Strategy Description
The economy operates in cycles, and at any given time, some sectors of the market may be up while others may be down. By investing in the best performing sectors and avoiding the worst, investors can maximize growth during positive market environments.
The model examines over 20 different sector-specific SPDRs and iShares and then selects the top three ranked ETFs for the model. This model uses our downside risk protector© to move into cash and short-term investments to protect the portfolio during down markets.
Definitions
Sharpe Ratio – the average return earned in excess of the risk-free rate. A higher Sharpe Ratio is better
Risk-Free Rate – represents the interest an investor would expect from an absolutely risk-free investment over a specified period of time.
Sortino Ratio – another measure of risk that takes into account the downside deviation of the asset. A higher Sortino Ratio is better.
What is drawdown?
Drawdown is the measure from the highest high to the lowest low or peak to trough during a specific time period. It is an important measurement of risk. A larger drawdown requires a more significant increase in the security to recover.
