Understanding Beta and Momentum Investing

The beta of a portfolio is a measure of its risk, or how much it can go up or down relative to the market. We focus on high-beta stocks which have a tendency to go up. Thus whenever the market moves by X, we tend to move by 1.2 times X

Momentum is the tendency for a stock or other asset to continue moving in the same direction it has been moving in. It has been a time-tested observed phenomenon.

Therefore, to generate the alpha, we combine a selection of high-momentum stocks into a concentrated portfolio of 10 stocks which results in a high beta and thus, a higher return than the benchmark
