The unbearable momentum of momentum

  • Multiple markets are in melt-up – and for fifteen years, momentum has trumped mean reversion
  • This feels instinctively unhealthy, and rightly so: crowding and herding really are at extremes across asset classes
  • But it is not the sell signal it seems – neither for indices, nor for Momentum itself
  • What crowding changes is the tail, not the trend: the real risk is a correlation spike
