Understanding our market readings.

The meter above shows MSCM’s recent reading of US Equity Markets. The color summarizes our internal data-driven view of how the current equity markets are behaving with respect to trend and momentum, two prevalent market factors that we utilize in our tactical investing strategies.

What the colors mean.

🟢  Green (Engaged):  High equity exposure, positioned to participate in market upside
🟡  Yellow (Neutral):  Blended positioning, not fully exposed to US equity
🔴  Red (Defensive):  Low or no equity exposure, positioned to protect capital

Last status change.

Our trend strategy moved to being fully allocated to US equity after several weeks being defensive during the Nasdaq’s September pullback.

Our momentum strategy rotated into biotech, energy, and healthcare positions for the 4th quarter.

Investment process.

We run quantitative, rules-based, fully tactical strategies. Why?

It’s unemotional, ignores the news that drives noise in the markets, and instead focuses us solely and relentlessly on how the US stock market is actually behaving each day.
