There is a change to the iShares Tactical Model (ISHRTACTICAL) this week: sell the iShares COMEX Gold Trust (IAU) and buy the iShares US Digital Infrastructure and Real Estate ETF (IDGT). IAU was sold because its rank in the model’s relative strength matrix fell below the threshold to remain a holding in the portfolio. In its place, the model added IDGT as it was the highest-ranking fund in the matrix that was not already a holding in the model. IDGT currently has a near-perfect 5.81 fund score, which is 1.57 points better than the average for all technology and communications funds, and a positive 2.46 score direction. After briefly falling to a sell signal, IDGT returned to a buy signal in early April and continued higher, hitting a fresh all-time high in this week’s trading. Year-to-date (through 5/6) IDGT has gained 45.69% on a price return basis.
In addition to IDGT, ISHRTACTICAL also has exposure to the S&P 500, commodities, semiconductors, aerospace & defense, US broker dealers & securities exchanges, industrials, and oil equipment & services. Year-to-date, ISHRTACTICAL has gained 13.57% while the S&P 500 (SPX) is up 7.59%.
