Part 1: Understanding Defensive Sectors

 

1부에 대한 정보:

 

Defensive sectors are industries that tend to be less sensitive to economic cycles. These sectors provide essential goods and services that consumers need regardless of the economic environment.

 

  • Utilities: Companies providing essential services such as water, electricity, and natural gas. These services are necessary for daily life, so demand remains relatively stable even during economic downturns.
  • Consumer Staples: Companies that produce essential products like food, beverages, and household items. These products are consistently in demand, making the sector resilient during economic contractions.
  • Healthcare: Companies that provide medical services, pharmaceuticals, and medical devices. Healthcare needs are constant, regardless of economic conditions.

 

1부에 대한 질문:

 

  1. Which sectors are considered defensive and why?

  2. How can Sara ensure that the investor’s portfolio is adequately diversified to manage risk during economic downturns?

 

Part 2: Analyzing Sector Performance

 

2부에 대한 정보:

 

Different sectors perform variably during economic expansions and contractions. Analyzing past performance helps inform future investment decisions.

 

Given the following data:

  • During the last economic expansion (2010-2020), the technology sector experienced an average annual growth rate of 15%, driven by increased consumer and business spending on technology products and services.
  • The utilities sector, during the same period, had an average annual growth rate of 6%, reflecting steady but modest growth.
  • During the last economic contraction (2007-2009), the technology sector declined by 40%, while the utilities sector declined by 15%, demonstrating its defensive characteristics.

 

2부에 대한 질문:

 

  1. How did the technology sector perform during the last economic expansion and contraction?
