Jack is a portfolio manager at XYZ Asset Management, managing an active equity portfolio for a client with a long-term investment horizon and a high risk tolerance. The client's investment policy statement allows for significant sector tilts and a relatively concentrated portfolio. Jack's top-down analysis suggests that the materials sector is poised for outperformance due to increasing demand for raw materials and a global economic recovery. However, the portfolio currently has a significant underweight position in the materials sector relative to the benchmark. Jack has identified several high-quality materials stocks with strong fundamentals and attractive valuations that he believes will generate alpha. What is the most appropriate approach for Jack in this scenario?
a.
Gradually increase the allocation to the materials sector while maintaining a diversified portfolio and adhering to the client's risk tolerance and investment objectives.
b.
Significantly increase the allocation to the materials sector to capitalize on the expected outperformance, even if it results in a highly concentrated portfolio that deviates substantially from the benchmark.
c.
Maintain the current underweight position in the materials sector to avoid deviating from the benchmark, despite the identified opportunities for alpha generation.
