Big Picture Value vs. Growth Signal

Dean Christians
2021-03-09
What's the forward return outlook for sectors and styles after a surge in the 126-day rate of change spread between value and growth?

As many of you know, I worked for a large-cap growth manager for 20 years, and my personal accounts have a clear tilt toward growth-oriented groups. Even with a preference for growth, I learned a long time ago that one must keep an open mind and view data without bias to be successful at investing. When the market provides us with a message, take note.

The 126-day rate of change spread between value and growth crossed above 20% on Monday. Before the current signal, one has to go back over two decades to find the last cross in November 2000.

Let's look at what a spread signal means for value, growth, and several other groups.

The following chart and tables use total return data, and the relative performance tables represent the net difference between the two groups.

Value vs. Growth Rate of Change Spread Chart

Value - Absolute Signal Performance

Growth - Absolute Signal Performance

Value vs. Growth - Relative Signal Performance

Interestingly, the value index shows a tendency to underperform growth in the 1-week timeframe after a signal. As I write this note, growth is trouncing value.

Financials - Absolute Signal Performance

Financials vs. Large Cap - Relative Signal Performance

Energy - Absolute Signal Performance

Energy vs. Large-Cap - Relative Signal Performance

Small-Cap - Absolute Signal Performance

Small-Cap vs. Large-Cap - Relative Signal Performance

All Groups Absolute Performance

The following table is sorted by the 1-year median gain.

What can we expect from here in the next few months?

The following table provides more context around signals since 1950. The historical statistics show that the spread continues to rise to an average peak of roughly 30% after an additional 37 trading days have passed. The final column shows how many trading days it takes for the spread to cross back below zero.

Risk Disclosure: Futures and forex trading contains substantial risk and is not for every investor. An investor could potentially lose all or more than the initial investment. Risk capital is money that can be lost without jeopardizing ones’ financial security or life style. Only risk capital should be used for trading and only those with sufficient risk capital should consider trading. Past performance is not necessarily indicative of future results.

Hypothetical Performance Disclosure: Hypothetical performance results have many inherent limitations, some of which are described below. No representation is being made that any account will or is likely to achieve profits or losses similar to those shown; in fact, there are frequently sharp differences between hypothetical performance results and the actual results subsequently achieved by any particular trading program. One of the limitations of hypothetical performance results is that they are generally prepared with the benefit of hindsight. In addition, hypothetical trading does not involve financial risk, and no hypothetical trading record can completely account for the impact of financial risk of actual trading. for example, the ability to withstand losses or to adhere to a particular trading program in spite of trading losses are material points which can also adversely affect actual trading results. There are numerous other factors related to the markets in general or to the implementation of any specific trading program which cannot be fully accounted for in the preparation of hypothetical performance results and all which can adversely affect trading results.
