Sector Rotation

Different sectors are stronger at different points in the economic cycle. The graph above shows these relationships and the order in which the various sectors should get a boost from the economy. The Market Cycle preceeds the Economic Cycle because investors try to anticipate economic effects. (Sam Stovall)


Sector rotation is an investment strategy involving the movement of money from one industry sector to another in an attempt to beat the market. It sprouted as a theory from NBER (National Bureau of Economic Research) data on economic cycles, dating back to 1854. It’s thanks to this cadre of government and academic economists that we know the start, end and duration of each business cycle.
