John Moolenaar of Michigan, had for months refused to file a federally-mandated personal financial disclosure."That's none of the federal government's business," Norton told Insider for <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/tom-norton-john-moolenaar-congress-michigan-primary-2022-2">an article published Thursday</a> detailing his decision's potential civil and criminal ramifications. Now, Norton has changed his tune. Completely. "We're paying it, filing the financial disclosure, even though I still think it's none of the federal government's business," Norton said <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FZqyUpnTYiM">in a five-minute video</a> posted to his campaign's YouTube account, in which he discussed in detail his turbulent financial history."This is getting filed because … and I am paying the $200 fine, so that way the liberals will stop crying," Norton said.In response to an Insider text message asking about his change of mind regarding the disclosure, Norton said he "thought it was a rule not a law." "When your budget is 17,000 pages, it's impossible to know every law on the books," Norton said. A campaign spokesperson for Moolenar did not immediately return an Insider request for comment. In his video, Norton offered numerous details about his personal finances he says will appear in his official financial disclosure.He described himself as a "self-employed contractor" who earned $257,713 during the first year of his congressional campaign and $222,696 the second. Norton said he owned rental property with an assessed worth of $100,000 to $120,000 that is "completely paid off."He also noted he maintained an E-Trade account "with some dividend <keyword id="11893878" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="60" keywordseo="stocks" source="Orion">stocks</keyword> — it's not huge" and that he owns "some cryptocurrency."In his early 20s, after he "got in trouble with some credit cards" and lost his job and apartment, Norton said he reformed his financial ways and has since bought a house. "I'm the Dave Ramsey candidate," he said, referring to the financial author and radio host who preaches against debt. "I actually do pay my bills. When I talk about financial responsibility, I do it. I have gotten behind in the past, and I paid 'em … I took care of myself." Norton acknowledged he has "a DUI from a few years ago" and that he's previously "gotten in trouble with the law" and paid fines. He didn't elaborate on the nature of the legal trouble or fines.Norton also criticized the financial habits of President Joe Biden, Moolenaar, and politicians who use so-called "leadership political action committees," which have come <a href="https://issueone.org/articles/leadership-pacs-inc-how-washington-power-players-use-leadership-pac-contributions-to-buy-access-and-influence/">under</a> <a href="https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/lawmakers-leadership-pacs-spend-fundraising-political-contributions-report/story?id=80316227">fire</a> by government reform groups as lightly regulated slush funds for members of <keyword id="11893699" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="60" keywordseo="congress" source="Orion">Congress</keyword>.<h2><div type="image" title="Rep.

The standard, US House-issued fine for a <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/congress-stock-act-violations-penalties-consequences-2021-12">late personal financial disclosure</a> filing is $200, payable to the US Treasury. But a candidate who "knowingly and willfully falsifies a statement or fails to file a statement" may be subject to investigation by the Department of Justice. While such investigations are rare, the maximum civil penalty for such an offense is <a href="https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2022-01-18/pdf/2022-00795.pdf">$66,190</a>, while the maximum <a href="https://ethics.house.gov/sites/ethics.house.gov/files/documents/CY%202020%20Instruction%20Guide%20for%20Financial%20Disclosure%20Statements%20and%20PTRs.pdf">criminal penalty</a> is one year in federal prison plus a fine of up to the same amount, according to the federal Ethics in Government Act. Separately, federal law, as <a href="https://ethics.house.gov/sites/ethics.house.gov/files/documents/CY%202020%20Instruction%20Guide%20for%20Financial%20Disclosure%20Statements%20and%20PTRs.pdf">amended</a> by the False Statements Accountability Act of 1996, "provides for a fine of up to $250,000 and/or imprisonment for up to five years for knowingly and willfully making any materially false, fictitious, or fraudulent statement or representation, or falsifying, concealing, or covering up a material fact" in a filing covered by the Ethics in Government Act.A congressional candidate who refuses to file a personal financial disclosure "would find themselves in violation of the Ethics In Government Act," Jordan Libowitz, communications director for nonpartisan government watchdog group Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington, told Insider last week.While the federal government could conceivably pursue criminal penalties against a candidate for not filing, "it is much more likely that the DOJ could, and should, pursue civil penalties," Libowitz said. Norton's refusal to publicly reveal his personal finances follows the publication of Insider's "<a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/conflicted-congress-key-findings-stock-act-finances-investing-2021-12">Conflicted Congress</a>" project, which found that <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/congress-stock-act-violations-senate-house-trading-2021-9">57 members of Congress</a> and at least <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/congress-staff-violated-stock-act-conflicts-of-interest-possible-2021-12">182 senior congressional aides</a> have in recent months violated the federal Stop Trading on Congressional Knowledge Act of 2012 with late or missing financial disclosures. As of Saturday night, Norton's financial disclosure did not yet appear within the Clerk of the US House of Representatives document database.

Pro-Trump congressional candidate Tom Norton refused to disclose his personal finances in violation of federal law. After Insider wrote about it, he revealed everything in a YouTube video.

The firm remains overweight Indian equities.<h3>"China tech regulatory risk appears to be clearing."</h3>China has a near 40% weighting in emerging market equities, making it one of the most important regions for investors.UBS believes Chinese tech companies have surpassed recent government regulation hurdles and are poised to post "above-average, double-digit earnings growth" over the medium to long term as investors focus more on fundamentals."We see tech regulatory risks receding, with policymakers aiming to constrain monopolistic practices, not curb tech growth," Haefele said.<h3>"A stronger dollar, higher Treasuries won't upend EM risk assets."</h3>Emerging market equities usually struggle when the dollar is strong, but according to Haefele and UBS, the dollar is set to continue on a depreciation trend as the global economic recovery favors "pro-risk" currencies like the Euro.Haefele also believes the fed will maintain dovish policies and Treasury yields won't rise above 2% this year, which should help stocks around the world outperform.Haefele advised positioning for reopening and reflation through value and cyclical stocks in Asia, with a focus on capital goods, construction materials, consumer services, transportation, banks, and metals &amp; mining."EM value stocks have traded at a heavy discount over the past decade, leaving room for a recovery rally," Haefele said.

Everything from the upcoming US elections, to heightened tensions between the US and China, to increasing lockdowns in Europe due to rising COVID-19 cases could hurt stocks in the short term.But in the long term, investors should position their portfolios to benefit from a rising stock market, UBS said."A stimulus deal will be struck eventually, central banks will continue to stay supportive, and medical developments still have scope to surprise," said UBS.

UK EquitiesA rebound in earnings in 2021 could help boost UK equities, according to UBS, which are set to benefit from a global economic recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic and a rise in oil prices. On top of that, UBS sees a Brexit deal more likely than not, which would help UK stocks."The UK market is one of the cheapest developed markets in our universe, and it is <keyword id="6368158" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="60" keywordseo="trading">trading</keyword> at a 30% discount to the MSCI AC World index, compared with a 10-year average of 10%. The UK sector exposure is skewed toward defensives and healthcare, both of which we see as more resilient," UBS concluded.4. Global Consumer BrandsA combination of easy monetary policy and fiscal stimulus should support consumer spending post-pandemic, UBS said, noting that income aid from governments isn't being spent on travel and leisure, but instead on durable goods."We see global consumer brands as the main beneficiaries of an improving consumer environment, resulting in better earnings growth at reasonable valuations," UBS explained."So we recommend investors stay in the market, position for the upside in equities, and use volatility to build long term positions," UBS concluded.

US stocks have outperformed the world since 2011, so this isn't a new trend. But the rate is accelerating amid a wide divergence from other countries, particularly in emerging markets.

For example, a portfolio with moderate risk and about half of its allocation in equities could place 7% of the non-US-stocks component in emerging markets, Mukherjee said. While the specific allocation vary by an individual investor's risk tolerance, Mukherjee and his team recommend "every individual" own a bit of EM for long-term growth. Nobody likes EM anymore, so that's typically a contrarian indicator for EMs to bounce back."The US is in its <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/stock-bull-market-longest-on-record-4-main-reasons-for-longevity-2018-8">longest bull stretch on record</a>, and has run up equity valuations to eye-popping levels, notably in areas like technology. Various emerging markets, on the other hand, are trading at "reasonable" and cheap valuations, which make them more attractive from a long-term perspective, Mukherjee said. This by no means implies ditching US stocks. "Even though the valuation argument is less in the favor of the US, the fundamentals are just too good," Mukherjee said. From corporate-earnings growth to the <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/us-gdp-q2-2018-second-estimate-2018-8">strongest quarter for the economy</a> in nearly four years, investors have found few reasons to tank the US stock market for now. However, Merrill Lynch shifted its rating on international developed markets from overweight to neutral earlier this year, recognizing the cheaper opportunities that abound elsewhere. India is their favorite corner of EM long-term - a "secular overweight" according to Mukherjee. Its <a href="https://markets.businessinsider.com/news/stocks/indias-economic-growth-hits-82-fastest-in-2-years-2018-8-1027500516">economy grew 8.2% in the second quarter</a>, the fastest among G20 countries, and Merrill Lynch expects that India can grow at 7%+ rates for the foreseeable future, Mukherjee said. More than half of Indians are under 25, and this younger population creates a "huge demographic dividend" that is paying up, he said. Merrill Lynch is also bullish on China over the long-term, particularly its internet, consumer, and healthcare stocks. <div class="margin-top"> <h3>NOW WATCH: <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/how-tick-bite-can-make-you-allergic-red-meat-2018-8">One bite from this tick could ruin red meat for the rest of your life</a></h3> <div> </div> </div>
