In a polarized country, both sides feel like the other party's victory would be a disaster. So whatever your politics, the upcoming election is likely a source of stress. 

That's equally true for clients. A new survey from Arizent found that while retirement advisors are increasingly confident about the economy, their customers are increasingly anxious about the election. We looked at how that's affecting their attitudes about investing, as well as how advisors can guide them through this season of dread.

Speaking of retirement investments, ETFs just had a very strong month. Which ones came out on top, and which ones were left behind? We listed the funds with the biggest inflows and biggest outflows.

It's all in Financial Planning. Have a great week!
