Fisher Investments' Founder Explains the Impact the Supreme Court Has on Markets

Fisher Investments’ founder, Executive Chairman and Co-Chief Investment Officer Ken Fisher explains how the Supreme Court makeup might impact capital markets. Ken reaffirms markets pre-price widely known information and only look 3 to 30 months into the future. As such, any changes to Court structure—which are often highly anticipated and seldom happen given each justice’s lifetime appointment—should not impact capital markets. Additionally, while many of the Court’s high-profile rulings may affect the country in the long term, most cases go without media coverage, take a long time to resolve and are not decided upon by a close vote—lacking the surprise power to move markets.
