Share

When evaluating strategies that the common investor could benefit from, we considered the following:

1

Simplicity – The strategy had to be simple to understand, implement and follow

2

Fit – Whether the strategy fits with the overall rules-based investment approach

3

Engagement – Should be an engaging and rewarding experience for users.

4

Returns or Performance – Is it possible to produce excess returns against a benchmark index such as the NIFTY500, S&P500

We landed on the momentum strategies as the first to address as it meets all the above criteria. We backtested the momentum strategies and the performance of the strategies is shown below.

As you can see in the above charts, the momentum strategies outperform the underlying index in the time chosen for the backtesting.
