During economic downturns, investors often flock to theconsumerstaplessectorbecauseconsumerstaples ismainly

comprisedofcompaniesthatsellnondurablegoods-goodsthatdo not last longer than three years. These products, which arenecessities,haveinelasticdemandbecausewhentheeconomyisinarecession,consumershavelowerdisposableincome;thissteersconsumersawayfrombuyingdurableorluxurygoods(i.e.washingmachines,automobiles,televisions,etc.)andforcesthemtofocusonnecessities(i.e.food,beverages,cosmetics,andcleaningsupplies).This iswhyconsumerstaples isa safehaven for investorsduringtougheconomic times; consumers are alwaysgoing topurchaseproductssuchastoiletpaper, toothpaste,anddiapers,nomatterwhatkindofeconomicdisparitytheymightbedealingwith.

The consumer staples sector is comprised of mainly blue chipscompanies in their mature growth phase, which dominate theirsubsectors in an oligopolistic fashion.We can find examples ofthis inthebeverageindustry,suchasPepsiandCocaCola.Thesetwobeveragegiantsownmostofthemarketshareandfollowoneanother’s leadiftheotherissuccessful(i.e.CocaCola’sCokeZeromadeahugesplashandPepsisoonfollowedsuitwiththeirownzero-caloriesoftdrink:PepsiMax).

The consumer staplessector is not normallyknown for havinghigh-yielding growth(i.e.Apple Inc. in2011),but because industrygiants constantlymanufacture commonstaple products thatthe average consumerneeds,thesecompanieshave become moreknownfortheirreliablehigh-dividend yields.Thisiswhyaconsumerstaple stock is a greatway to protect yourportfolio: such stocksare the suppliers ofnecessities.

Financial firms are different from firms in other sectors in that theygeneratetheirprofitsbasedonmarketconditions,ratherthanthetangibleproductsthat theysell. Firms in thefinancial sector tendtogenerate largerprofitsduringbullish time periods, when interest rates are low.

The Healthcare care sector is one that is crucial in the assetallocationofanyportfolio.Whenclassifyingthesector,wefind

that it includesavarietyof sub-sectors. Thediversitywithin thissectoristrulyfascinating;companiesrangeinspecializationsthatinclude, but are not limited to: pharmaceuticals, biotechnologydrug developers, medical equipment suppliers, hospital holdingcompanies,managedcareandpharmacybenefitmanagers.

Healthcare is historically non-cyclical and defensive in timesof overall market underperformance. Our target companiesenjoy rather wide economic moats through high start-up costs,significantpricingpower,strongpatentprotectionandeconomiesofscale.Theyalsoprovidesteadyrevenuesstreams,haveefficientoperatingmetrics,andboaststrongcashpositions,ontheirbalancesheets,whichisusedtoincreaseshareholdervalue.Dividendsareaverypopularformofincreasingshareholdervalueinhealthcare.Companies also use the cash on their balance sheets to issuestock buy-back programs and further strengthen their businessthroughtheacquisitionsofothercompanieswithpromisingnewinnovations.

Duetothegovernment’s involvementthroughprogramssuchasMedicareandMedicaid,wewillcontinuetoseepoliticalpressuresdue to increased scrutiny of their budgets and the continuedimplementation of “Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act”.Additionally, we are in a period that major pharmaceuticals arebeingtaxedatleast$2.3Billionaspartof“ObamaCare”;theyarealsoscheduledtohavemajorpatentexpirationsuntiltheyear2016.

From a macro perspective, we continue to expect increaseddemandforhealthcareproductsandservicesfueledbytheagingpopulationinthedevelopedworld.SpecificallyintheUnitedStates,it is expected that by 2030, 19% of the population (72.1millionpeople) will be over 65 years of age. Additionally, if sustained,

health care reform will present approximately 34 million newlyinsured customers seeking health care products and services.Theseincreasingdemandtrendsareprojectedtocontinueandthecompanies in ourportfolio are inpristineposition toprofit fromthesedevelopments.

In conclusion, we expect to further diversify our holdings inthe healthcare sector by decreasing our exposure to brandedpharmaceuticals, increasing our exposure to the medicalequipment and managed care sub-sectors. We are staying oncoursewithourholdinginthepharmacybenefitmanager.Fromariskmanagementstandpoint,wewillcontinuetoactivelymitigateriskthroughoptionsstrategiesinordertoensurewecapitalizeonthemaximumbenefits possiblewhile ensuring our investmentstrategyandrisktoleranceisstrictlyadheredto.
