Strategy Q&A

Pre-generated questions and answers about this strategy.

  • momentum13FChat AI

    Did the momentum screen improve returns enough to justify drawdown, concentration, and turnover?

    The momentum result shows return 28.89%, alpha 11.74%, beta 1.15, Sharpe 1.12, Sortino 1.49, and max drawdown -32.09%. Versus baseline, annualized return changed by 7.82%, alpha changed by 7.33%, Sharpe changed by 0.15, Sortino changed by 0.25, drawdown improved by 3.00%. Average recent turnover is about 69.50%, and concentration is top 5 61.44%, top 10 83.40%, top 20 100.01%, so any return improvement should be tested against trading cost and crowded-winner reversal risk.

    Did the momentum screen concentrate exposure in a few winners or sectors?

    The current momentum book has top 5 61.44%, top 10 83.40%, top 20 100.01% and sector exposure of Information Technology 90.88%, Consumer Discretionary 4.06%, Industrials 2.62%, and Energy 2.45%. Its leading holdings are MU (Micron Technology, Inc.) 17.69%, AMD (Advanced Micro Devices, Inc.) 15.62%, INTC (Intel Corporation) 13.13%, and LRCX (Lam Research Corporation) 7.73%, so the user should decide whether this is diversified momentum or a concentrated bet on a small group of recent winners.

    Which names did the momentum screen keep for QQQ | Nasdaq-100 ETF | Nasdaq-100 Market Proxy, and what tilt does that create?

    The momentum screen currently emphasizes MU (Micron Technology, Inc.) 17.69%, AMD (Advanced Micro Devices, Inc.) 15.62%, INTC (Intel Corporation) 13.13%, LRCX (Lam Research Corporation) 7.73%, and AMAT (Applied Materials, Inc.) 7.27%. It still overlaps the baseline through AMD, MU, while sector exposure is Information Technology 90.88%, Consumer Discretionary 4.06%, and Industrials 2.62%. That makes the result a momentum-tilted subset rather than a simple copy of the baseline weights.
