At the beginning of each quarter, we rank each of the eleven sectors from best to worst with our Sector Ratings Report. These rankings are forward looking and are indicative of how each sector should perform going forward.

This analysis is available to our Platinum-level and higher members and enables investors to make better portfolio allocation decisions by identifying which funds to avoid and which funds to buy. More reliable & proprietary fundamental data, as shown in The Journal of Financial Economics, and shown to provide a new source of alpha, drives our research. Our Robo-Analyst technology[1] empowers our unique ETF and mutual fund rating methodology, which leverages our rigorous analysis of each fund’s holdings.[2]

Some of the best funds include FXZ, FDLSX, TDIV, and FIQRX. Some of the worst funds include JPRE, FCLAX, IDNA, and RYUTX.
