At such a pivotal moment as a US election result, it\u2019s tempting to scrutinise how your nest egg has been affected \u2013 and to have a tinker based on what you think lies ahead.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">After all, the action may be playing out across the pond, but there is no doubt Donald Trump\u2019s game-changing win will have huge ramifications for all our futures.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">Bold investors may spy investing opportunities amid the change and volatility \u2013 and take a punt with money they can afford to lose.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">Our unparalleled Midas column, overleaf, has some excellent UK company ideas for such investors. Here on Mail+ you can read online some of the global companies that could benefit from a Trump win.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">But, if you\u2019re saving for the long term and looking to protect and steadily grow your wealth, stock picking may not be for you.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">Here\u2019s how to assess what a Trump win could mean for your portfolio and what \u2013 if anything \u2013 you need to do to keep yourself on course for the next four years and beyond.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\"><span style=\"font-size: 22.4px; letter-spacing: -0.224px; background-color: rgb(221, 221, 221);\"><span class=\"mol-style-bold\"><span class=\"mol-style-large\">1<\/span><\/span><\/span>\u00a0<span class=\"mol-style-large mol-style-bold\">Hold US shares\u2013 but under 60 per cent of your total<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"artSplitter mol-img-group\" style=\"\">\n<div class=\"mol-img\">\n<div class=\"image-wrap\"> <img decoding=\"async\" id=\"i-47629c92f5eff660\" src=\"https:\/\/www.businesstelegraph.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/How-the-Trump-triumph-can-perk-up-all-our-portfolios.jpg\" height=\"395\" width=\"634\" alt=\"The US stock market is simply too big to ignore\" class=\"blkBorder img-share\" style=\"max-width:100%\" loading=\"lazy\" \/> <\/div>\n<p> <noscript> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" id=\"i-47629c92f5eff660\" src=\"https:\/\/www.businesstelegraph.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/How-the-Trump-triumph-can-perk-up-all-our-portfolios.jpg\" height=\"395\" width=\"634\" alt=\"The US stock market is simply too big to ignore\" class=\"blkBorder img-share\" \/> <\/noscript> <\/div>\n<p class=\"imageCaption\">The US stock market is simply too big to ignore<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">Whether elated or distraught at the Trump victory you should have a good chunk of US company shares in your investment portfolio.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">The US stock market is simply too big to ignore. Its companies make up more than 60 per cent of the global stock market by value. What\u2019s more, much of the recent growth has come from North American firms.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">A good strategy to keep a handle on risk in your portfolio is to buy a bit of everything \u2013 investments from all around the globe and in all different sectors.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">That way, if one area is struggling it shouldn\u2019t have too much of an impact on your returns as it only makes up a small proportion of your total investments.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">If you want a portfolio totally free of bias, that simply represents the global stock market, you would have about 60 per cent of shares in US firms. But most UK investors choose to hold extra in UK companies \u2013 known as a home bias.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">And many investors have more or less in different sectors depending on which they expect to perform best over the long term.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">Evangelos Assimakos, investment director at Rathbones Investment Management, explains: \u2018How much you should allocate to the US depends on how much risk you want to take.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">\u2018Around a quarter to a third of your exposure to the stock market is a good starting point. Unless you invest in the US, you will miss out on some of the biggest growth areas at the moment, such as technology companies.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">\u2018The UK doesn\u2019t have its own Microsoft, Google parent company Alphabet, or chipmaker Nvidia, for example.\u2019<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\"><span class=\"mol-style-large mol-style-bold\">2 Market reactions can be misleading<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">Global financial markets responded rapidly to the news of Trump\u2019s win. The S&amp;P 500 index of the biggest US companies hit a record high, the dollar achieved its highest level in over four months, the gold price fell \u2013 and the cryptocurrency Bitcoin rose to a new record.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">But don\u2019t assume these initial market reactions are setting the tone for the next four years \u2013 they may not be a good indicator of the longer-term trends.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">Damien Fahy, founder of personal finance website Money To The Masses, says: \u2018Long-term investors shouldn\u2019t have a knee-jerk reaction to what is happening in markets right now. History and their own experience (they probably invested through Trump\u2019s first term in office), should teach them to cut through the noise surrounding the election outcome.\u2019<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">Fahy gives the example of the US dollar, which surged on the news of Trump\u2019s victory as it did when he won eight years ago.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">\u2018If we go back to 2016, the pound tumbled against the US dollar after Trump\u2019s first election victory and by January 2017 it was just above $1.20,\u2019 he says. \u2018Yet by January 2018 the pound was above $1.40, before ultimately falling back. A Trump victory doesn\u2019t automatically mean the US dollar will strengthen.\u2019 Thomas Becket, co-chief investment officer at Canaccord Genuity Wealth Management, sees a similar trend in the green renewable technology sector, an area that Trump has expressed dislike for. He prefers fossil fuels.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">\u2018Companies in this sector were among the worst performers when the election result came in,\u2019 says Becket. \u2018But I wouldn\u2019t necessarily extrapolate that into the future.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">\u2018Under the first Trump administration, the best performing sector was renewable technology. Ultimately, most of these companies are achieving the profits that they said they would, and if investors liked them three years ago, there must be even more to like now because they are cheaper.\u2019<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\"><span class=\"mol-style-large mol-style-bold\">3 Stronger US dollar may give double boost<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"artSplitter mol-img-group\" style=\"\">\n<div class=\"mol-img\">\n<div class=\"image-wrap\"> <img decoding=\"async\" id=\"i-235e094929dd070e\" src=\"https:\/\/www.businesstelegraph.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/1731212471_409_How-the-Trump-triumph-can-perk-up-all-our-portfolios.jpg\" height=\"390\" width=\"634\" alt=\"Darius McDermott, of FundCalibre, advises investors to keep an eye on the US currency\" class=\"blkBorder img-share\" style=\"max-width:100%\" loading=\"lazy\" \/> <\/div>\n<p> <noscript> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" id=\"i-235e094929dd070e\" src=\"https:\/\/www.businesstelegraph.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/1731212471_409_How-the-Trump-triumph-can-perk-up-all-our-portfolios.jpg\" height=\"390\" width=\"634\" alt=\"Darius McDermott, of FundCalibre, advises investors to keep an eye on the US currency\" class=\"blkBorder img-share\" \/> <\/noscript> <\/div>\n<p class=\"imageCaption\">Darius McDermott, of FundCalibre, advises investors to keep an eye on the US currency<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">A powerful US dollar against sterling is bad news for Britons holidaying in the States.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">And\u00a0there is no guarantee that the recent surge in the dollar will be sustained.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">But, if the dollar does remain strong, your portfolio could profit. That\u2019s because if you buy an investment in US dollars and the currency strengthens, you will benefit both from any increase in the investment returns and from its higher value once changed back into pounds again.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">Darius McDermott, managing director of investment research agency FundCalibre, says: \u2018DIY investors often overlook the implications of currency fluctuations, but they can significantly impact portfolios.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">\u2018For UK investors holding US dollar-domiciled assets, the strengthening dollar against the pound enhances the value of those investments at the point of sale, with a favourable exchange rate when converting back to sterling.\u2019<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">However, bear in mind that the advantage can reverse if the dollar weakens, making non-UK investments just that bit riskier.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">That\u2019s one of the reasons why UK investors tend to have a home bias, so that they are earning income in the same currency that they spend.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\"><span class=\"mol-style-large mol-style-bold\">4 Check which US companies you hold<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">If you\u2019ve not checked on your US holdings for a long time, there is a good chance you have massive holdings in a very small number. That is because a handful of companies have driven most of the growth over the past few months.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">The so-called Magnificent Seven companies (Nvidia, Microsoft, Alphabet, Apple, Amazon, Meta and Tesla) make up about a third of the value of the top 500 companies in the US.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">It makes sense to hold them in your portfolio \u2013 you are likely to by default if you have invested in a US or global fund. But make sure you are holding a proportion that you are comfortable with.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">Cannacord\u2019s Becket adds that a broader set of companies may benefit from a Trump government. \u2018There could be greater participation in the rally from some sectors that have lagged behind for so long, such as the banks and smaller companies,\u2019 he says.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">Becket doesn\u2019t recommend simply buying a large number of bank shares, but says investors should check they have a breadth of US companies. Evangelos Assimakos agrees. \u2018Every party comes to an end and the value of these seven companies can\u2019t keep rising for ever,\u2019 he says.<\/p>\n<div data-mol-fe-xpmodule-tim-affiliate=\"true\" data-dark-mode=\"false\" data-environment=\"production\" data-platform=\"desktop\" data-reactroot=\"\">\n<div class=\"mol-fe-xpmodule-tim-affiliate\">\n<p><h2>DIY INVESTING PLATFORMS<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<div class=\"list-wrapper\">\n<div class=\"item-wrapper\">\n<div class=\"view-wrapper\">\n<div class=\"image row\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.businesstelegraph.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Ashtead-booosted-by-US-039mega-projects039-and-green-bill-but.png\" alt=\"Easy investing and ready-made portfolios\" \/><\/div>\n<p><h3>AJ Bell<\/h3>\n<\/p>\n<div class=\"content\">\n<div class=\"image column\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.businesstelegraph.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Ashtead-booosted-by-US-039mega-projects039-and-green-bill-but.png\" alt=\"Easy investing and ready-made portfolios\" \/><\/div>\n<p><h3>AJ Bell<\/h3>\n<\/p>\n<p><span>Easy investing and ready-made portfolios<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"item-wrapper\">\n<div class=\"view-wrapper\">\n<div class=\"image row\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.businesstelegraph.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/1693947518_414_Ashtead-booosted-by-US-039mega-projects039-and-green-bill-but.jpg\" alt=\"Free fund dealing and investment ideas\" \/><\/div>\n<p><h3>Hargreaves Lansdown<\/h3>\n<\/p>\n<div class=\"content\">\n<div class=\"image column\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.businesstelegraph.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/1693947518_414_Ashtead-booosted-by-US-039mega-projects039-and-green-bill-but.jpg\" alt=\"Free fund dealing and investment ideas\" \/><\/div>\n<p><h3>Hargreaves Lansdown<\/h3>\n<\/p>\n<p><span>Free fund dealing and investment ideas<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"item-wrapper\">\n<div class=\"view-wrapper\">\n<div class=\"image row\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.businesstelegraph.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/1693947522_115_Ashtead-booosted-by-US-039mega-projects039-and-green-bill-but.png\" alt=\"Flat-fee investing from \u00a34.99 per month\" \/><\/div>\n<p><h3>interactive investor<\/h3>\n<\/p>\n<div class=\"content\">\n<div class=\"image column\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.businesstelegraph.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/1693947522_115_Ashtead-booosted-by-US-039mega-projects039-and-green-bill-but.png\" alt=\"Flat-fee investing from \u00a34.99 per month\" \/><\/div>\n<p><h3>interactive investor<\/h3>\n<\/p>\n<p><span>Flat-fee investing from \u00a34.99 per month<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"item-wrapper\">\n<div class=\"view-wrapper\">\n<div class=\"image row\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.businesstelegraph.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/UK-039runs-a-risk039-on-wind-power-Mix-of-tech-is.png\" alt=\"Get \u00a3200 back in trading fees\" \/><\/div>\n<p><h3>Saxo<\/h3>\n<\/p>\n<div class=\"content\">\n<div class=\"image column\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.businesstelegraph.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/UK-039runs-a-risk039-on-wind-power-Mix-of-tech-is.png\" alt=\"Get \u00a3200 back in trading fees\" \/><\/div>\n<p><h3>Saxo<\/h3>\n<\/p>\n<p><span>Get \u00a3200 back in trading fees<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"item-wrapper\">\n<div class=\"view-wrapper\">\n<div class=\"image row\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.businesstelegraph.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/How-the-Trump-triumph-can-perk-up-all-our-portfolios.png\n\" alt=\"Free dealing and no account fee\" \/><\/div>\n<p><h3>Trading 212<\/h3>\n<\/p>\n<div class=\"content\">\n<div class=\"image column\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.businesstelegraph.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/How-the-Trump-triumph-can-perk-up-all-our-portfolios.png\n\" alt=\"Free dealing and no account fee\" \/><\/div>\n<p><h3>Trading 212<\/h3>\n<\/p>\n<p><span>Free dealing and no account fee<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"tim-affiliate-text\">Affiliate links: If you take out a product This is Money may earn a commission.

These are issued by the US government and are linked to inflation.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\"><span class=\"mol-style-large mol-style-bold\">6 Hang on to your gold investment<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">Gold can be a useful element of an investment portfolio \u2013 it may not pay any income, but it can work as a store of value.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">Its price fell immediately after the election result, but that doesn\u2019t mean that you should ditch your holding.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">Assimakos says the investment case remains as strong, and the sell-off may have been driven in part by investors taking profits. \u2018Investors may have been following the strategy \u201cBuy the rumour, sell the fact\u201d. In other words, they bought gold on the expectation that Trump would win, which drove up the price, and then sold off to make a profit.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">\u2018Gold works as a long-term preserver of value, especially when governments introduce policies that create inflation, which erodes the purchasing power of their citizens.\u2019<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\"><span class=\"mol-style-large\"><span class=\"mol-style-bold\">7 You may not have<\/span> <\/span><span class=\"mol-style-large mol-style-bold\">to do anything<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">It is a good idea to go through your portfolio every few months to make sure that your goals are on track and your strategy is working.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">But Rathbones\u2019 Assimakos warns that \u2018getting caught up in the noise and the headlines can lead to your own demise\u2019.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">He warns against overtrading, which can lead to higher costs and the risk of making knee-jerk reactions that you live to regret.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">\u2018You may call it right, but you could also, for example, follow the herd and sell gold and then watch as the price rises again and you have to chase it back up again to buy back in,\u2019 he says.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">Instead, he recommends holding a portfolio of quality stocks and being reassured that financial markets tend to go up in the long term. You may not have to take any action \u2013 and any changes you do make should be carefully thought through to fit your long-term strategy.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">Damien Fahy adds that market volatility usually subsides within four days of an election result.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">\u2018History also shows us that ultimately it\u2019s the economic backdrop (whether there is a recession), black swan events (difficult to predict, high-impact situations like the pandemic) and central bank policy \u2013 which are likely to have the biggest sway over the direction of stock markets and bond markets, both in the US and globally, during the next presidential term,\u2019 he says.<\/p>\n<ul class=\"mol-bullets-with-font\">\n<li class=\"mol-style-italic\">Rachel.rickard@mailonsunday.co.uk<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div class=\"art-ins mol-factbox money\" data-version=\"2\" id=\"mol-35eeb400-9eb5-11ef-b606-9b8e338f8740\" data-permabox-url=\"https:\/\/www.dailymail.co.uk\/money\/mailplus\/article-14063027\/How-Trump-triumph-perk-portfolios.html\">\n<h3 class=\"mol-factbox-title\">US funds to consider<\/h3>\n<div class=\"ins cleared mol-factbox-body\">\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">You may find that US investments already make up a sufficient proportion of your portfolio.
