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

    The current momentum book has top 5 78.58%, top 10 100.00%, top 20 100.00% and sector exposure of Utilities 100.00%. Its leading holdings are NEE (NextEra Energy, Inc.) 20.00%, AEP (American Electric Power Company, Inc.) 18.46%, ETR (Entergy Corporation) 15.57%, and DTE 12.47%, so the user should decide whether this is diversified momentum or a concentrated bet on a small group of recent winners.

  • momentum13FChat AI

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

    The momentum screen currently emphasizes NEE (NextEra Energy, Inc.) 20.00%, AEP (American Electric Power Company, Inc.) 18.46%, ETR (Entergy Corporation) 15.57%, DTE 12.47%, and EIX (Edison International) 12.08%. It still overlaps the baseline through AEP, ETR, NEE, while sector exposure is Utilities 100.00%. That makes the result a momentum-tilted subset rather than a simple copy of the baseline weights.
