My Portfolio's Biggest Winners And Losers From A Republican Sweep The election's swift resolution led to a sharp market reaction; S&P 500 rose ~4.5%, but REITs were weighed down by rising Treasury rates. Trump's victory is seen as inflationary, benefiting REIT fundamentals by suppressing new construction starts due to higher interest rates. My portfolio saw significant movements post-election, with regional banks and energy stocks gaining, while renewables and healthcare REITs faced short-term declines. seekingalpha.com - 1 week ago

Granted, the growth is not in double digit territory as for SCHD and it might not come true, but that could be just as easily the case for SCHD as well. seekingalpha.com - 1 week ago
