Making sound decisions and sticking with them over the long haul is the cornerstone of investment success. The mission of SFS MarketPoint® is to deliver weekly insights into the economic landscape and spotlight emerging opportunities for investors. Our proprietary system identifies sector and asset class rotations within the markets.
The flood of investment advice out there is largely homogeneous, plagued by issues of timeliness, oversimplification, sensationalism, and herd mentality. Traditional media often fails to convey the nuanced reality that sometimes bad news is good, and good news is bad.
Markets operate like voting machines. Investors need to seek understanding and rely on dependable tools to predict their next move. SFS MarketPoint® offers unique guidance for informed decision-making, encompassing economic insights, risk management, predictive analytics, and a long-term outlook.
1. Investor Themes and Concerns:
Example: When inflation is the main worry, good news can be perceived as bad because it suggests the Fed might tighten and interest rates could rise. Conversely, when recession fears dominate, good news is genuinely good.
2. Active Investor Positioning:
When nearly everyone who wants to sell has already sold, what direction do you think the market will take next?
3. Liquidity Dynamics:
Liquidity is a blend of confidence and financial support from governments, central banks, and commercial banks.
SFS MarketPoint® aims to provide greater consistency over time by focusing on tools that quantify themes, positioning, and liquidity—highlighting when momentum is building or overextended by historical standards. These tools offer calculable probabilities and historical outcomes.
Whether managing others' money or your own, success hinges on having a disciplined structure. SFS MarketPoint® will guide you in creating and managing a framework over time. This framework is designed for long-term success and will be based on the idea that investors will always want to be invested. The specific advice will help curb impulsive decisions driven by market noise and emotions, ensuring your portfolio remains aligned with your goals while adapting to new opportunities.
