U.S. Model Portfolio – Stock Only

.The U.S. Stock Only Model Portfolio has one stock that has become overvalued this month. The stock is Comtech Telecommunications [CMTL] at 167.05 Fv. Comtech was a strong contributor to the portfolio. Comtech is a Market stock in the Information Technology sector and the Technology Hardware industry group. The company designs, develops and produces advanced communications products.

With this stock being removed from the portfolio the current asset allocation has a slight overweight to Core and Aspirational stocks and a corresponding underweight to Market stocks of -8.4%.

In terms of market capitalization, the allocation favors SmallCap and MidCap stocks at 3.9% and 2.5% overweight. Large Cap stocks holds the largest allocation, but at 78.2% it is -11.8% underweight.

Within sector allocations the portfolio is currently overweight in Consumer Staples, Financials, and Materials. It is underweight in Energy and Industrials. It is very close to target weights in Consumer Discretionary, Health Care, Information Technology and Telecommunication Services.

For the portfolio we wish to add stock(s) that have a Market characteristic within the Large Cap capitalization category and located in Energy. There are 4 stocks that are considered BUYs within the LargeCap Energy sector. The list was narrowed down to two stocks: Andeavor [ANDV] and Baker Hughes [BHGE]. Both stocks are close to one another in terms of fair value and Baker Hughes has a better free cash flow/share.

 

Adding Baker Hughes to the portfolio increased the allocation to the Market category by 1.2% moving Market to 59.0% and reducing the underweight to -7.3%.

It also increased the allocation to LargeCap classification stocks to 78.8 an increase of 0.6 points, thereby reducing the underweight to -11.2%.

Sectors weights also improved as a result of today’s change. Energy allocation is now within 0.5% of our target at 5.6%. Seven sectors are within 1% of our targets. The remaining two sectors, Consumer Staples and Financials both moved closer to target weights.
