The stock market indexes have enjoyed record highs in recent years with the S&amp;P 500 outperforming other years with President&nbsp;Joe Biden&nbsp;leading the country for the last&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/education/24/02/37275812/if-you-invested-in-the-s-p-500-when-joe-biden-became-president-heres-how-much-youd-have-today" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">nearly four years.</a>
Not all stocks went up with Biden in office and investors may want to take a look back at the worst performing stocks of 2021 to prepare themselves for what could be ahead with the 2024 election nearing.
What Happened:&nbsp;Biden stepped down from&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/2024-election" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">the 2024 presidential election&nbsp;</a>earlier this year. While the current president won&#8217;t be re-elected to the White House, past performance with a Democrat as president could highlight which stocks and sectors could be winners if&nbsp;Kamala Harris&nbsp;is victorious in Tuesday&#8217;s election.
The S&amp;P 500, which is tracked by the&nbsp;SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust&nbsp;(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPY#NYSE">SPY</a>),&nbsp;was up 26.9% in 2021. This marked the best yearly performance since 2018 and the second-best performance for the key stock market index in the last 11 years.
The 12 months following Election Day 2020, which was won by Biden,&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/22/01/25137004/biden-vs-trump-how-did-stock-market-returns-compare-after-their-first-year-as-president" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">saw the S&amp;P 500 gain 37.4%.</a>&nbsp;This was the best one-year market return under a president in many years.
While many stocks were up in 2021, not all of the publicly traded companies had positive returns on the year.
Here were the 10 best-performing S&amp;P 500 stocks in 2021, according to a <a href="https://www.statmuse.com/money/ask/worst-performing-stocks-in-2021-in-the-s-and-p-500" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">report </a>from StatMuse, and their sectors.

<li>Las Vegas Sands (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LVS#NYSE">LVS</a>): -37.1%, consumer discretionary/casinos</li>
<li>Global Payments (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GPN#NYSE">GPN</a>): -36.8%, financials</li>
<li>Market Axess (NASDAQ::MKTX): -28.1%, financials</li>
<li>Viatris (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/VTRS#NASDAQ">VTRS</a>): -25.8%, health care</li>
<li>Wynn Resorts (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WYNN#NASDAQ">WYNN</a>): -24.8%, consumer discretionary/casinos</li>

<li>Erie Indemnity (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ERIE#NASDAQ">ERIE</a>): -20.3%, insurance</li>

The results above show that financials was an underperforming sector in 2021 and also includes several casino stocks on the list. Peak at the top<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/21/12/24848823/10-worst-performing-s-p-500-stocks-of-2021"> 10 best performing</a> S&amp;P 500 stocks here.

What's interesting for investors could be the correlation for some stocks based on who was in the White House.
Wynn Resorts was the fourth best performing stock in the S&amp;P 500 in 2017 under Trump, but was an underperformer in 2021 under Biden. PayPal was the eighth best performing stock in the S&amp;P 500 in 2017, but was an underperformer in 2021.
The results above could show that financials and casino stocks could be underperformers if Harris wins the presidency based on the past results and Democratic Party leadership.
With less than one week until the 2024 election, investors are likely positioning their portfolio based on a Trump or&nbsp;Harris&nbsp;victory in some regards. With a close election predicted, investors may want to look to sectors that could benefit under either candidate.
Freedom Capital Markets&nbsp;Chief Global Strategist&nbsp;Jay Woods&nbsp;previously<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/etfs/sector-etfs/24/08/40515453/exclusive-trump-or-harris-12-stocks-2-etfs-could-win-no-matter-whos-president-says-market-strate" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">&nbsp;shared some sectors&nbsp;</a>and stocks to watch with Benzinga that could benefit regardless of whether Trump or Harris wins the 2024 election.
Woods named defense stocks and cybersecurity stocks as two of the top sectors to watch ahead of the 2024 election.
"I think you've got to watch this sector closely," Woods said of the defense sector.
Woods added that defense stocks could continue to benefit from geopolitical concerns and the world&#8217;s many adverse events.

Fund manager Matthew Tuttle made waves in the ETF space for his unique funds that offer ways for investors to get leveraged exposure or <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/01/36500461/exclusive-the-man-who-shorts-cathie-wood-and-jim-cramer-filed-for-new-bitcoin-etfs-why-lev">bet against well-known financial figures</a> like Jim Cramer and Cathie Wood.
Tuttle is back with a new fund that gives investors a way to invest in companies that are not meeting ESG (environmental, social, and governance) requirements.
What Happened: Tuttle Capital Management launched the ETF Opportunities Trust Tuttle Capital Shareholders First Index ETF (BATS:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ESGX#BATS">ESGX</a>), a new ETF that gives investors<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/esg/23/09/34288808/want-to-bet-against-woke-companies-theres-an-etf-for-that"> a way to invest </a>in companies that "focus on profits, not politics or trendy activisms of the moment."
"ESGX allows investors to choose a portfolio of companies that follow the comment sense notion that companies that focus on profits are better for investors than companies that don't," a press release for the fund reads.
The ETF follows the AJN Shareholders First Index, which tracks a portfolio of U.S. companies that meet the requirement of focusing on profits and ignoring politics and "trendy activisms of the moment."
"Too many companies today put ESG and DEI politics first and their shareholders' profits last," Tuttle Capital CEO Matthew Tuttle said. "ESG has become a way for liberal executives and large investors to enact social changes that they can't pass at the ballot box."
Tuttle said CEOs can be pressured to "cave to the trendy politics of the moment," and often times this is not in the best interest of shareholders.
"That's why we launched ESGX – to put shareholders and profits first."
Tuttle added that investors had limited options of ways to invest in companies that put profits ahead of politics before the ETF launched.
As of Sept. 9, the following were the top <a href="http://ShareholdersFirstETF.com">holdings </a>in the ESGX ETF:
<ul>
<li>MarketAxess Holdings (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MKTX#NASDAQ">MKTX</a>): 2.3% of assets</li>
<li>Evergy Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/EVRG#NASDAQ">EVRG</a>): 2.2% of assets</li>
<li>J.B. Hunt Transport Services (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JBHT#NASDAQ">JBHT</a>): 2.1% of assets</li>
<li>MDU Resources Group (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MDU#NYSE">MDU</a>): 2.1% of assets</li>
<li>RLI Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RLI#NYSE">RLI</a>): 2.1% of assets</li>
</ul>
The ETF launch comes after companies like Anheuser-Busch InBev (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BUD#NYSE">BUD</a>), Planet Fitness (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PLNT#NYSE">PLNT</a>), Target Corporation (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TGT#NYSE">TGT</a>) and others have been <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/23/06/33083401/mark-cuban-vs-chamath-palihapitiya-billionaires-battle-over-go-woke-go-broke-mantra">accused by consumers</a> and investors of focusing too heavily on ESG and DEI policies and "going woke" instead of worrying about financial growth and returns for shareholders.

Self Defense ETF Also Launches: Tuttle Capital also launched the Spinnaker ETF Series Tuttle Capital Self Defense Index ETF (BATS:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GUNZ#BATS">GUNZ</a>) Tuesday.
The fund invests in companies that are engaged in self-defense, with a belief that the United States is becoming less safe.
The ETF invests in companies that manufacture, service, supply and distribute personal and law enforcement defense equipment and protection services. The fund tracks the AJN Self Defense U.S. Equity Index.
"Americans feel less safe and feel there is more crime in the country now than last year. Many Americans are taking self defense into their own hands," Tuttle said.
Tuttle added that shares of gun manufacturers have also risen after the assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump.
"Gun sales have rebounded after nearly three years of continuous decline and firearms manufacturers world wide have seen their stock surge after the terrorist attack on Israel and the Trump assassination attempt."
As of Sept. 9, the following were the top <a href="https://www.gunzetf.com/">holdings </a>in the GUNZ ETF:
<ul>
<li>Palantir Technologies (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PLTR#NYSE">PLTR</a>): 8.9% of assets</li>

Fund Manager Who Bet Against Jim Cramer And Cathie Wood Has New Anti-Woke ETF: 'Puts Profits Ahead Of Politics, DEI & ESG'

MarketAxess Holdings Inc. (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/mktx#NASDAQ">MKTX</a>) is benefiting from increased trading volumes, a robust Open Trading platform, acquisitions and partnerships, as well as solid cash-generating abilities.&nbsp;&nbsp;
<h3>Zacks Rank &amp; Price Performance</h3>
MarketAxess carries a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) at present.&nbsp;
The stock has gained 8.1% in the past six months, in line with the industry.
<img alt="Zacks Investment Research" src="https://staticx-tuner.zacks.com/images/articles/charts/0c/74946.jpg?v=939782468" />
Image Source: Zacks Investment Research
<h3>Robust Growth Prospects</h3>
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for MarketAxess&#39; 2024 earnings is pegged at $7.06 per share, which indicates a year-over-year improvement of 3.1% from the 2023 reported figure. The consensus mark for revenues is pegged at $813.2 million, implying a year-over-year increase of 8.1% from the 2023 figure.
The consensus estimate for 2025 earnings is pegged at $7.97 per share, which indicates a year-over-year increase of 12.9% from the 2024 estimated figure. The consensus estimate for revenues is pegged at $909.7 million, implying a year-over-year improvement of 11.9% from the 2024 estimated figure.
<h3>Northbound Estimate Revision</h3>
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for 2024 earnings has been revised 0.7% upward in the past 30 days.
<h3>Decent Earnings Surprise History</h3>
MKTX&#39;s earnings beat estimates in three of the trailing four quarters and missed the mark once, the average surprise being 2.63%.
<h3>Solid Return on Equity</h3>
The return on equity for MKTX is 20.4%, which is higher than the industry average of 13.2%. This substantiates the company&#39;s efficiency in utilizing shareholders&#39; funds.
<h3>Business Tailwinds</h3>
MarketAxess continues to benefit from higher trading volumes, a key driver of commissions, which are the most significant contributor to MKTX&#39;s overall revenues. The company has achieved consistent top-line growth for more than a decade, which is impressive. In the first half of 2024, it reported an average daily volume of $33.4 billion, indicating a 1% year-over-year increase.
As a leading electronic platform operator, MarketAxess has gained significant market share across its diversified product suite, including U.S. High-Grade, U.S. High-Yield, Eurobonds and Emerging Markets. The company pursues acquisitions and partnerships to enhance its product offerings, explore new markets, introduce new products or services and expand its reach in the fixed-income markets.
MarketAxess has a strong presence in the Open Trading marketplace, which provides price improvements for clients, reduces risk in fixed-income markets and lowers transaction costs. Leveraging its Open Trading platform, the company aims to further digitize product areas that have yet to see full trading electronification.
Beyond its U.S. client base, MKTX serves an extensive international clientele of more than 1,000 active firms that access its platform through regulated venues in Europe, Asia and Latin America. The company continues to invest in building relationships with overseas clients, which is expected to sustain revenues from international markets in the future.
To maintain a competitive edge and support growth initiatives, MarketAxess relies on a solid financial foundation. The company has substantial cash reserves and generated operating cash flows of $113.9 million in the first half of 2024, which inched up 0.9% from the prior-year comparable period. These strong cash flows not only support business investments but also allow MKTX to engage in share buybacks and dividend payments.
<h3>Risks</h3>
Despite the upside potential, there are a few factors that investors should keep an eye on.
MarketAxess has experienced rising expenses over the past few years due to ongoing investments in its trading platform, new protocols, infrastructure and additional staff. These investments are likely to keep costs elevated.
Meanwhile, the Federal Reserve&#39;s rate hikes to curb inflation have led to higher bond yields, making lower-yielding bonds less appealing to investors. This increase in bond yields, combined with the shorter duration of U.S. high-grade bonds, may result in a lower fee capture, potentially impacting the company&#39;s revenue growth.
<h3>Stocks to Consider</h3>
Some better-ranked stocks in the Finance space are Citizens Community Bancorp, Inc. (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/czwi#NASDAQ">CZWI</a>), Ally Financial Inc. (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ally#NYSE">ALLY</a>) and CrossFirst Bankshares, Inc. (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/cfb#NASDAQ">CFB</a>). While Citizens Community Bancorp sports a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy), Ally Financial and CrossFirst Bankshares carry a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy) each at present.
Citizens Community Bancorp&#39;s earnings surpassed estimates in three of the trailing four quarters and matched the mark once, the average surprise being 35.50%. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for CZWI&#39;s 2024 earnings indicates a rise of 1.6% from the year-ago figure. The consensus mark for CZWI&#39;s earnings has moved 6.6% north in the past 30 days.
The bottom line of Ally Financial beat estimates in each of the trailing four quarters, the average surprise being 24.71%. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for ALLY&#39;s 2024 earnings indicates an improvement of 15.1% while the consensus mark for revenues implies growth of 0.6% from the corresponding year-ago figures. The consensus mark for ALLY&#39;s earnings has moved 2.6% north in the past 30 days.
CrossFirst Bankshares&#39; earnings outpaced estimates in each of the last four quarters, the average surprise being 8.79%. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for CFB&#39;s 2024 earnings indicates an improvement of 4.1% while the consensus mark for revenues implies growth of 5.1% from the corresponding year-ago figures.&nbsp; The consensus mark for CFB&#39;s earnings has moved 1.3% north in the past 30 days.
Shares of Citizens Community Bancorp, Ally Financial and CrossFirst Bankshares have gained 10%, 15.6% and 31.4%, respectively, in the past six months.
