Polarization Affecting Asset Allocation in the Economy
Political polarization is hitting the U.S. economy in new and unexpected ways. It’s even affecting how assets are allocated.

In more recent years, the impact of polarization has become more evident and costly. The antidote: get along and find common ground.
