[Download] Stock Sector Investing Via Quantitative Modeling In Excel

Do you think professional methods of investing are beyond your reach because it involves the state of the art infrastructure, rocket science, and a huge amount of money?

Have you tried replicating someone else’s trading style and method only to end up with drastically different or inconsistent results?

Do you find it difficult to implement investment strategies that you learned because (a) you have no confidence about it, (b) you still don’t know how to execute it, and/or (c) you have no time?

THIS COURSE WILL CHANGE YOUR PERCEPTION ABOUT THE APPROACH TO INVESTING.

We will teach you in-depth a stock investing strategy known as Sector Rotation, from concept to implementation, whose principles are used among hedge fund professionals. While stock sectors generally tread in the same direction as the broader stock market, their individual performance can differ. We will see in this course how to select the right sectors using ETFs to improve investment performance. Then we will learn how to incorporate a natural hedge into the system to make it more resilient against stock market shocks and downturns. The end result is a robust portfolio that is much lower in risk, yet yielding comparable or even higher returns than the broad stock market.

Sector Rotation is a powerful quantitative strategy that is grounded in well-established theory and common sense. There are no chart reading, no thick annual reports, no constant monitoring of market news, and no forecasting.

All investment decisions are driven by the model we will build in this course. The completed model requires less than 5 minutes of your time to update. With a good understanding of the strategy through hands-on learning, this will keep your discipline in check and prevent you from falling prey to emotions during times of market stress. The end result is consistency.

We will build the model up in Excel using inbuilt Excel functions. No programming experience is required. Neither do we need expensive tools or data subscriptions. We will use only free resources.
