Financial Planner Luke Smith joined 2CC Talking Canberra 1206AM in Money Matters, which aired live on Friday 8 November 2024. Luke joins Leon Delaney in the studio to talk about the outcomes of the US Election and what Donald Trump in the White House means for your investment portfolio? The return of  President Trump undoubtedly surprised many Australians.

Given the significance of the Australia – US relationship, some US policies might affect us domestically. And with many Australian’s holding overseas investments as part of their personal, super and retirement savings, right now is a great time to check in on what may be heading our way.

Thank you for joining us live on 2CC, YouTube or your favourite podcast streaming service with ‘The Strategy Stacker – Luke Talks Money’.

Key topics covered include:

• What does a Trump election victory actually mean?


• Why it’s important to seperate the media hype from what a US President can actually do


• Should you sell your investments now? Did you know the stock market in the US also went up after the Biden election victory?


• Things you might keep in mind going forward


• Why asset allocation and diversification still matters


• Investment markets have been good in the US even before the Trump victory.


• What about the US Debt?


• Are there certain areas of risk to be mindful of?


• Does dollar cost averaging provide a strategy to buy?


• Remember Trump is in for a 4 year period, your investment timeline is probably longer in super and retirement


• Luke shares his top 3 tips for moving forward under Trump leading the US.
