Research Shows Mixed-Party Fund Managers Outperform Single-Party Teams Since Trump's November 2024 Win

According to research from the University of Michigan, mutual fund management teams composed of both Republican and Democratic members have delivered better investment returns than teams made up of a single political party. The study analyzed active equity funds during the COVID-19 period and found that politically diverse teams make superior investment decisions due to greater ideological flexibility and cognitive openness. In contrast, teams with aligned political views are constrained by more rigid ideologies, limiting portfolio selection and adaptive capacity to market changes. Since November 2024, three political-themed ETFs—including MAGA-US (GOP-focused), DEMZ-US (Democratic-focused), and ACVF-US (conservative values-focused)—have shown similar return trajectories through May 2026, with no significant performance differentiation.
