It’s no secret that many of Elon Musk’s companies are interconnected. It’s also no secret that many of Musk’s companies rely to a substantial degree on government contracts (as is the case with SpaceX) or subsidies (as is the case with SolarCity and Tesla) to do well. Given those characteristics, it would stand to reason that Elon Musk and Tesla Motors Inc (NASDAQ:TSLA) would do better under a Clinton Presidency than a Trump Presidency. Seeing as Clinton is a bigger fan of the environment and Elon Musk’s companies are to a large degree geared towards saving the environment, Tesla would likely grow faster under Clinton. At the end of June, there were 36 funds in our database that held shares of Tesla Motors Inc (NASDAQ:TSLA), down by three funds from the previous quarter.

#2 UnitedHealth Group Inc (NYSE:UNH)

– Number of Hedge Fund Holders (as of June 30): 55
– Total Value of Hedge Fund Holdings (as of June 30): $3.15 billion
– Hedge Fund Holdings as Percent of Float (as of June 30): 2.30%

Although Donald Trump has said that no one will die on the streets if he is President, most analysts still view Hillary as the more pro-healthcare candidate. Not only will more people likely be covered, but also more government money will likely be spent on healthcare overall. Given that view, many investors believe that diversified managed healthcare giant UnitedHealth Group Inc (NYSE:UNH) would do better under a Clinton Presidency than a Trump one. A total of 55 investors tracked by Insider Monkey had a bullish position in UnitedHealth Group Inc (NYSE:UNH) at the end of June, up by five funds from the previous quarter.

#1 Humana Inc (NYSE:HUM)

– Number of Hedge Fund Holders (as of June 30): 64
– Total Value of Hedge Fund Holdings (as of June 30): $5.82 billion
– Hedge Fund Holdings as Percent of Float (as of June 30): 21.70%

As was the case for UnitedHealth, Humana Inc (NYSE:HUM) will likely benefit if Hillary becomes President. Although the stock has been range-bound since the beginning of 2015, shares of Humana have done very well since Obama became President in 2009, and the same could occur if the Democrats remain in office. If more people and indications are covered, Humana should realize more in revenues and cash flow. In terms of hedge fund sentiment, the smart money has mostly kept its position in the insurer stable. There were 64 funds from our database long Humana Inc (NYSE:HUM) at the end of June, unchanged from the previous quarter.
