Market/Sector Rotation
We know that depending on where we are in a particular business cycle, areas or sectors of the economy will perform differently. At times, growth oriented companies may perform better than value oriented companies and vice versa. Although there is not a proven way to predict how sectors will react, having a diversified investment strategy is key to pursuing your long term financial planning goals. Winners are not always at the top and losers are not always at the bottom, but rather a constantly shifting dynamic that is always changing. The below chart looks at the past five decades and illustrates the shift depending on what the overall economic picture was and the prominent beliefs that drove it. Time will tell how the markets, the different areas of the economy and the companies that operate in it will tackle the 2020s.
