Sector Rotation Model
Target the world’s strongest market sectors with a dynamic ETF strategy
The Sector Rotation Model (SRM) is designed for investors who want to capture the power of global equity trends while keeping risk under control.
It dynamically reallocates among 10 global equity sectors, investing only in those showing the strongest performance at any given time.
This disciplined, data-driven approach helps you stay invested where momentum is strongest , and reduce exposure when markets turn uncertain.
1️⃣ Concept: follow global sector leadership
Financial markets move in cycles.
At different points in the cycle, some sectors outperform (like Technology or Industrials), while others lag (like Utilities or Real Estate).
The SRM identifies these cycles by analyzing each sector’s recent strength and relative momentum versus the rest of the market.
Every month, it rebalances toward the top-performing sectors and away from the weakest , ensuring your capital stays aligned with the prevailing trends.
Goal: ride the market’s strongest waves, while avoiding underperforming areas.
2️⃣ How it works
The SRM universe includes 10 of major GICS global sectors, each represented by a broad ETF:
Sector
Energy : World Energy ETF
Materials : World Materials ETF
Industrials : World Industrials ETF
Consumer Discretionary : World Consumer Discretionary ETF
Consumer Staples : World Consumer Staples ETF
Health Care : World Health Care ETF
Financials : World Financials ETF
Information Technology : World Information Technology ETF
Communication Services : World Telecom ETF
Utilities : World Utilities ETF
Each month, the model ranks these ETFs based on their performance and momentum.
It then invests in the top 1–2 sectors, adjusting allocations as trends evolve.
When overall market signals turn negative, the model can shift to money market ETFs or cash to preserve capital.
3️⃣ Why it works
The SRM leverages one of the most consistent forces in financial markets , sector rotation.
Throughout history, leadership among sectors has rotated as economic conditions changed.
Technology and Consumer sectors often lead during expansions, while Utilities and Health Care tend to hold up in slowdowns.
By systematically following these shifts, the SRM aims to:
✅ Capture upside potential early in emerging trends.
✅ Avoid lagging sectors before losses deepen.
✅ Deliver a smoother long-term performance curve.

• Defensive : can move to cash or money markets in downturns.
• Evidence-based : founded on robust academic and empirical research.
6️⃣ For whom is SRM ideal?
The SRM is best suited for investors who:
• Seek a more dynamic strategy with potential for higher returns.
• Understand short-term fluctuations but focus on medium-to-long-term growth.
• Want to diversify beyond traditional regional allocations.
If you prefer a more stable, low-maintenance approach, consider the Asset Allocation Model (AAM).
Many investors combine both models for broader diversification and risk balance.
