3Q Rebalance - ETFG Dynamic Model Portfolios

Tuesday, July 6, 2021 - Since our last quarterly update, the U.S. economy seems to have hits its stride, aided by effective and widely available vaccines, business reopenings, supportive fiscal and monetary policies and unleashed pent-up consumer demand. Yet, the unusual nature of the COVID-19 pandemic has introduced several obstacles to a smooth recovery. As sudden and rapid as the pandemic-induced downturn was, the speed and magnitude of the subsequent economic recovery was perhaps as equally unexpected. Facing a novel virus whose transmissibility, evolution, and persistence were unknown, economic activity was abruptly shut down, business planning was muddied and expenditures retrenched. Limited by mandated business closures and capacity constraints and an overall nebulous economic outlook, supply was sharply reduced. In contrast, aggressive fiscal and monetary stimulus, along with a largely successful transition to remote work in non-service industries, helped prop up the economy and consumer savings and demand.

With advanced economies returning to strength and underdeveloped countries lagging behind, this supply-demand imbalance has begun to rear its ugly head in the form of higher inflation. Divergent vaccination rates and fiscal and monetary support between developed and underdeveloped countries are leading to an uneven global economic recovery. Given the globalized nature of today’s supply chains, this unevenness has compounded supply and demand imbalances. Supply is comparatively slower than demand in its ability to expand and contract and the added impediment of a still-spreading virus in developing countries will likely considerably slow the restoration of any balance. Aside from supply issues, inflation is also being driven higher by other factors such as labor shortages. While, base effects contribute to this inflation picture, supply chain disruptions will take time to heal and long-term inflation expectations could edge higher. This will be a key risk factor to monitor as we transition to a post-pandemic environment.

Starting with our domestic equity sleeve, IJK and IJJ retained the top two spots. The remaining two positions are rounded out by newcomers SYLG and DON. Our model continues to like size and value, two factors that traditionally benefit from the recovery phase of an economic cycle. While the growth-to-value rotation trend has broadly held steady in 2021, our model continues to recognize some attractive opportunities within the growth space. IJK and SLYG received high marks in the P/E, P/B, and P/CF scores in the fundamental component of our Quant reward model. Finally, the combination of its strong value characteristics and divided yield helped DON secure the final domestic equity slot. 

Our international allocation underwent a comprehensive change. All of our previous four positions were replaced by EWU, EWP, INTF, and FEUZ. These changes are underpinned by two key factors – 1) the economic reopening of developed economies and 2) orientation to the size and value factors. EWU, EWP, and FEUZ all offer exposure to European Union countries that have promising growth potential due to increasing vaccination rates and easing economic restrictions. INTF scored well with our model as a result of its developed-market orientation and robust size and value characteristics.

Lastly, high valuation scores drove FNI and EMIF to the top two spots in our Emerging Markets equity allocation.

Minor Moves

Monday, June 7, 2021 – With a holiday shortened week, the three major, U.S. equity indices managed minor gains last week. The DJIA was up 227 points (.7%) to 34,756, the S&P 500 gained 26 points (.6%) to 4,230 and the Nasdaq picked up 66 points (.5%) to close the week at 13,815.

With a quiet start to the week, the Energy sector lead the way as the price of oil rallied to its highest level since mid-October 2018. Sectors like technology, communication services, and consumer discretionary felt pressure as the market reacted to a weaker than expected Employment report for May. On the economic front, the G-7 neared an agreement on a 15% global minimum corporate tax as the Biden administration further negotiated an infrastructure spending package with Republicans.

Little Movement For The Week

Monday, May 24, 2021 – Growth and value stocks seemed to battle it out last week leaving the major U.S. equity indexes with mixed and minor overall movements. A deceleration in housing starts and existing home sales from April did little to move markets as investors appeared more focused on upcoming reports.

Perhaps the biggest headlines and market movements centered around the big sell off in cryptocurrency. The yield on the 10 Year Treasury remained steady decreasing just one basis point to 1.63% seemingly indicating a lack of concern around inflation.

For the week, the DJIA dropped 174.29 points to 34,207.84, the Nasdaq was the single gainer for the week picking up 41.01 points to 13,470.99 and the S&P 500 slipped 17.99 points to 4,155.86.

ETFG Quant Movers - Those ETFs who have had the largest weekly change in their ETFG Quant Total Scores

ETFG Weekly Quant Winners: The three biggest gainers in their ETFG Total Quant Scores were the iShares US Preferred Stock ETF (PFF) which gained 12.80 point to 53.75, the Principal Spectrum Preferred Securities Active ETF (PREF) which picked up 10.31 points to 42.60 and the ProShares Decline of the Retail Store ETF (EMTY) which added 9.40 to an Overall ETFG Quant Score of 52.72.

ETFG Weekly Quant Losers: The three biggest losers in their respective ETF Quant Total Scores were the ALPS Equal Sector Weight ETF (EQL) which lost 10.96 point to 39.44, the iShares Currency Hedged MSCI Japan ETF (HEWJ) which dropped 9.21 point to 32.55 and the iPath S&P MLP ETN (IMLP) which lost 7.85 point to an ETFG Quant Overall Score of 47.72.
