Elev8 Model Portfolio Weightings
The Elev8 Sector Rotation Model seeks to outperform the S&P 500 using an 8 Sector allocation framework to differentiate from the benchmark while ensuring a well-diversified equity portfolio. The model selects 8 of the 11 S&P 500 GICS Sectors to allocate to each month and 3 it will avoid. It uses the Cap. from the 3 short or “zero” allocations to create active weight long positions in the 8 selected sectors.
The Elev8 Sector Rotation Model generates its position sizes using a multi-factor, trend-following process that encompasses security level and macro level inputs. It seeks to align with the strongest long-term trends in the US equity market while providing a discretionary framework for tactical allocations to take advantage of near-term opportunities or to facilitate appropriate hedging.
