FTSE Hedge Momentum Index

A new addition to the series, the FTSE Hedge Momentum Index is an investment strategy index designed to outperform the underlying FTSE Hedge Index. This is achieved by over or underweighting constituent funds according to whether or not they demonstrate persistent positive returns (momentum). Over a six year period the FTSE Hedge Momentum Index has returned a 10.1% annualised performance, representing a 3.9% outperformance over and above the FTSE Hedge Index.
