Titelbeschreibung

Using Asset Allocation to Reduce Risk and Boost Investing Returns Presenting a revolutionary new investment philosophy that redefines how we view sector investing, The Sector Strategist challenges long held ideas about how this unique area of finance operates. Misconceptions, such as the belief that international stocks provide diversification, are preventing investors from making the most of the opportunities for financial growth that sectors provide, and the book presents practical, applicable evidence that a better, more profitable option is available. Additionally, the book hopes to give readers an opportunity to improve returns and protect retirement assets by providing a wide range of techniques and tools designed to optimize wealth that the author has developed over the last decade. <ul> <li>Designed to help investors avoid the often inaccurate assumptions made by "experts" which promote typical asset allocation</li> <li>Written by Timothy McIntosh, investment expert and founder of SIPCO/Strategic Investment Partners, whose firm's stock portfolio has earned five-star returns from Morningstar annually since 2003</li> <li>Contains easy-to-apply tools for wealth protection and growth that have been proven successful during the market fluctuations of 2002 and 2008</li> </ul> The history and opportunities afforded by sectors have been written about at length, but no book has broken with tradition so radically, and with such success, as The Sector Strategist.

Back cover copy

Investing in stocks and bonds can yield rewarding returns, but only if you have the time to ride out the ups and downs. Most people don't. In The Sector Strategist: Using New Asset Allocation Techniques to Reduce Risk and Improve Investment Returns Timothy McIntosh presents a revolutionary new investment philosophy that redefines sector investing to guide you to consistently above-average results. Marking a radical break from tradition, this book challenges inaccurate investment assumptions—like the belief that international stocks provide diversification—that many finance "experts" follow blindly. Teaching you the basic tools you need to perform fundamental analysis on any prospective sector investment, the book explores the history of the stock and bond markets over the last century, outlining which sectors are the least volatile and have performed most strongly over the years. Highlighting five sectors—healthcare, energy, consumer staples, technology, and finance—that McIntosh sees as most promising, the book looks at the future prospects, major players, and real investments made in each to give you a clear view of the opportunities they present. A truly expansive resource, the book also looks at alternative investment opportunities—including REITs and gold—and much more, all backed up by model portfolios that illustrate the profits to be made using this unorthodox new methodology. If you want to be sure that your money will survive and thrive in the years ahead, it's time to break with outdated investing concepts. Bringing together decades of research and theory to produce one unique new investment strategy, The Sector Strategist synthesizes a multitude of economic and market scenarios to produce a winning model, giving you everything you need to improve your returns and protect your assets.
