Unpacking the All-Equity Course
The newly launched
SBI Wrap All-Equity Course will see
FOLIO manage investments grounded on advisement from
Sumitomo Mitsui DS Asset Management. What sets this course apart is its total allocation towards equities, employing three distinctive investment strategies designed to dynamically adjust asset distribution for achieving enhanced performance beyond current market offerings.
1. US Equity Sector Strategy
This strategy focuses on sectors within the S&P 500, filtering for the highest potential returns based on the
Global Industry Classification Standard (GICS). Emphasizing qualitative and quantitative analysis, it leverages data to select attractive sectors that outperform during varying economic cycles. For example, it targets tech during expansions while favoring defensive sectors like utilities and healthcare in downturns.
2. US Equity Factor Strategy
This approach assesses market conditions to choose effective factors for investment. Identifying opportunities across various categories such as small value, growth, momentum, and quality, the strategy integrates seasoned team expertise with robust data analytics. The aim is to continuously adapt to economic shifts, ensuring maximum payoff in fluctuating markets.
3. Global Equity (Excluding US) Strategy
Focusing on world equity markets outside the United States, this strategy aims to exceed the returns of the
MSCI All-Country World Index (excluding the US). By balancing thorough quantitative evaluation with qualitative insights on different regions, it adjusts the asset distribution flexibly, based on economic indicators and market trends. Current allocations suggest a regional emphasis, notably with
40% in Europe,
14% in Japan, and
27% in emerging markets as of September 2025.
