Index Update 14.02.2016

MOMENTUM

We run our proprietary momentum scoring algorithm on indices just like we do on stocks. You can use the momentum scores of sub-indices to get a sense for which sectors have the wind on their backs and those that are facing headwinds.

Traders can pick their longs in sectors with high short-term momentum and their shorts in sectors with low momentum. Investors can use the longer lookback scores to position themselves using our re-factored index Themes.

You can see how the momentum algorithm has performed on individual stocks here.

Here are the best and the worst sub-indices:

FMCG/Consumption provided some “flight-to-safety” benefits. But the overall 50-day performance of different sub-sectors have been pretty grim.

The only bright spot was FMCG – probably aided by a flight to safety. It is brutal out there…
