We study the asset-allocation consequences of momentum in a complete-markets setting starting from a novel continuous-time model in which the state variable is a weighted average of current and past returns on stocks. We isolate and discuss three clear effects of momentum on the optimal demand for stocks: the speculative effect, the conditional-hedge effect, and the unconditional-hedge effect.

Abstract

We study the asset-allocation consequences of momentum in a complete-markets setting starting from a novel continuous-time model in which the state variable is a weighted average of current and past returns on stocks. We isolate and discuss three clear effects of momentum on the optimal demand for stocks: the speculative effect, the conditional-hedge effect, and the unconditional-hedge effect.
