Trend Momentum Factor - US

Overview

Trend momentum takes a rolling average of the price and return used in price momentum, looking to identify patterns of momentum among equities.

The trend momentums are constructed with a cross-section regression approach that provides a unified framework incorporating information used in the three major price patterns:

  • - Short-term reversal effects
  • - Momentum effects
  • - Long-term reversal effects

Stocks that have high forecasted expected returns from the cross-section regression yield higher future returns on average, and stocks that have low forecasted expected returns tend to yield lower future returns on average.

Data Highlights
