主 旨 / Outline
“Nonparametric momentum strategies”
Nonparametric measures, such as rank and sign of daily returns, mitigate overreaction to extreme movements of stock prices.
As a result, nonparametric momentum strategies outperform both Jegadeesh and Titman’s (1993) price momentum and George and Hwang’s (2004) 52-week high momentum.
Nonparametric momentum profits, however, are not fully explained by common risk-based models such as the Carhart (1997) four-factor model or the macroeconomic factor model by Chen, Roll, and Ross (1986).
We demonstrate that nonparametric momentum performance is better explained by three representative behavioral dimensions: first, nonparametric momentum profits are less prominent among stocks with higher salience features; second, they are also larger among stocks that are subject to a higher degree of arbitrage risk; and third, the mispricing is more prevalent during periods of high investor sentiment.
