With a new president in office, many Americans are wondering how potential shifts in economic, tax and regulatory policies could affect their financial plans. At Arrow Advisors, we’re here to keep you informed and prepared for what might be coming, so you can stay on track toward your financial goals. Here’s what you should know and how to position yourself in this evolving landscape:

Economic Policy: Stability and Potential Growth Opportunities

Economic policy often changes with a new administration, and this can impact inflation, interest rates, and the broader financial markets. The incoming administration may prioritize economic growth and stability by adjusting spending, supporting certain industries, or encouraging job creation, which can lead to varying opportunities and challenges for investors. 

For those invested in stocks, bonds, or real estate, keep an eye on potential interest rate adjustments from the Federal Reserve. These can affect the cost of borrowing, mortgage rates, and bond yields. Staying informed and adaptable, especially in sectors that may benefit from increased government spending is key to navigating these shifts effectively. 

Taxes: Potential Adjustments to Income, Investments, and Estates

One of the most significant areas to watch under any new president is tax policy. Changes could impact personal and business tax rates, estate taxes and capital gains. Here’s what you might expect: 

1. Income Tax: Adjustments to income tax rates and brackets are common. If there are new deductions, credits, or bracket shifts, these changes could affect your take-home pay and overall tax strategy. Keeping your tax plan current can help you retain more of your earnings. 

2. Capital Gains Tax: Changes to capital gains taxes may affect those who draw income from investments or plan to sell assets. Discussing tax-efficient investment strategies with your advisor can help minimize potential tax burdens. 

3. Estate and Gift Taxes: For families with generational wealth or substantial assets, potential changes to estate and gift taxes could be significant. Reviewing your estate plan to align with any new policies can help ensure that your legacy is secure. 

Regulatory Adjustments: Impact on Financial Services and the Economy

A new administration can bring changes to the regulatory landscape, which could impact areas such as financial services, environmental standards, and consumer protections. These shifts may create new risks or opportunities for investors, depending on the industries impacted. Arrow Advisors can help you stay proactive by adjusting your portfolio and strategy as needed. 

Healthcare: Potential Adjustments to Benefits and Coverage

Healthcare policy remains in a high priority, and any changes could affect Medicare, Medicaid, and employer-sponsored plans. Keeping up with these adjustments is especially important if you’re planning for retirement health expenses. Our team can help ensure your retirement strategy accounts for your healthcare needs and changing policies.
