Written by Emily J. Thompson, Senior Investment Analyst

Impact of Trump's Tax Policy on Dividends: A potential second term for Trump could lead to a corporate tax rate cut from 21% to 15%, which may increase net income margins and allow for higher dividend payouts, particularly benefiting small-cap stocks with significant U.S. operations.
Investment Opportunities in Small-Cap Stocks: Investors are encouraged to consider small-cap dividend-focused ETFs and specific stocks like Camping World and Crescent Energy, which have attractive yields and are likely to outperform due to their domestic revenue generation amidst favorable tax policies.
