5G/Cyber Security Portfolios
The Rise of 5G
5G stocks are all the rage now. More and more people are telecommuting, online commerce has greatly increased (thanks partly due to COVID-19). Businesses and companies need wider connectivity, faster communication networks and faster access to the data. The broad bandwidth, increased connectivity, faster downloading speed of 5G technology is expected to help all these issues.
In spite of all the publicity, so far the real experience with 5G is far from being satisfactory. But, as with any new technology, this is expected to change in the course of time. There has been considerable research going on to speed up the communication. Hence this might be a good time for investors to seriously consider having a portfolio consisting of 5G stocks.
One question is, how risky are these stocks compared to the market indices. They are highly volatile. But that is OK. Higher volatility means higher the reward. We have been looking at the risk factors of 5G stocks, using our new novel risk measure 'q-relative entropy' (TRE) discussed in A New Risk Measure, There is The risk values are calculated relative to the Fidelity NASDAQ ETF ONEQ, which closely tracks NASDAQ. The ETF ONEQ is used as reference because a big percentage of 5G stocks are in NASDAQ. Every two months during the first week, we publish a table giving the relative risk values of the 5G stocks in our list. This table can then be used to construct a 5G portfolio (using the step by step instructions given in Portfolio Management).
We have updated our 5G list to 90 stocks. More will be added in due course. It should be noted that our present 5G list also has a few Cyber Security stocks. What with the world becoming digital and increased fear of hackers, these stocks might do very well and it is worth taking a look at them.
