Such a <strong>performance<\/strong> shows the direction in which a share has moved within a selected period of time and the momentum it is taking. Negative momentum occurs when the price of a share falls. Positive momentum occurs when it rises. And the more pronounced it rises, the <strong>more potential<\/strong> the upward trend has.<\/p>\n<p>With the momentum strategy, we use precisely these <strong>trend strengths<\/strong> and invest in the so-called '<strong>winners<\/strong>' on the financial markets.

We know from experience that the <b>probability of a trend continuation <\/b>is higher than a trend reversal. Even so-called sideways trends, which 'reduce' profits in a trend-following strategy, are<b> rarer<\/b> than upward or downward trends.<\/p>\n<p>This in turn is sometimes due to the fact that an upward trend always benefits from <b>herd instinct<\/b>. So when a share rises, the price picks up speed as more and more buyers invest in it. This creates 'momentum'.<\/p>\n<p>However, since every trend is also subject to a finite period, we ensure <b>continuous monitoring<\/b> of the momentum strategy for you.[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text text_direction='default']\n<h2>Implementing a momentum strategy \u2013 with Point Capital<\/h2>\n<p>At Point Capital, we implement the trend strategy for equities as part of our <a href=\"https:\/\/pointcapital.ch\/en\/?p=5731\">asset management<\/a>.
