Diversify across Top Sector mutual funds
Despite the rigor of the evaluation and selection process, there can be instances where investment in a sector mutual fund does not turn out to be exactly as expected. The performance of specific sector mutual funds can at times be affected by exogenous events like the earthquake in Japan or unanticipated industry changes like the ban on drilling in Gulf of Mexico.
To mitigate your risks, AlphaProfit brings together the sector mutual funds from top sectors to construct sector fund-based model portfolios for different investment objectives. AlphaProfit provides weightings for the individual sector funds with a view to minimize portfolio volatility.

AlphaProfit uses its time-tested sector rotation strategy to ensure sector mutual funds with outstanding return potential are included in the recommendations and model portfolios at all times.
