Strategy Q&A

Pre-generated questions and answers about this strategy.

  • momentum13FChat AI

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

    The current momentum book has top 5 76.49%, top 10 100.01%, top 20 100.01% and sector exposure of Consumer Staples 100.01%. Its leading holdings are WMT (Walmart Inc.) 20.00%, COST (Costco Wholesale Corporation) 20.00%, KO (The Coca-Cola Company) 14.33%, and MDLZ (Mondelez International, Inc.) 11.46%, 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 XLP | S&P 500 Consumer Staples Sector ETF, and what tilt does that create?

    The momentum screen currently emphasizes WMT (Walmart Inc.) 20.00%, COST (Costco Wholesale Corporation) 20.00%, KO (The Coca-Cola Company) 14.33%, MDLZ (Mondelez International, Inc.) 11.46%, and MO (Altria Group, Inc.) 10.70%. It still overlaps the baseline through COST, KO, MDLZ, MO, WMT, while sector exposure is Consumer Staples 100.01%. That makes the result a momentum-tilted subset rather than a simple copy of the baseline weights.

    Which recent momentum periods most strongly shaped the result?

    The strongest recent period was 2025-12-31 (7.73% strategy return, 1.47% benchmark, 6.25% excess, 52.08% turnover), while the weakest was 2026-03-31 (1.78% strategy return, 9.42% benchmark, -7.64% excess, 153.58% turnover). The latest rebalance shows COST increase to 20.00%; WMT increase to 20.00%; KO increase to 14.33%, which helps reveal whether the model is adding new winners or merely resizing existing leaders.
