High momentum ETFs are funds whose prices have been trending strongly upward. Academic research shows that assets with strong recent performance tend to continue performing well over the next several months.
Our momentum factor measures 2-12 month price trends relative to the broader ETF universe. Funds with the strongest relative strength receive the highest momentum scores.
Momentum strategies can experience sharp reversals during market regime changes. We recommend combining momentum analysis with cost, performance, and liquidity factors — which is why we show composite scores alongside momentum.
