CFA Society Switzerland Webinar: Not the Usual US Mid Terms – Americans are unconvinced by both parties
Date: 25 October 2026
Dear reader
We are honoured that Mr. Takushi has been invited once again to share his outlook for the next US elections with the CFA Society and the wider financial industry.
The Swiss CFA Society takes registrations until Monday morning.
These recurring presentations at the CFA Society tied to the two-year cycle of US Elections are an important “highlight” of our work agenda and we go after it with a deep sense of duty.
As usual what Mr Takushi will share is based solely on stringent analysis and he will present the scenarios with the highest probabilities. As in the past we strive to be non-partisan, un-ideological and balanced. The speech has not been influenced by AI in any meaningful way.
For new readers
We have committed to objective analysis of geopolitical and economic developments – doing so with respect and a balanced approach. We seek to add value. Especially, because many commentators, journalists and analysts these days are passing judgement. Some are keen to shape public opinion rather than reporting or analysing facts. We appreciate activists – the world needs them, but we also need analysts that strive to separate their personal opinion from their professional work.
Furthermore we have committed to focus on that which consensus is underestimating and we release a report only when our analysis deviates from consensus significantly or we change our outlook significantly. A reminder: we are not a periodical. When we release a report depends solely on how our analysis differs from consensus and if we have changed our assessment. We are independent and we think independently. We don’t let AI write any of our reports.

A personal note from our founder, Christian Takushi:
The great advantage of being an analysis-driven economist, rather than an activist for the left or the right, is that balanced analysis-driven research produces much more accurate predictions and we can pursue relentless analysis in search for the truth. Not only that, once we have a stable working hypothesis (or explanation) we keep revisiting it. I embrace the duty and freedom to change my assessment should new evidence arise. The primacy of National Security sets boundaries though, security concerns we should all respect. While this may no longer be today’s predominant reality, it used to be a standard in science and professional analysis. One that implied that one should separate personal views from empirical analysis.
