The technology sector has been the biggest winner post election. This is especially due to the tight race to White House between Donald Trump and Joe Biden. Though the election results are not yet finalized, the vote count failed to produce a clear Democratic sweep as was expected.
Investors are now betting for the divided government with the likelihood of the Republicans maintaining control of the Senate. A divided government would reduce the chances of major tax increases and tighter regulations that investors expected if Democrats scored an electoral sweep. This scenario will limit the new legislation and dims the prospect of an antitrust breakup of mega-cap tech companies (read: Trump or Biden: Whose Victory Will Benefit Tech ETFs?).
According to Dan Morgan, a senior portfolio manager at Synovus Trust Company, “the market is betting that the Senate will stay in the Republican majority whatever happens in the presidential election. A massive capital gains increase is not going to get through a Republican controlled Senate. This has a big positive impact on large-cap tech stocks that have generated huge profits for shareholders in recent years.”
Given this, we have highlighted five tech ETFs from different industries that are at the forefront of the post-election rally and gained the most after Election Day on Nov 4.
