Portfolio information

Research

Our research begins with all publicly traded companies listed on the NYSE, Nasdaq, and AMEX. We then identify sectors that in our view may stand to benefit from the economic phase we believe we are currently in or evolving into. We then screen the stocks within the identified sectors using fundamental and technical analysis. We conclude by cross checking our internal research with other well-respected analyst recommendations before we make our final selections.

Approach

Split Rock Private Trading & Wealth Management strategically manages its Equity Rotation SMA by continually monitoring which phase of the economic cycle we are currently in. Economic cycles are divided into 4 separate phases: early cycle, mid cycle, late cycle, and recession. Based on which cycle we deem the economy to be in, we make judgments about whether some sectors may stand to benefit over others. For example, in a recessionary phase, defensive stocks such as consumer staples tend to outperform the wider market. Even during periods of high unemployment and economic recession, people still need consumer staple companies to provide them with food, beverages, toilet paper, soap, etc. Inversely, in an early cycle recovery, consumer discretionary stocks tend to outperform. For example, as unemployment falls, more people have money to spend on discretionary items such as new TVs, cars, etc.

Our strategy is driven primarily by fundamental analysis. We tend to favor companies with consistent growth and stability of earnings and dividends, limited debt, low P/E multiples relative to peers, and strong cash flows. We supplement our research with technical analysis, focusing on moving averages and support levels, as well as identifying current and potential industry trends.

Sell discipline

Our sell discipline is based on many factors including but not limited to:

1. Strategic and tactical adjustments as discussed earlier.

2. Using trailing limit orders to help protect gains or minimize losses.

3. Ongoing fundamental and technical analysis.
