“In the three periods since 1955 during which Democrats have controlled both houses (when the HSE and SEN tags on the chart are both blue), the S&P500’s annualized return for the terms covered was approximately +5%, +7%, and -3%, respectively. Conversely, the S&P500 index enjoyed annualized returns of +19% and +15% in the two periods when Republicans controlled both chambers. Currently, as we enter into the third year under majority Republican control, the S&P500 is hovering at annualized gains over 10%.”
