U.S. Equity Performance Since the Election
Chart of the Week for February 24, 2017 - March 2, 2017
The chart above shows the return for three U.S Equity Indexes since the 2016 election (November 8, 2016 close through February 17, 2017 close) on a price return basis. The Dow Jones Industrial Average ("Dow") is a price-weighted index of 30 large-cap equities, the Standard & Poor's 500 Index ("S&P 500") is a market cap-weighted index of 500 large-cap equities, and the NASDAQ Composite Index ("NASDAQ") is a market cap-weighted index of about 3,000 multi-cap equities. These three indexes are often cited in the media when discussing U.S. equity market performance.
The Dow had the best performance (12.50%), followed by NASDAQ (12.42%) and the S&P 500 (9.89%). Equities across all market-cap sectors benefitted from stronger corporate earnings and signs of stronger U.S. economic growth, as well as political discussions of the potential for reduced corporate tax rates and reduced business regulations. While the current strong performance is good news for equity investors, there is no assurance of future performance.
