Discover how Julius de Kempenaer’s Relative Rotation Graphs® empower investors with actionable insights into sector strength and rotation.
Seeing the Market from a New Perspective
In the world of investing, every decision counts. But with mountains of data at your fingertips, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed, especially when trying to predict trends and identify the best opportunities. Investors constantly search for ways to simplify complex information, hoping to gain an edge that will guide them through market volatility. For Julius de Kempenaer, the solution came in the form of a groundbreaking tool designed to make sector rotation visible and understandable—Relative Rotation Graphs® (RRG®).
RRGs® are more than just charts—they are a window into the hidden forces driving market trends. Julius’s vision was to create a tool that offered investors the ability to track and visualize sector performance in real time.Since the launch of RRG<GO> on the Bloomberg Professional terminal in 2011, they have transformed the way professionals approach sector rotation and market analysis.
The Genesis of Relative Rotation Graphs®
Before RRGs® made their debut on Bloomberg in January 2011, Julius de Kempenaer had been deep in the world of financial analysis, with a career that spanned across the military, financial institutions, investment banking, and technical analysis. His work as a senior technical analyst at Stockcharts.com and other top firms helped him recognize a critical need in the market: a more efficient, actionable tool for tracking sector strength.
It was during this period of reflection that Julius conceptualized RRGs®—a visualization tool that tracked sectors not in isolation, but in relation to one another. The goal was simple yet profound: give investors a clear view of which sectors were gaining momentum and which were losing it. This approach took advantage of relative strength, showing not just individual performance but sector dynamics in a larger context.
The first breakthrough came when Julius presented the idea at an industry conference. What started as an internal tool quickly gained traction with major financial platforms. It wasn’t long before RRGs® became available on Bloomberg terminals, followed by other platforms like LSEG Eikon, OPTUMA, and the EMEA website of State Street SPDR. The response was overwhelming, and Julius knew his tool had the potential to reshape how investors viewed the market.
Why Sector Rotation Matters: The Power of RRGs®
Understanding sector rotation is crucial for any investor looking to stay ahead of market trends. Traditional analysis often focuses on individual stocks or broad indices. While valuable, these methods can overlook the subtle yet powerful shifts occurring between different sectors. This is where RRGs® shine.
Relative Rotation Graphs® allow users to track the relative strength and momentum of sectors, offering a dynamic view of the market landscape. They provide an instant snapshot of how sectors are performing relative to one another, highlighting areas of growth and warning of potential declines. In essence, RRGs® show which sectors are “leading” the market and which ones are “lagging.”
Julius explains, “The power of RRGs® is their ability to tell the full story in a single chart. Instead of getting lost in individual stocks or sectors, you can see at a glance where the action is—and where it’s headed.”
This ability to track sector performance in real time is a game changer for investors who need to adapt quickly. Whether it’s spotting emerging trends, adjusting portfolios, or making quick market decisions, RRGs® give users the clarity they need to stay ahead of the curve.
Expanding the Reach of RRGs®: A Global Vision
From its initial launch, Julius has been committed to expanding the reach of Relative Rotation Graphs®. What started as a concept aimed at improving sector analysis is now used by investors and institutions worldwide. Over the years, Julius has partnered with some of the most influential financial platforms, including Bloomberg, LSEG, Stockcharts.com, and OPTUMA.
In addition to its popularity with professional investors, RRGs® have also made their mark in education. In 2017, they were added to the curriculum of the Chartered Market Technician (CMT) program, a globally recognized certification for technical analysts. This move further solidified RRGs® as a trusted tool for serious financial professionals.
But Julius’s ambitions don’t stop there. He sees even greater potential for RRGs® to impact the financial world. By building new B2B partnerships with major platforms, Julius hopes to expand the accessibility of RRGs® and continue to innovate in the field of sector rotation.
A Tool That Transforms the Way Investors Think
So, what makes Relative Rotation Graphs® different from other market tools? The answer lies in their simplicity and depth. Unlike traditional technical analysis tools that can overwhelm investors with information, RRGs® distill complex sector data into one easy-to-understand visual. The result is a tool that provides both high-level insights and actionable intelligence, making it ideal for both seasoned professionals and those new to technical analysis.
As Julius notes, “The visual approach to RRGs® allows investors to focus on the bigger picture, making it easier to identify trends and react in real time.”
The key to RRGs®’ success is their ability to combine simplicity with sophistication. Investors can quickly spot potential opportunities in sectors gaining momentum while avoiding areas that are weakening. This high-level overview of sector rotation gives users the flexibility to react quickly, refine their strategies, and enhance their investment decisions.
