What is 'sector rotation' as an investment strategy and what are its risks?

0% of students got this wrong

EXPLANATION

Sector rotation involves shifting portfolio weights between sectors based on where we are in the economic cycle — e.g., overweighting cyclicals in recovery and defensives in contraction. While theoretically sound, timing sector rotations correctly is extremely difficult. Mistimed rotations can lead to significant underperformance versus staying broadly diversified.
