Investment Thesis

Discretionary is the consumer's mood ring, and the slightly negative year tells that story: tariff pressure on goods, a cooling labour market, and two stocks — Amazon and Tesla at a third of the fund — whose idiosyncratic swings dominate the sector math. When rate cuts refill consumer wallets, this is historically among the first sectors to run.

Who It's For

Cyclical investors positioning for a consumer rebound, accepting the heavy Amazon/Tesla concentration that comes with any cap-weighted version of this sector.
