Factor investing tilts toward value, momentum, quality, and size premia.

Hanauer: Momentum strategies extend beyond pure price momentum

Hanauer: Momentum strategies extend beyond pure price momentum

Matthias Hanauer

Momentum investing can be implemented through multiple approaches beyond traditional price momentum, including cross- market momentum and news-based momentum. The strategy can be enhanced by techniques that limit momentum crashes (like those in 2009 and the 1930s) while sacrificing only a small portion of the premium. This broader conception of momentum reflects information spillovers across different data sources and markets.

Pim van Vliet's research demonstrates that combining net payout yield (dividends plus buybacks) with low volatility and momentum factors produces strong returns, yielding 15% annually from 1929 to 2022. The strategy selects from the largest 1,000 stocks, choosing the 500 with lowest three-year volatility, then picking 100 with best net payout yield and momentum for quarterly rebalancing.

Grieve: Fundamentalists exit as momentum traders drive bubbles

Kyle Grieve

In market bubbles, fundamentalists initially drive prices up in line with intrinsic value increases, but as momentum traders (trend followers) observe the upward price movement and begin buying, they push prices beyond fundamental value. This creates a dynamic where fundamentalists exit as valuations become stretched, while momentum traders continue buying, resulting in fewer fundamentalists and more momentum-driven participants as the bubble inflates.
