Sector/Style Factor Relative Strength Analysis

A key part of our technical process is tracking momentum across style factors and sectors on multiple timeframes. Our goal is to follow the flow of capital and spot trend changes early

Style Factor YTD Performance

  • Momentum & Quality style factors leading in 2025 👇

YTD Sector Performance

  • KWEB China tech is now the leading YTD group! Our thesis has been that China tech will outperform US tech in 2025, and it is playing out before our very eyes

  • I’d imagine that most investors around the world are STILL underweight China/international stocks compared to US assets. This theme could have legs for some time to come. TBD 👇

QTD Sector Performance

  • Identical to YTD given we are in Q1 👇

1-Month Sector Performance

  • The cat is out of the bag on KWEB. ARKK innovation stocks are getting less attention, but are also outperforming 👇

1-Week Sector Performance

  • XLK megacap tech put up a strong week. Keep in mind, NVDA earnings are coming 2/26 👇
