US Equity Sector Plus featuring AlphaDEX is a tactical portfolio that has successfully sold smart Beta stock ETFs and invested in Treasury ETFs staggered along the yield curve. Specifically, this portfolio was invested in Treasury ETFs between August 2015 and July 2016, so it profited from falling Treasury yields and the surprising Brexit vote. Interestingly, US Equity Sector Plus featuring AlphaDEX also sold smart Beta stock ETFs and invested in Treasury ETFs in October 2018.
Portfolio manager, Michael Garaventa, said, “Our investment in Treasury ETFs continues to benefit from Treasury yields meandering lower from slowing global growth, a strong U.S. dollar, and international capital flowing into Treasury securities. Brexit on March 29, 2019 may cause an additional spike down in Treasury yields that may benefit the portfolio and allow us to sell our Treasury ETFs at a nice profit. Typically, when US Equity Sector Plus featuring AlphaDEX is not invested in Treasury ETFs, most of the time this portfolio is invested in the top six industry sector ETFs. Due to a decelerating earnings environment that is partially caused by a strong U.S. dollar hindering multinational stocks, the First Trust AlphaDEX ETFs are expected to continue to outperform capitalization weighted ETFs for the foreseeable future.”
