<P>The business cycle is much referenced but rarely defined. This lip service is all the more unhelpful when we hear brokers and third-party managers justify portfolio ideas on cyclic grounds – “these stocks are good late-stage cyclical plays,” for example. In this talk, we present a simple methodology to define the cycle using data with long histories. We then analyse the performance of industry sectors and style factors across different phases of the cycle.</P>
