Merrill Lynch's Investment Clock (The Investment Clock) is an economic cycle model proposed by Merrill Lynch, dividing the market into four stages based on the changes in economic growth and inflation levels, and providing different asset allocation recommendations for each stage. The core concept of the Investment Clock is: different economic environments are suitable for investing in different asset categories. Investors can adjust their investment strategies according to the changes in the economic cycle to achieve better returns.
Basic Principles of Merrill Lynch's Investment Clock
Merrill Lynch's Investment Clock analyzes economic cycles based on two key factors:
1. Economic growth: Measures the overall expansion or contraction of economic activities (i.e. GDP growth).
2. Inflation: Measures the rise or fall of the price level.
Changes in economic growth and inflation form four typical economic environments, corresponding to four different market stages. In each stage, the most suitable asset categories for investment vary. The Merril Lynch Clock represents these four stages in a clock-like form.
