In his last book, \u003ci\u003eQuantitative Value\u003c\/i\u003e, 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 \u003ci\u003enot\u003c\/i\u003e: 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. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSystematic 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.

Value investors generally buy cheap out-of-favor stocks, while momentum investors buy stocks with strong price trends. But the behavioral biases and career concerns that drive expected excess returns for value investors are the key mechanisms also driving the long-term sustainability of momentum. \u003ci\u003eQuantitative Momentum\u003c\/i\u003e fully explores exactly how and why systematic momentum investing is a powerful strategy, arguing that momentum investing is potentially more potent than value investing.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eA long-held secret of Wall Street hedge funds, and other investors savvy about behavioral finance, is that momentum investing was never a \"growth\" strategy—it is, and always has been, a historically successful practice that investors should buy winners, regardless of their growth prospects. With the rigor and educational sensibilities author Wesley Gray used to deliver \u003ci\u003eQuantitative Value,\u003c\/i\u003e the bible on systematic value investing, \u003ci\u003eQuantitative Momentum \u003c\/i\u003eis a first-of-its-kind guidebook for the individual investor looking to build a stock-picking platform based on momentum. Specifically, the momentum approach identified is ideal for balancing a deep value portfolio and helps to shorten the multi-year relative underperformance of both stand-alone strategies. See how it works for yourself on an accompanying website featuring tools for finding the momentum stocks described inside, additional research, and access to a dynamic community that follows advances in quantitative investing. Written to empower investors through education, this practical system unfolds in micro-lessons of narrative advice and guidance reinforced by illustrative examples that fully prepare you to do the following: \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUnderstand how and why momentum strategies may or may not work in the future\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eForm a portfolio of stocks based on evidence-based momentum stock- selection signals\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eTactically deploy a momentum stock portfolio in the context of a broader investment portfolio\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003eLook no further than \u003ci\u003eQuantitative Momentum\u003c\/i\u003e to inject PhD-level research and sophistication into your portfolio.  \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePraise for \u003ci\u003eQuantitative Momentum\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\"In our own research, we have found that the predictive price return momentum pattern persists backward in time for hundreds of years in equities and for extended out-of-sample settings for other classes of assets.
