Day Hagan/Ned Davis Research Smart Sector® with Catastrophic Stop strategy, model and allocations update.
BY BRIAN SANBORN

The Day Hagan/Ned Davis Research Smart Sector® with Catastrophic Stop strategy entered this month recommending a fully invested position. The NDR Catastrophic Stop model is based on the combination of two proprietary composites: 1) the Internal Composite (technical and price-related indicators) and 2) the External Composite (fundamental, economic, interest rate, and behavioral/sentiment indicators). Each composite is one-half of the overall score.

The sector model had some rotation this past month. Entering February, Financials, Health Care, Industrials, Consumer Discretionary, and Utilities are above benchmark weight. Energy improved to benchmark weight. Information Technology, Communication Services, Real Estate, Materials, and Consumer Staples are below benchmark weight.
