Every investment strategy operates differently, tailored to specific risk-reward profiles and objectives. Just like how different models of cars have varying engine tunings for performance or fuel efficiency, investment strategies are tuned for specific purposes. For instance, momentum-based strategies share the same core principles of buying winners and selling losers but may differ in how frequently they assess stocks, how aggressively they cut losses, and how well diversified they are.
The Case of Tanla Platforms
Consider the case of Tanla Platforms, a stock that soared from Rs87 to Rs1000 within months, yielding an impressive 800% gain. While this stock performed exceptionally well in one strategy, it didn’t appear in many others. There are several reasons for this. It could be that the stock didn’t meet the volume criteria for certain strategies or wasn’t part of their universe. Each strategy has its unique selection criteria.
After exiting Tenla Platforms at Rs790, the stock surged again, reaching Rs2000. However, some strategies, like absolute momentum ones, may have missed this opportunity due to their specific rules for adding new stocks. While luck plays a role in investment success, momentum investing primarily relies on analytical and quantitative factors.
The beauty of momentum investing lies in its ability to capitalize on opportunities as they arise, maximizing gains while minimizing downside risks.
