DOWN THE STRETCH, MOMENTUM INCREASES ITS LEAD
When it comes to major style factors that have historically driven portfolio returns, Momentum is the horse that's leading the pack this year.
And since September 17, the day before the Fed's first rate cut in more than four years, Momentum has increased its lead.
Major investing style factors include stocks discounted to their fundamentals (Value), financially-sound companies (Quality), size (Small Caps), stable, lower-risk stocks (Low Volatility), and stocks exhibiting upward price trends (Momentum).
To this, let's add in as separate factors Mid- and Large-Caps, high-growth companies (Growth), and those stocks that provide income (Dividends).
The SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust SPY.P is up 19.7% year-to-date (YTD).
Here is a graphic showing YTD factor percentage changes as well as how they have performed vs the SPY (factor/SPY ratio change):
Momentum MTUM.Z is out front with a 28.9% YTD advance. It's followed by Growth SPYG.P up 25.8%. Quality QUAL.Z, up 21.3%, rounds out the top three. All of these groups are outperforming the SPY this year.
Large Caps SCHX.P are up 19.3%, which puts them just off the SPY's YTD pace.
Low Volatility SPLV.P (+14.4%), Value SPYV.P (+12.9%), Dividends NOBL.Z (+11.7%), Mid Caps IJH.P (+11.6%), and Small Caps IWM.P (+8.4%) are all positive for the year, but are underperforming the SPY.
Of note, since September 17, the day before the Fed delivered its rate cut, Momentum has increased its lead, adding 2.6% over the last 11 trading days.
Growth is up 1.5% over this period, while the SPY and Large Caps have both added 1%.
Quality, Dividends, Mid Caps, Value, and Low Volatility are all positive, but have underperformed the SPY since the day before the rate cut.
Small caps are the only style factor that has lost ground since September 17. The IWM is down 0.8% over this period.
In any event, traders will continue to cheer on these style factors as they head down the stretch into year-end 2024.
