Legal &amp; General Investment Management (LGIM), the U.K.&#8217;s largest asset manager, has decided to abandon its bet on the steepening of the Treasury curve. This decision comes in the wake of President Joe Biden&#8216;s unexpected withdrawal from the U.S. election race.
What Happened: Christopher Jeffery, head of macro asset allocation at LGIM, expressed that the chances of a clean sweep by Donald Trump and his party in the House of Representatives and the Senate have decreased. This speculation had led investors to believe that such an outcome would trigger inflation and worsen U.S. finances, pushing longer-dated yields higher, Bloomberg <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2024-07-25/uk-s-biggest-investor-lgim-ditches-trump-trade-on-biden-drop-out?srnd=homepage-americas">reported</a> on Thursday.

&#8220;We took off our steepening exposure because we thought Biden dropping out would stop the momentum that has been building behind a Republican clean sweep,&#8221; Jeffery explained. LGIM manages approximately $1.5 trillion in assets.
Vice President Kamala Harris Harris&#8217;s rise potentially sets the stage for a closer contest in November. A divided government would make it more difficult to implement significant policy changes.
Jeffery added, &#8220;It's unclear to what extent it effects the presidential outcome but it does change the prospect for voter turnout on the Democrat side.&#8221;
Why It Matters: With Harris gaining support among Democrats, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/07/39883677/investors-anticipate-unraveling-of-trump-trade-as-biden-exits-presidential-race-but-analyst-says-its">markets are now reassessing</a> the &#8220;Trump trades,&#8221; which are primarily based on his plans for tax cuts and higher tariffs. Despite this, the Treasury curve steepened again on Wednesday, driven by commentary from Federal Reserve officials and weak economic data, which sparked speculation on interest-rate cuts.
A new election poll shows a close head-to-head battle between<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/politics/24/07/39946360/trump-vs-harris-2024-election-candidates-tied-in-new-poll-65-of-democrats-say-biden-stepping-dow"> Harris and Trump</a>, with 65% of Democrats also said that Biden stepping down increases the party&#8217;s chances of winning the 2024 election.

Workers often forego billions of dollars in gains that they could have made off <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/07/39819250/do-you-know-how-much-you-should-have-in-your-401-k-heres-what-experts-recommend-vs-the-actual-av">their retirement plans</a>. 
Why? They unknowingly roll their savings into cash holdings instead of new investments after they switch jobs.
When a 401(k) balance from an old company&#8217;s plan is rolled over into an individual retirement account (IRA), that money is usually held as cash until it is put into new investments held by the IRA. 
Almost a third of workers who rolled savings into IRAs at Vanguard Group in 2015 still had the balance sitting in cash seven years later, the New York Times <a href="https://www.wsj.com/personal-finance/retirement/the-401-k-rollover-mistake-that-costs-retirement-savers-billions-c7a19dfa?mod=hp_lista_pos1">reported</a>.
Americans with IRAs that hold a lot of cash forfeit more than $172 billion a year in retirement wealth that could have been made by investing in stocks and bonds, a Vanguard study estimates.&nbsp;

The error is common among younger workers who are used to their savings being automatically invested in company 401(k) plans. As a result, they run the risk of forsaking years of possible investment gains that compound over the years.
 IRAs have $14.3 trillion in assets, versus $11.1 trillion in 401(k)-type plans, according to the Investment Company Institute, the fund industry's trade association.
Price Action: 401(k) plan administrators trended upward as of Tuesday&#8217;s mid-afternoon trading. Automatic Data Processing, Inc. (NASDAQ ADP) edged up 0.12% to $248.28, while Fidelity Investments (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FFIDX#NASDAQ">FFIDX</a>) gained 1.54% to $91.05 and T.
