Bill Nygren: 2024 Q3 Commentary – The Importance of The Presidential Election

In his latest Q3 2024 commentary, Bill Nygren answers a number of interesting questions from their investors.

Here are the key takeaways:

  • Election Impact: The commentary suggests that despite the political environment, economic forces are more influential than political changes. Historically, the stock market has performed well under both Republican and Democrat administrations. A change in administration might facilitate business consolidations, benefiting certain holdings.
  • Value Investing: Despite recent challenges, Oakmark believes in the resurgence of value investing. They adopt a broader definition of value that includes intangible assets like intellectual property, which are often overlooked by traditional value metrics like low P/E ratios.

Given a dysfunctional political environment, we are fortunate that economic forces are stronger than political forces. Every four years, we are told that this election is the most important ever. But the stock market goes up under both Republican and Democrat administrations.
