  • Allowing the Investment Team to select the scenario ‘gear’ of each sector we invest in as either ‘Defensive’ or ‘Neutral’.
  • Instead of waiting for bad data to show up, we can adjust our search based on new information or potential risks.
  • This system uses momentum (how a sector has been performing) as a key factor.
  • We track a sector's performance over 3, 6, and 12 months to get a complete picture.
