Update: Value & Momentum

Update: Value & Momentum

Value & Momentum is a strategy that combines the factors of value and momentum to buy cheap companies that are trading with good momentum. Portfolio weights are adjusted for volatility and changes are made once a month.

Holdings and position sizes are included in the premium package and are displayed on the Model Portfolios page.

Keep in mind that factor-based equity portfolios have a high correlation to the stock market. After all, it is stocks that we buy. If the stock market falls, the equity portfolios are expected to fall.

With patience, discipline and systematic position management, we have a good chance of outperforming over time.

By updating the portfolio once a month instead of constantly adjusting it, the strategy has room to operate and function as it is intended to.
