Description
We will teach you in-depth a stock investing strategy known as Sector Rotation, from concept to implementation, whose principles are used among hedge fund professionals. While stock sectors generally tread in the same direction as the broader stock market, their individual performance can differ.
We will see in this course how to select the right sectors using ETFs to improve investment performance. Then we will learn how to incorporate a natural hedge into the system to make it more resilient against stock market shocks and downturns. The result is a robust portfolio that is much lower in risk, yet yielding comparable or even higher returns than the broad stock market.
* The strategy taught in this course is applied to the US market.
