Ben Phillips, Chief Investment Officer at EventShares, a financial firm that creates ETFs based on political and other events, discusses the company's latest fund focused on the tax reform bill.
For each ETF, EventShares chooses stocks that stand to benefit based on the policies put forth by each party. The tax reform ETF functions the same way. Phillips adds that EventShares has the ability to re-balance the ETF as needed, based on the conversation coming out of Washington.
We talk about how the reform bill will impact indexes as a whole, but Phillips adds that he does not think that investing in specific indices is the way to go. He believes that investors can profit the most off of tax reform through an ETF with carefully curated companies.
Tesla reported a surprise increase in sales in the third quarter as the electric car maker likely benefited from a rush by consumers to take advantage of a $7,500 credit before it expired on Sept. 30. The company reported Thursday that sales in the three months through September rose 7% compared to the same period a year ago. The gain follows two quarters of steep declines as people turned off by CEO Elon Musk’s foray into right-wing politics avoided buying his company’s cars and even protested at some dealerships. Sales rose to 497,099 vehicles, compared with 462,890 in the same period last year.
