Alpha Cycle US Strategy
Own the sectors the cycle rewards. Step aside when it turns.
Sector leadership in US equities shifts with the economic cycle. Alpha Cycle US reads where the economy stands each month and holds only the sectors that have historically led in that phase — and moves to Treasury bills when the cycle turns against equities. Two questions set the regime: is US growth accelerating or slowing, and is inflation rising or falling? The answer maps to Recovery, Expansion, Easing, or Squeeze, each with a fixed sector basket and cash weight. The process is rules-based, rebalanced monthly, and uses listed ETFs plus T-bills — no leverage or derivatives.
Decoding our algorithms
- Read the economy
Leading indicators gauge growth; actual consumer prices gauge inflation.
- Judge the direction
Each signal is scored against its own history, with a buffer to avoid whipsaw.
- Set the portfolio
Each regime maps to a fixed sector basket and cash weight. No overrides.
- Rebalance monthly
Only data already published is used. Regime changes are infrequent.
Criteria for selection
- Recovery — mostly invested
Growth picks up as inflation cools. Holds cyclical leaders — financials, consumer, industrials — plus cash.
- Expansion — fully invested
Strong demand pushes prices higher. Holds growth and cyclical leaders, with an energy sleeve.
- Easing — mostly invested
Growth slows as inflation and rates ease. Holds long-duration growth — technology, software, housing — plus cash.
- Squeeze — in cash
Growth slows; inflation stays high. Moves entirely to short-term Treasury bills to protect capital.

DISCLAIMER
This presentation has been prepared by the Second Street Partners fund for “Sophisticated investors” (as defined under Mauritius Securities Law). Sophisticated investors are assumed to be better informed and better able to access resources to protect their own interests, and therefore require less regulatory protection.

A “sophisticated investor” includes governmental, statutory corporations, and state-owned companies in Mauritius, government and governmental agencies of any foreign country, banks, insurance companies, fund managers, investment managers, investment advisers, and dealers. You should consult a professional adviser if you do not understand any consequences of being treated as a sophisticated investor.
