STRATEGIC BETA: SECTORS

The Standard & Poor’s 500 is composed of eleven different sectors, or types of companies. Sector examples include financials, materials, technology, energy and healthcare. Opportunities to capitalize on economic conditions, trading trends, and price patterns may arise as sectors respond to various stimuli and returns vary.

Our DRM Sectors strategy employs an optimized series of fundamental and technical indicators to identify and overweight favorably-positioned sectors and underweight those considered less favorable.

  • Fundamental indicators reflect current economic conditions impacting each sector
  • Technical indicators identify trading trends and price patterns

The table below illustrates indicators we might consider for two very different sectors: Health Care and Energy.
