There is a change to the iShares Tactical Model (ISHRTACTICAL) this week: sell the iShares S&P GSCI Commodity-Indexed Trust (GSG) and buy the iShares North American Tech-Software ETF (IGV). GSG 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 IGV as it was the highest-ranking fund in the matrix that was not already a model holding.
IGV currently has a 2.91 fund score but shows a strongly positive 2.73 fund score direction. Year-to-date (through 6/17) IGV is down -15.64%. In addition to IGV, the model also has exposure to the S&P 500, semiconductors, aerospace & defense, US broker dealers & securities exchanges, digital infrastructure & real estate, industrials, and US oil equipment & services. Year-to-date (through 6/17) ISHRTACTICAL has gained 15.49%, outpacing the S&P 500 (SPX) by a little over 7%.
