Sector Rotation Strategy (SRS)
Strategy Overview
The Milwaukee Company’s Sector Rotation Strategy (SRS) seeks to generate attractive risk-adjusted returns by investing in equity ETFs that target various market sectors. More specifically, SRS targets sectors with positive momentum by increasing allocations to sectors that have outperformed over the prior six months, while also targeting sectors that represent good value by investing in sectors that have underperformed over the prior two years yet still possess strong fundamentals.
SRS also rotates between equities and bonds based on the degree of near-term stock market risk, as estimated by the Milwaukee Company Risk Index (MCRI). When MCRI forecasts a low degree of market risk, SRS will invest entirely in equity sector ETFs. When MCRI forecasts a high degree of market risk, SRS will invest exclusively in bonds.
