This book was released on 2015-06-10 with total page 22 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Seminar paper from the year 2015 in the subject Business economics - Banking, Stock Exchanges, Insurance, Accounting, grade: 2,0, University of Mannheim, course: Behavioral Finance, language: English, abstract: Extensive research has been dedicated to the momentum effect in the past two decades since it was first documented in 1993 by Jegadeesh and Titman. Put simply, momentum can be understood as persistence in relative stock performance: stocks which have performed well over the past three to twelve months continue to outperform stocks which have performed poorly over the next three to twelve months. The aim of this paper is to gather, compare and evaluate the available evidence so far to show that momentum is effective globally, with a focus on analyzing co-movement. Besides the geographical dimension, the paper will also look at the extent to which profitable momentum returns are prevalent in time and are not only confined to stocks, but are characteristic for much more asset classes. As such, the main contribution of the paper is the brief analysis of the pervasiveness of the momentum effect along three dimensions: geographical, temporal and across asset classes.

Download or read book The Momentum Effect Stock Markets written by Ahsan Zubair and published by LAP Lambert Academic Publishing. This book was released on 2015-03-03 with total page 80 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Traditional finance theory states that predictability of future stock prices and abnormal profit based on the trading strategies are impossible. But, a number of researchers during 1980's document that stock prices are predictable based on their past returns. In 1993, Jegadeesh and Titman discover medium term momentum in stock prices where past winners continue to outperform past losers by around 1% per month over the period of 3 to 12 months. After that numerous studies document that the momentum effect is a worldwide phenomenon. From different possible explanations of the momentum effect, it seems that neither risk related explanation nor data snooping and flawed methodology is able to provide widely excepted explanation of the phenomenon. The behavioural finance theory with the help of some models, however, appears to provide the best explanations for the momentum effect. These behavioural models are too many and none of these models is superior among others because each model individually contributes to explaining the momentum effect in different markets or different stock types.

Download or read book Behavioral Finance written by Lucy F. Ackert and published by South Western Educational Publishing. This book was released on 2010 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book begins by building upon the established, conventional principles of finance that you've have already learned in your principles course. The authors then move into psychological principles of behavioral finance, including heuristics and biases, overconfidence, emotion and social forces. You immediately see how human behavior influences the decisions of individual investors and professional finance practitioners, managers, and markets. You also gain a strong understanding of how social forces impact individuals' choices. The book clearly explains what behavioral finance indicates about observed market outcomes as well as how psychological biases potentially impact the behavior of managers. The book's solid academic approach provides opportunities for you to utilize theory and complete applications in every chapter as you learn the implications of behavioral finance on retirement, pensions, education, debiasing, and client management. The book spends a significant amount of time examining how today's practitioners can use behavioral finance to further their professional success.

Download or read book Quantitative Momentum written by Wesley R. Gray and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2016-10-03 with total page 215 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The individual investor's comprehensive guide to momentum investing Quantitative Momentum brings momentum investing out of Wall Street and into the hands of individual investors. In his last book, Quantitative Value, author Wes Gray brought systematic value strategy from the hedge funds to the masses; in this book, he does the same for momentum investing, the system that has been shown to beat the market and regularly enriches the coffers of Wall Street's most sophisticated investors. First, you'll learn what momentum investing is not: it's not 'growth' investing, nor is it an esoteric academic concept. You may have seen it used for asset allocation, but this book details the ways in which momentum stands on its own as a stock selection strategy, and gives you the expert insight you need to make it work for you. You'll dig into its behavioral psychology roots, and discover the key tactics that are bringing both institutional and individual investors flocking into the momentum fold. Systematic investment strategies always seem to look good on paper, but many fall down in practice. Momentum investing is one of the few systematic strategies with legs, withstanding the test of time and the rigor of academic investigation. This book provides invaluable guidance on constructing your own momentum strategy from the ground up. Learn what momentum is and is not Discover how momentum can beat the market Take momentum beyond asset allocation into stock selection Access the tools that ease DIY implementation The large Wall Street hedge funds tend to portray themselves as the sophisticated elite, but momentum investing allows you to 'borrow' one of their top strategies to enrich your own portfolio. Quantitative Momentum is the individual investor's guide to boosting market success with a robust momentum strategy.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Different investor types, thus appear to provide the best explanations for the momentum phenomenon. The behavioural models are, however, many and no single model is found to be superior. One possibility could be that all the models individually contribute to explaining the momentum effect, but that different models turn out to be superior in different markets or different types of stocks. This hypothesis, however, remains to be tested.

This book was released on 2022-12-03 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The search and investigation of stock market anomalies have always been a popular area of research among the academicians. The Efficient Market Hypothesis (EMH) that was once very well accepted and adored the most dominant place in the traditional finance theories, somehow, in recent times, the validity of the same has been questioned. The evidence of various stock market anomalies that document excess profit making opportunities resulted in critical re-examination of EMH. Probably the two most famous anomalies that have attracted the interest of both academicians and practitioners are the ones that are based on stocks return continuation (known as momentum effect) and long-term stock returns reversal (known as overreaction effect). Ever since DeBondt and Thaler (1985) and Jegadeesh and Titman (1993) drew attention towards the overreaction and momentum effect, these have remained as some of the most hotly debated anomalies in the academic literature. The investment strategies based on such continuation and long-term return reversal effects are commonly known as momentum and contrarian strategies, respectively. Both momentum and long-term reversal effect were found to persist in a majority of the out-of-sample tests using data from the U.S. as well as other developed stock markets across different time periods. Initially, most of the early investigations were based on the U.S. stock market, but gradually the investigation for the same spread out internationally to other developed stock markets. As a result, there exists a vast majority of literature supporting momentum and contrarian profitability in majority of the developed markets.

Book excerpt: Master's Thesis from the year 2013 in the subject Business economics - Banking, Stock Exchanges, Insurance, Accounting, grade: 1.3, University of Applied Sciences Essen, language: English, abstract: This work covers the momentum effect on financial markets and a trading strategy based on this effect. The research focuses on the German Stock Exchange data from the last decade. The data are divided into two sections in order to build two different types of virtual portfolios. One section contains the data of the DAX index, and the second section is filled with securities from the MDAX. Two hypotheses are to be verified. First, is momentum still available in a time of mass internet availability, like during the past decade? And second, is momentum stronger in MDAX due to smaller firm sizes and corresponding lower market efficiency?

Download or read book What causes Momentum Returns Evidence from different Asset Classes written by Fabian Hertel and published by GRIN Verlag. This book was released on 2022-03-21 with total page 30 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Seminar paper from the year 2021 in the subject Business economics - Investment and Finance, grade: 2,0, University of Münster, language: English, abstract: This paper discusses possible asset-specific and cross-asset explanation approaches for momentum appearance. The two main threads in literature, stock momentum and momentum of other assets, are discussed separately and subsequently checked for overlaps. The paper also deals with the definition of momentum as an anomaly itself in context of rational and behavioral concepts. It uncovers selected contrary observations and outlines possible conformities. Capital market anomalies are a phenomenon triggering ongoing debates about the trading behavior of investors on financial markets. They are contradicting the core ideas of the efficient market hypothesis (EMH), which considers financial markets efficient and investors rational and fully informed. One of the EMH key hypotheses, especially supported by Fama and by Samuelson, is the principle of random walk. If this principle holds, the prices of assets on financial markets are only influenced by public and firm-specific news, develop apart from that completely random and are not predictable. However, empirical observations question the random walk principle. They tend to indicate specific patterns in asset price developments instead of complete randomness. Doubts on the EMH and the random walk principle thus cannot be neglected. A common answer to these observations is the existence of additional risk factors which are currently not covered by the applied pricing models. Current asset pricing models mainly rely on Markowitz (1952) and the modern portfolio theory as well as on the Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM) from Sharpe (1964), Lintner (1965), and Mossin (1966). These models are rather a benchmark for asset pricing than perfect constructions covering all and any existing risk factors which are relevant for an assets price formation.

Download or read book The Momentum Effect in Country Level Stock Market Anomalies written by Adam Zaremba and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page 20 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The aim of this paper is to investigate the momentum effect in country-level anomalies in global equity markets. By using a sample of 78 countries for the period from 1995 to 2015, we test a set of potential 40 cross-sectional inter-market anomalies, some of which had never been examined before. Based on the findings, according to which half of these return patterns serve as reliable and robust sources of returns, we provide convincing evidence that the anomalies with good performance over the past 6-12 months tend to outperform in the future. Furthermore, the study shows that returns on individual country-level strategies are weakly correlated. Consequently, developing a portfolio consisting of past top-performing strategies may constitute a valuable approach for international investors.

Download or read book The Mind of Wall Street written by Leon Levy and published by PublicAffairs. This book was released on 2009-03-25 with total page 237 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As stock prices and investor confidence have collapsed in the wake of Enron, WorldCom, and the dot-com crash, people want to know how this happened and how to make sense of the uncertain times to come. Into the breach comes one of Wall Street's legendary investors, Leon Levy, to explain why the market so often confounds us, and why those who ought to understand it tend to get chewed up and spat out. Levy, who pioneered many of the innovations and investment instruments that we now take for granted, has prospered in every market for the past fifty years, particularly in today's bear market. In The Mind of Wall Street he recounts stories of his successes and failures to illustrate how investor psychology and willful self-deception so often play critical roles in the process. Like his peers George Soros and Warren Buffett, Levy takes a long and broad view of the rhythms of the markets and the economy. He also offers a provocative analysis of the spectacular Internet bubble, showing that the market has not yet completely recovered from its bout of "irrational exuberance." The Mind of Wall Street is essential reading for all of us, whether we are active traders or simply modest contributors to our 401(k) plans, as volatile and unnerving markets come to define so much of our net worth.
