Relative Rotation Graphs (RRGs for short) are a visualisation tool to display the relative position of securities in a universe, against a benchmark and against each other. They were developed actually quite a while ago in 2004. But it wasn’t until January 2011, when they first became available on the Bloomberg professional terminal, that they started to attract attention in the professional investment world. They are now implemented on Market Analyst and very soon, Thomson Reuters Eikon. The primary goal of RRGs is to help get an overview of the relative movements in financial markets. This can be equity sectors against a broader benchmark, asset classes, commodities, currencies – really any instrument on which one would like to see the relative interaction.
