Market Navigator™ Sector Research Platform

The Market Navigator online platform provides a unique set of genuinely innovative sector based research tools that enable clients to take advantage of sector trends which are key drivers of investment returns.

Platform Overview: Productivity Enhancing Toolset

The platform is based on proprietary, value-added sector data produced bottom-up from our stocks universe and sector structure mapping, and provides a framework of highly intuitive tools for fast, comprehensive analysis of sector rotation and the tactical assessment of sector attractiveness.

Computational power for the analytical framework is provided by our Atlanta data center.  This runs our sector database, and statistical, quantitative and other analysis functions, as well as chart production. The processes start after the New York close, with updated analysis normally uploaded and available via the online platform by 2 am Eastern Time on the day following any given market close. 

Strategic Market by Sector Analysis:  Defining Sector Allocation

Market Navigator incorporates powerful intuitive tools for top-down market-by-sector analysis to rapidly deliver a superior strategic overview of the market.  These are used to assist in defining sector allocation by providing unique insights into sector rotation, generating investment ideas, and screening sectors against a comprehensive array of proprietary data generated by our sector database. All tools are designed for fast, 1-click drill-down to the sub-sector, industry and individual sector component levels for further analysis.

Maximizing Returns: Tactical Investing Tools

The platform incorporates tools providing intelligence on optimal timing for entering/adding to or exiting/trimming positions, relevant to both shorter term traders and longer tern investors and portfolio strategists.  These can be used seamlessly in conjunction with our strategic analysis tools or on a standalone basis, as an overlay to enhance returns from existing strategies without fundamentally impacting established investment processes.
