Why Investors Should Own Businesses That Can Win Under Any Administration
The United States holds elections every two years, which is too short a period to justify a long-term investment.
Investors should focus on businesses that can thrive under any political administration, as the U.S. political landscape can shift rapidly due to frequent elections. The article highlights three companies that fit this criterion: Procter & Gamble, Federal Realty Investment Trust, and NextEra Energy. Procter & Gamble, a consumer staples company, offers essential products and has consistently increased its dividend over the years.
Federal Realty, a Dividend King real estate investment trust, owns prime strip-mall and mixed-use properties with a focus on serving tenants and their customers. Lastly, NextEra Energy, a utility company, has a strong dividend history and operates in both regulated and unregulated sectors, making it resilient to political changes.
These businesses demonstrate the importance of owning companies that can succeed irrespective of the political cycle.
