Episode 58: Profiling Market Strength with Julius de Kempenaer, CMT

In this episode of Fill the Gap, Julius de Kempenaer, CMT shares the story behind the creation of the Relative Rotation Graph (RRG), a data visualization tool that revolutionized how investors analyze relative strength and momentum across sectors and asset classes. 

The conversation highlights the importance of not just identifying what to buy, but also knowing what to remove from a portfolio to avoid underperformance. We also discuss the significance of portfolio weighting versus equal weighting when benchmarking performance. The episode concludes with reflections on the ongoing need for education in technical analysis and Julius’s personal journey to finally completing his CMT designation after decades in the industry.

Fill the Gap, hosted by David Lundgren, CMT, CFA and Tyler Wood, CMT brings veteran market analysts and money managers onto a monthly podcast.
