Momentum strategies may be more volatile, but the strong returns may be worth the ride
For everyday investors, some of the more popular types of stock portfolio strategies focus on either low volatility stocks, dividends, cash flow and value. Since these types of strategies are usually easy to understand, implementable, and can achieve the goals of growing a portfolio and minimizing risk, they are appropriate for many investors.
More aggressive-type strategies like momentum are often dismissed due to the risks and caveats associated with them. However, while it is true that momentum-based strategies come with traits such as increased volatility and higher turnover, they may have a place for a wide range of investors.
