class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In the field of investment, the &#8220;business cycle&#8221; has always been an important reference point. Fluctuations in the overall economy, corporate earnings, and market sentiment all show distinct characteristics during different stages of the cycle. Therefore, being able to grasp the movements of the business cycle can help investors more accurately adjust their asset allocations and gain a relative advantage in the market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In Taiwan, the government provides a simple and accessible indicator of the economic condition through the publication of the &#8220;business cycle signal lights.&#8221; These lights are categorized into five types: blue, yellow-blue, green, yellow-red, and red, each representing the current state of the economy:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Blue Light<\/strong>: Indicates economic downturn; the economy is in a recession phase.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Yellow-Blue Light<\/strong>: Suggests weakening economic conditions, with potential further deterioration.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Green Light<\/strong>: Signifies economic stability, indicating a normal expansion phase.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Yellow-Red Light<\/strong>: Implies economic overheating, with potential risks of overexpansion.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Red Light<\/strong>: Reflects severe overheating, signaling potential bubbles or correction risks.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>This signal system is calculated by the National Development Council based on multiple economic indicators, transforming complex macroeconomic information into a form easily understood by the general public. By appropriately utilizing these indicators and validating them through quantitative investment strategies, investors can better grasp optimal entry and exit points amid the fluctuations of the economic cycle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Strategy_Logic\"><\/span>Strategy Logic<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>From the perspective of the business cycle, the market typically experiences a bear market every few years, leading to significant short-term asset drawdowns. We aim to extract relatively strong entry and exit signals from the business cycle indicators, allowing investors to avoid major downturns and reduce portfolio risks even when simply investing in broad market indices such as the general market or a market-cap-weighted ETF like 0050.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The trading logic proposed in this article is to&nbsp;<strong>buy stocks when the business signal light shows a &#8220;blue light,&#8221;<\/strong>suggesting a relatively low point in the economic cycle, and&nbsp;<strong>sell stocks when a &#8220;red light&#8221; appears,<\/strong>&nbsp;indicating potential economic overheating. Through this straightforward design, we seek to &#8220;avoid holding positions during bear markets&#8221; while capturing the major upward movements of the broad market. During periods when we are not holding stocks, we invest in a one-year U.S. Treasury bond ETF to mitigate the risk of inflation eroding the value of cash holdings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Trading Instruments &amp; Practical Implementation Details:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The primary trading instrument is the&nbsp;<strong>0050 ETF<\/strong>, as it provides the most direct way for general investors to gain exposure to the Taiwanese stock market. For the bond allocation, we choose the&nbsp;<strong>00865B U.S. Short-Term Treasury Bond ETF<\/strong>, preferring U.S. bonds because their yields are generally higher than those of Taiwanese government bonds. Short-term bonds are selected to prioritize capital preservation while earning interest income. Our goal during periods out of the stock market is simply to counter inflation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Practical Implementation Details :<\/strong> Since TEJAPI provides the business cycle signal scores for Taiwan, this article uses TEJ\u2019s business cycle indicators as the basis for backtesting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full caption-align-center\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1988\" height=\"989\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tejwin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/\u310eopo.png\" alt=\"Business Cycle\" class=\"wp-image-34275\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.tejwin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/\u310eopo.png 1988w, https:\/\/www.tejwin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/\u310eopo-300x149.png 300w, https:\/\/www.tejwin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/\u310eopo-1024x509.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.tejwin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/\u310eopo-150x75.png 150w, https:\/\/www.tejwin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/\u310eopo-768x382.png 768w, https:\/\/www.tejwin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/\u310eopo-1536x764.png 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1988px) 100vw, 1988px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Visualization of Business Cycle Signals, 0050, and 00865B Prices<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Backtest_Performance_Charts_and_Analysis\"><\/span>Backtest Performance Charts and Analysis<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full caption-align-center\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1456\" height=\"837\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tejwin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/output-8.png\" alt=\"Business Cycle\" class=\"wp-image-34257\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.tejwin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/output-8.png 1456w, https:\/\/www.tejwin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/output-8-300x172.png 300w, https:\/\/www.tejwin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/output-8-1024x589.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.tejwin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/output-8-150x86.png 150w, https:\/\/www.tejwin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/output-8-768x441.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1456px) 100vw, 1456px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The chart above shows the cumulative return of the strategy backtest, with periods of holding 0050 and periods of holding short-term U.S. Treasuries clearly marked.<br>Looking at the overall performance, the strategy significantly outperforms the broad market. Even excluding the market downturn caused by the U.S. tariff policy announced in April 2025, the strategy still delivers about 25% higher returns than the market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Digging into the details: from 2021 to the end of 2022, the market first moved sideways for about a year before entering a downturn. Over these two years, the overall market return slightly declined. During this period, the strategy was allocated to the U.S. short-term Treasury bond ETF. Although the bond returns were modest, the strategy successfully avoided the stock market\u2019s volatility while steadily earning interest income \u2014 exactly the effect we aimed for.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Next, looking at the period around June 2024, the strategy exited 0050 and shifted into bonds. While holding bonds, the market experienced two major downturns: the first in August 2024 due to the unwinding of yen carry trades, and the second in April 2025 triggered by Trump&#8217;s tariff policies.<br>Although this hindsight view benefits from knowing the outcomes, we can observe that overall market valuations were already stretched during that time, and even without these policy shocks, the market likely had limited upside potential.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This strategy only uses the information from the business cycle signal lights. Investors can further enhance their own strategies by incorporating preferred economic indicators \u2014 such as the VIX, benchmark interest rates, or the Purchasing Managers&#8217; Index (PMI) \u2014 to strengthen the&nbsp;<strong>market timing capability<\/strong>&nbsp;and achieve&nbsp;<strong>long-term stable returns<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full caption-align-center\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2412\" height=\"760\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tejwin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/\u622a\u5716-2025-04-17-\u4e0a\u53489.52.27.png\" alt=\"Business Cycle\" class=\"wp-image-34259\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.tejwin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/\u622a\u5716-2025-04-17-\u4e0a\u53489.52.27.png 2412w, https:\/\/www.tejwin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/\u622a\u5716-2025-04-17-\u4e0a\u53489.52.27-300x95.png 300w, https:\/\/www.tejwin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/\u622a\u5716-2025-04-17-\u4e0a\u53489.52.27-1024x323.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.tejwin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/\u622a\u5716-2025-04-17-\u4e0a\u53489.52.27-150x47.png 150w, https:\/\/www.tejwin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/\u622a\u5716-2025-04-17-\u4e0a\u53489.52.27-768x242.png 768w, https:\/\/www.tejwin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/\u622a\u5716-2025-04-17-\u4e0a\u53489.52.27-1536x484.png 1536w, https:\/\/www.tejwin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/\u622a\u5716-2025-04-17-\u4e0a\u53489.52.27-2048x645.png 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2412px) 100vw, 2412px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">The green line represents the cyclical investment strategy, while the gray line represents the benchmark (0050).<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The backtest period spans from January 1, 2020, to April 8, 2025.<br>The starting point of 2020 was chosen because the 00865B ETF only became available for trading at the end of 2019.<br>The strategy achieved a Sharpe ratio of 1.38, indicating that it delivered solid returns while maintaining good risk control.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The second chart shows the cumulative returns adjusted for risk.<br>It is evident that the strategy experienced lower volatility during the backtest, leading to a significant gap in overall returns compared to the benchmark.<br>This suggests that the strategy successfully avoided periods of bear market turbulence, helping to reduce investors&#8217;
