Explain

Relative strength is a technical analysis method that calculates the strongest performers, compared to the overall market.

Relative Strength Ranking

First, we determine the price momentum for each sector fund using the Rate of Change (RoC) indicator. RoC measures the total return of each fund over a period of time. Since our focus is to capture seasonal changes of the equity market, we use the three-month total return for this calculation.

Next, we compare the momentum of the sector funds to the benchmark S&P 500 index fund to identify outperforming and underperforming investments.

Changing Market Conditions

Our sector rotation strategy aims at investing in the fastest growing industry groups during a given stage of the market cycle. However, shifts in sentiment can occur rapidly, often due to economic and geopolitical events, or industry specific catalysts.

The changing market conditions make it important to keep an eye on the daily changes of both the relative strength and the long-term trends of all sectors in order to generate new investment ideas and to avoid risks.

What to look for? Examples of new investment opportunities include outperformers that turn from bearish to bullish, or bullish funds that become outperformers. When the equity market turns negative, we also keep track of sector funds that become underperformers and bullish sectors that suddenly start a correction.
