How does a sector rotation manager choose securities?

A sector rotation manager uses a top-down approach by analyzing economic cycles, interest rates, inflation, industry trends, and market conditions to identify sectors expected to outperform. After selecting favourable sectors, the manager commonly chooses large, liquid companies within those sectors because they provide efficient exposure and can be bought or sold without excessive market impact. Option B describes a value or contrarian style that searches for undervalued companies. Option C describes an earnings momentum or growth-oriented approach. Option D describes technical analysis based on historical price patterns. Sector rotation is not primarily about finding hidden bargains or chart patterns; it is about shifting exposure toward sectors and securities expected to benefit from the next phase of the cycle.
