Momentum 60/40 portfolio

Last updated Mar 21, 2023

This momentum portfolio seeks to outperform the classical 60/40 stocks/bonds portfolio by reassessing asset allocation every month and giving more weight to the asset class that performed better. For example, if stocks showed better return than bonds in the past six months, their weight in the portfolio increases by +5% during the next rebalance, and bonds' weight is reduced by -5%. The portfolio is rebalanced on the last trading day of every month.
