I myself started a MOMENTUM fund as an institutional asset manager with a very renowned bank in Europe. I started with extensive research to convince the management and finally the project got green light, but guess when?! In 2007 just ahead of the GFC. Note that the fund did not significantly underperform its benchmark (MSCI World) but the management never felt comfortable with it and after 3 years it got closed because of a big client who complained based on wrongly calculated numbers. Instead of chain linking the returns he came up with simple subtractions. Now I‘m retired and I would anytime start a fund based on this factor because it‘s the only one the encompasses „success breeds success“ and that‘s as close to the core of managing assets as you can get.

Anyways, the studies about the power of momentum alone are very interesing.

Nathan. as usual very solid video with useful info/data. I read the book many years ago and tried it for while with US sectors ETFs. It worked well but the promise of market downturn protection I never tested . For the last 10 years it took a Covid type collapse to test the system, at which time I'd moved back to my (Long hold + Tail hedge), which worked beautiful back then. Given this protracted bear market where Tail Hedge is not that effective, it may be the right time to reopen Antonacci's book. By the way, your coffee can strategy may be a momentum strategy in disguise (ie. no adjustments necessary) Again, thanks for the video.

@NathanWinklepleckCFA Жыл бұрын

Thanks, Marcos! You're absoultely right abut the coffee can. I've thought of it in the same way. I think market cap ETFs are also momentum ETFs, in disguise. Really, the coffee can is trying to blend both the benefits of momentum and the benefits of access to smaller stocks that have more room-to-run (like an equal weight ETF) but doesn't sell winners to reinvest into losers. It's a fascinating explanation for why it appears to work so well... maybe it's just the momentum factor the whole time!

@davidwester9761 Жыл бұрын

I’m late to the discussion but as a recent retiree I looked into this (bought book, experimented with it a bit, talked to others who’ve looked into this). I found that performance since the book was published had deteriorated, and the benefits vs a std 60/40 weren’t there. You should reach out to Gary, he is willing to discuss his strategy live, you could make a video out of it! He claims his proprietary models (differing look back periods, more asset classes) perform much better. Can you show the results using allocate smartly from 2010 - 2022 only? I think you’ll see no benefit over the time period since his book was published.

@Smoove_J Жыл бұрын

I started investing in 2020, so I’m pretty tired of these huge, unexpected drawdowns. I found a strategy like this that outperformed the market from 1945-2022, but from 2010 on it underperformed by nearly 50%. I was pretty disappointed. It sounds like it should work, but timing the market seems to be a pipe dream.

@shapiro5000 Жыл бұрын

I don't doubt momentum works but I know momentum investors who loved NVDA at a PE of 80, Adobe at a PE of 50, Visa at a PE of 40 and so on. Can't momentum cause price growth that outpaces earnings growth even on some of the most solid companies that leads to inevitable collapse back to fair value? If so, then this only works by timing the market? Would this not cause the same panic selling that other investors experience when you see prices fall in half or more?

9:50 The dual momentum approach reminds me a bit of the CANSLIM approach of William O'Neil. First he asks if the overall market is rising. If yes, invest. Second, he looks at which sectors are rising most and focuses on the top sectors. Then within those sectors he looks at individual companies and one of the factors in evaluating individual companies is that they should also be rising. I've oversimplified, but we see that it's 3 layers of momentum.

Very interesting, thank you. I am surprised that you are not more positive at the end of the video. All researches you showed confirmed the existence of momentum and all tests on the dual momentum show it did work over the last decades, providing higher returns and MUCH lower drawdowns. I understand that a strategy can not work in every market environment but still. Why wouldn't you be more interested in implementing that strategy ? The covid case is puzzling to me. The drop of the market was so sharp and sudden that with the dual method, you still should have been fully invested all the time, right ? Leading to a 35% drawdown, correct ?

@NathanWinklepleckCFA Жыл бұрын

Yes, if you have a short and fast event like 2020. If, however, you have an extended bear market, the system tends to work well at getting you out ahead of substantial downside. Where I think you get in trouble as an investor is when you panic down 40% or 50% on a stock or position and sell at or near the absolute bottom right as things flip. This system attempts to mitigate downside, but it's going to end up selling out at 10% or 20% lower... not a perfect system, by any means. But interesting way to psychologically protect yourself and prevent massive losses. But in typical correction, it's going to be a drag.

True momentum investing would be looking at a shorter time horizon like 6-12 months... where you're finding a good sweet spot are businesses that have been a value AND are starting to show decent short-term momentum. For example, Energy stocks might've fit the bill last year. Deep value and then momentum picks up over a 6 month time period, so you get benefits of both value + momentum.

I do remember that the group doing the backtest of this strategy said it has underperformed the S&P since 2008 or 2009, and the data Antonucci uses for prior to 2005 was only based on the S&P 500 outperformers and had survivorship bias. Their conclusion was that it lagged big-time during a long bull run, so whatever downside protection it brought didn't equal the underperforming of the bull runs.

This is a strategy that I don't understand, and unfortunately your video does not describe it in terms an ordinary investor can understand. Furthermore, I don't understand *why* it works. Maybe the book explains it better, but at first glance I would stay away from such a strategy. I like to look at fundamentals and understand why price is going where it is going. The dual momentum strategy looks to me like trying to pick a winner by looking in the rear view mirror at price action. The market tends to go to extreme highs and extreme lows, but you never know when momentum will turn. I don't think it is possible to predict when a trend will change. I would prefer a strategy that looks at valuation relative to some benchmark (e.g. money supply). Keep a small position in times of high valuation and a large position in times of low valuation.
