Select Industries: Adding Aerospace & Defense Group
Aerospace & Defense was added to the portfolio this month.
Health Care Distributors Purchased In Select Industries
Excellent scores in three of six model categories, plus it offers plenty of market cap and low beta relative to other Health Care groups. We think it will benefit from broad, long-term industry trends.

Attractive valuations, improving growth and technical strength are the key drivers. The group offers an opportunity to participate primarily in the overall growth of computing devices.

Multi-Line Insurance was added to the portfolio. While several insurance groups currently rate Attractive, we like the diversified nature of the Multi-Line group.

Still Flying With Airlines
While their scores remain strong, the underlying factor strength has shifted as these stocks have soared. Our quantitative disciplines and a compelling underlying fundamental story are keeping us in flight.
Specialized Finance Purchased In Select Industries
Group’s technical and value profile drive Attractive rating, and its diverse mix of companies are poised to benefit from the current macro environment.
Where To Buy In The Changing Landscape Of Advertising
Select Industries makes an Advertising buy, looking for the large integrated agencies to make their best pitch.
Select Industries Takes Flight With The Airlines
This group has been Attractive since March, and currently ranks fourth in our Group Scoring model. We think an improving fundamental story, coupled with a strong GS Score, is emerging from this ravaged industry.
