The Four Regimes and What Works in Each

  1. Hawk Era (Rising Growth + Falling Inflation)

    • Debt: Convertible Bonds and High-Yield Bonds perform well as the economic growth supports higher risk investments and falling inflation makes fixed income more attractive.

    • Industry: High Beta, Growth, Small Caps, Mid Caps, and Technology sectors thrive due to increased consumer and business spending.

    • Market Segment: Consumer Discretionary, Energy, Industrials, Materials, and Technology sectors benefit from robust economic activity and controlled inflation.

  2. Cheetah Era (Rising Growth + Rising Inflation)

    • Debt: Investment Grade Bonds are preferable as they offer stability in an environment of rising prices.

    • Industry: High Beta Consumer Discretionary sectors benefit from increased consumer spending despite higher prices.

    • Market Segment: Consumer Discretionary, Energy, Financials, Health Care, Industrials, and Technology sectors perform well due to overall economic growth, even with inflationary pressures.

  3. Viper Era (Falling Growth + Falling Inflation)

    • Debt: Long Term Bonds, Mid Term Bonds, and Municipal Bonds are favored as falling inflation makes fixed income more attractive, and economic slowdown reduces the appeal of riskier assets.

    • Industry: High-beta and Quality sectors are preferable as they offer better stability and potential for growth despite economic challenges.

    • Market Segment: Energy, Industrials, Materials, and Technology sectors, which can weather economic slowdowns better than others.

  4. Jellyfish Era (Falling Growth + Rising Inflation)

    • Debt: Municipal Bonds are favored due to their tax advantages and stability in uncertain economic times.

    • Industry: Low Beta, Dividend Yield, Small Caps, Mid Caps, Momentum, and Quality sectors are preferred as they offer resilience against economic downturns and inflation.

    • Market Segment: Consumer Discretionary, Health Care, Industrials, Materials, Utilities, and REITs (Real Estate Investment Trusts) perform better as they can pass on inflationary costs and provide essential services.
