Goldman touts stable stocks for this market; here is their rebalanced portfolio
According to Goldman Sachs, investors should own stable stocks as they grapple with tighter monetary policy and slowing growth.
"Firms with low share price volatility and stable earnings growth should outperform in the uncertain macro environment," Goldman Sachs strategist David Kostin wrote in a note.

The prospective Sharpe Ratio is the return on the consensus 12-month price target divided by 6-month option-implied volatility.
The median stock of this basket is expected to generate 2x the return of the median $SPDR S&P 500 ETF (SPY.US)$ stock with only slightly higher implied volatility.

The basket was down 18% this year, while the median large-cap mutual fund declined 22%. The basket saw nearly a complete overhaul, with 42 new entrants. The stocks by sector with new entrants denoted in green are:
