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 5.74%, alpha -3.21%, beta 0.70, Sharpe 0.40, Sortino 0.54, and max drawdown -26.41%. Versus baseline, annualized return changed by -2.41%, alpha changed by -1.71%, Sharpe changed by -0.15, Sortino changed by -0.20, drawdown improved by 2.14%. Average recent turnover is about 86.10%, and concentration is top 5 67.38%, top 10 88.35%, top 20 100.00%, so any return improvement should be tested against trading cost and crowded-winner reversal risk.

    Which names did the momentum screen keep for XLV | S&P 500 Health Care Sector ETF, and what tilt does that create?

    The momentum screen currently emphasizes JNJ (Johnson & Johnson) 20.00%, UNH (UnitedHealth Group Incorporated) 20.00%, PFE (Pfizer Inc.) 11.07%, BMY (Bristol-Myers Squibb Company) 9.11%, and ELV (Elevance Health, Inc.) 7.20%. It still overlaps the baseline through JNJ, UNH, while sector exposure is Health Care 100.00%. That makes the result a momentum-tilted subset rather than a simple copy of the baseline weights.
