The Adaptiv Select ETF had a strong October and finished November in great fashion as well, ending the month up 17.36%. The fund’s benchmark, the S&P 500, finished the month with a solid 5.30% gain. ADPV has now outperformed its benchmark for 9 out of 11 months in 2024.1
ADPV performance for the year (through 11/30/2024) now stands at 56.85%. Its benchmark, the S&P 500, has YTD of 27.19%.
With the positive move for broad indices after the US Presidential election, many stocks saw strong returns in November. And many of those names were big winners even before this month. This should come as no surprise, as the momentum factor has had a very strong 2024 overall. The biggest winners within ADPV were AppLovin (APP), Palantir Technologies (PLTR), Robinhood Markets (HOOD), Vistra Corp (VST), MDU Resources (MDU), First Horizon (FHN), and Virtu Financial (VIRT):
With such a strong month, there wasn’t a lot of hesitation around the market. Just two names within the Adaptiv Select ETF had negative returns for the month:
The Adaptiv Select ETF saw another drop in its exposure to the Financial sector, now down to 33% (but still the top weighting). All exposure to Real Estate was dropped. On the other hand, Technology has now doubled, moving from 10% in October to 20% by the end of November.2
*Concentration guidelines for ADPV are based on GICS Sub-Industry/Tier 4
Compared to its benchmark, ADPV is overweight Financials, Energy, and Utilities:
November saw another average month of reconstitution in the portfolio, with seven buys and sells for the month, which was the same amount we saw in October and September. We are now (mostly) through earnings season and the election dust has settled, which should bring a quieter end to the year for ADPV.
As we have talked about for the entire year, there is zero reason to not be bullish on equities. This was true before the election and it remains true after. Once again, November gave us very solid performance across all the major indices. If you are a student of seasonality, this should come as little surprise. In fact, we are now 1/6th of the way through the most bullish 6-month stretch for stocks. As of right now, there is no reason to believe that the trend won’t remain higher. Will there be corrections? Sure, of different shapes and sizes. But the long-term uptrends remain intact, which means the Adaptiv Select strategy will remain involved in equities.
