Sector Rotation ETF Portfolio - Q2 2016 Update
4/1/16 Update - View Our Latest Sector ETF Selection for Q2 2016 >>
We are pleased to introduce our new Sector Rotation ETF Portfolio!
The aim of the portfolio is to outperform the S&P 500 Index on an annual basis by investing in up to three of the leading sectors at the beginning of each quarter (January, April, July, and October).
In the first quarter of 2016, our sector-based strategy was invested in only one of the nine S&P 500 sectors and yet outperformed the Index by a wide margin.
(Q1 Returns: S&P 500 +0.77% vs. FTMDaily Sector Rotation strategy +5.07%).
This ETF strategy, inspired by Meb Faber‘s excellent research in the field of sector rotation, is updated once every quarter with up to three of the strongest sector ETFs.
By focusing your investments into the top performing sectors within the S&P 500, you are more likely to own more of the leaders and less of the laggards in the stock market. This, in turn, can boost your returns over time if the current uptrend continues in your selected sector(s).
We have personally been using this sector ETF rotation strategy for nearly two years and have been very pleased with the results. We share which sectors we are buying at the beginning of each quarter with our FTM Insiders and Platinum member community through this new service. Our next update will posted on July 1, 2016.
