Abstract

This paper investigates the profitability of momentum-based trading strategies pursued during the most recent economic downturns in global equity markets. In contrast to previous studies, it reveals that such strategies generated statistically significant negative returns during the most recent recessions. These “momentum crashes” happen during market reversals following exceptionally large market declines, as occurred in March and April 2009.
