The Island Light Sector rotation strategy was updated for March as part of our regular monthly rebalancing.
The strategy employs an advanced algorithm that seeks to capture market momentum in an optimized portfolio of US sectors, rebalanced monthly.
For this month, we increased our exposure to the US materials and utilities sectors, reduced allocations to financials and eliminated our investment in technology.
We have no investment in the consumer discretionary, consumer staples, energy, healthcare, and industrials sectors.
Relative to the S&P 500 sector weights, we are overweight to utilities and materials.
