We are seeing a very noticeable shift in market drivers this month based on the latest @SPDJIndices factor rotation. Conservative investment approaches are currently taking the lead, and this trend extends far beyond the U.S. market. Specifically, Low Volatility and Dividend Aristocrats are setting the pace as the clear top performers. In contrast, Momentum and Pure Growth are having a much harder time gaining traction. This preference for defensive strategies is a truly global theme, with strong outperformance observed throughout Asia and Europe. Furthermore, the Momentum factor has specifically fallen behind across both Australia and Japan.
