Romanian Energy and Utilities set to underperform?
Indices are averages constructed from stock components. This is why they are less volatile and also don’t generally reach the best or worst performance rankings. For example BETXT and BETNG, the Romanian Indices have a lower chance of reaching above 50 (the worst performers) or near 1 (the best performer). This is why the Rieki pair cycle of BETXT vs. BETNG becomes interesting. The pair cycle has reached near a bottom and suggests that after underperforming BETNG for almost a year, it is time for BETXT to outperform BETNG.
During the period Jan 2010 till date, BETNG outperformed BETXT by 24%. This is serious alpha specially if we consider these returns are generated between Indices. We have illustrated the relative performance below between BETXT and BETNG. The ratio line is near Mar 2009 lows and indicates that Rieki pair perspective might be correct in indicating an outperformance of BETXT components compared to BETNG components. This also reinforces the idea of TGN underperformance.
Rieki is still negative for other top indices. We continue to look lower as the year comes to a close.Enjoy the latest Alpha Indices.
