TOPIC: Cyclical Growth

Investment Strategy Overview

The Cyclical Growth strategy seeks to capitalize on the natural ebb and flow of the economic cycle, investing in sectors and industries that perform well during specific phases of growth and contraction. This portfolio emphasizes sectors poised to benefit in the current economic phase while minimizing exposure to those likely to underperform, while helping balance sector concentrations created by the Secular Growth and Dividend Growth strategies.

The Cyclical Growth strategy has outperformed the S&P 500 over longer periods, demonstrating its ability to capture cyclical upside during expansions while playing defense in periods of economic weakness.

Key Highlights

Investment Approach: Tactically overweighting sectors poised for growth during economic expansion.

Risk: Moderate volatility, but high growth potential during economic recoveries.

Diversification: Exposure to cyclical industries such as consumer discretionary, energy, materials, and financials.
