HSBC strategist Chris Kettner warns investors hold an excessive allocation to growth and defensive sectors and recommends rotating into undervalued cyclicals to capture potential gains. He argues current mispositioning could drive significant sector flow shifts if allocations realign toward industrials, energy and financials.

1. Kettner's Rotation Trade Thesis

HSBC strategist Chris Kettner argues that institutional and retail investors are overly exposed to growth and defensive names, leaving cyclicals such as industrials, energy and financials trading at relative discounts. He believes reallocating capital into these underweight sectors could unlock performance as leading economic indicators point toward an imminent upswing for cyclical assets.
