Daily RRG showing Growth vs. Value relationship
Relative Rotation Graphs enable us to see beyond sectors or individual stock rotations; they can also be used to visualize differently-sorted market segments.
The RRG above illustrates growth vs. value stocks, a measure that often is also used to gauge the direction for the general market. In general, growth will do well/better when the market is going up while value does well/better when the market is going down.
The default RRG that is available from the drop-down list on the RRG page only shows the DJ US Growth index and DJ US Value index on an RRG, with the DJ Global Index as the benchmark. In order to make this more actionable, I have added two tradable ETFs to the image above.
There are plenty of ETFs that can be used to create exposure to either Growth or Value stocks. A few that spring to mind are:
- Growth: IWF,IVW,IWO,SPYG
- Value: IWD,IWN,IVE,SPYV
For this example, I picked IVE and IVW to overlay on the pre-defined image.
The tails for the growth index/ETF are pretty much on top of each other. The tails for the value index/ETF are slightly separated. But what is most important is that the tails on the ETFs are traveling in the same direction as the indexes.
The chart below shows:
- IVW price
- IVW relative to $DJW
- IVE price
- IVE relative to $DJW
- IVE relative to IVW
The rotations on this Relative Rotation Graph, in combination with the price and above RRGs, suggest a clear outperformance for Growth (IVW) over Value (IVE) in coming weeks.
