What is momentum investing?
Momentum investing is an optimisation strategy based on trends in the investment
environment. It is one of few approaches to consistently outperform
othersover the long term.
The key to momentum investing is identifying the latest trends, riding the best and
strongest until they’ve run their course or better opportunities arise. Due to the
time and data required to do momentum analysis, often only professional investors
and institutions have access to it.

No. 80‑20 Investor is a unique algorithm which enhances the power of
momentum investing. It considers other investment factors to risk-adjust
for the best performance. The numerical analysis 80‑20 Investor

as value investing, can also be effective so 80‑20 Investor provides
analysis on these too.
