Strategy Q&A

Pre-generated questions and answers about this strategy.

  • momentum13FChat AI

    Which names did the momentum screen keep for SPMO | S&P 500 Momentum ETF, and what tilt does that create?

    The momentum screen currently emphasizes MU (Micron Technology, Inc.) 20.00%, AMD (Advanced Micro Devices, Inc.) 10.81%, LRCX (Lam Research Corporation) 9.71%, INTC (Intel Corporation) 9.56%, and CAT (Caterpillar Inc.) 7.96%. It still overlaps the baseline through AMD, CAT, INTC, LRCX, MU, while sector exposure is Information Technology 82.88%, Industrials 16.62%, and Consumer Staples 0.51%. That makes the result a momentum-tilted subset rather than a simple copy of the baseline weights.

    Compare the momentum top holdings with the baseline top holdings and sector allocation.

    Which recent momentum periods most strongly shaped the result?

    The strongest recent period was 2026-04-30 (21.81% strategy return, 4.11% benchmark, 17.70% excess, 65.01% turnover), while the weakest was 2025-10-31 (-4.47% strategy return, 0.20% benchmark, -4.66% excess, 41.29% turnover). The latest rebalance shows MU increase to 20.00%; AMD increase to 10.81%; LRCX increase to 9.71%, which helps reveal whether the model is adding new winners or merely resizing existing leaders.

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

    The momentum result shows return 19.74%, alpha 5.60%, beta 1.03, Sharpe 0.89, Sortino 1.15, and max drawdown -30.45%. Versus baseline, annualized return changed by -1.13%, alpha changed by -0.43%, Sharpe changed by -0.17, Sortino changed by -0.18, drawdown worsened by 0.68%. Average recent turnover is about 90.87%, and concentration is top 5 58.04%, top 10 84.46%, top 20 100.01%, so any return improvement should be tested against trading cost and crowded-winner reversal risk.
