Item Open Access Gauging the effectiveness of sector rotation strategies: evidence from the USA and Europe(Palgrave Macmillan, 2020-04-19) Alexiou, Constantinos; Tyagi, AnshulThis paper examines the performance of different sector rotation strategies for the US and European market spanning the period 1999–2019. By utilising three different strategies, we shed further light on the effectiveness of interest rate, momentum and Fama–French three- and five-factor alphas as switching signals to enter and exit a particular sector. The emerging evidence suggests that within the European market, sector rotation strategies tend to produce returns above the average benchmark, both during contractionary and expansionary monetary policy regimes, while excessive returns within both the US and European markets are observed.
