Podcast, Joe DeLisi explains how politics and markets actually interact.

Joe reviews historical market data across multiple election cycles and presidential administrations to show how markets have behaved during periods of political uncertainty. He also discusses the risks of emotional decision-making and why disciplined investment strategies are designed to weather political shifts, volatility, and short-term market reactions.

This episode provides perspective for investors who want to understand what truly drives market performance, how to stay focused during uncertain times, and why a long-term plan matters more than political headlines.
