"White House basket" stocks significantly outperform the S&P 500

Bloomberg Industry Research ETF analyst Athanasios Psarofagis stated that a basket of stocks related to Trump’s policy signals has risen by 75% since the start of his second term, far exceeding the S&P 500’s roughly 20% increase over the same period. However, obstacles to ETF listings have limited retail investors’ access.

This basket includes about 16 stocks linked to government support and Trump’s public endorsements, with Intel and American Rare Earths leading among its constituents.

Psarofagis also pointed out that the basket’s volatility is significantly higher than the broader market, with deeper drawdowns and more dramatic cycles of ups and downs, reflecting its high sensitivity to policy trends.

Meanwhile, investors currently find it difficult to participate directly in this theme through standardized products. An ETF designed to capture politically influenced strategies has so far failed to launch, as exchanges are unwilling to list it for trading, highlighting ongoing disputes around compliance and definition for such exposures.
