Financial advisers around the world react to a Trump presidency
By International Adviser, 9 Nov 16
Following Donald Trump’s historic win in the US elections, International Adviser asked IFAs across the globe to give their views on the next president.

“There are two points I would like to make.
“The first one is Donald Trump is all ego and bravado, however, from the time he announced he would stand for president through to this point, it is my opinion he has come to terms with the seriousness of the position.
“As a result, many of the extreme views he has held will never see the light of day. I think he really does now feel for the poor or fortunates in America. It should also be remembered there are many checks and balances in the political system.
“A president actually has to go through senate and congress for major policies and he will be confronted with many voices of reason.
“The second point is Donald Trump, again in my opinion, is a much brighter man than the likes of George Bush Jr and the survived George W Bush.
“All in all, after an initial market reaction to uncertainty I believe the short term will not bring any major market corrections.”
