Kalok Chan, Hameed, A., & Tong, W. (2000). Profitability of Momentum Strategies in the International Equity Markets.

An academic paper read by Sawyer Investment Management Company regarding the results of using momentum strategies with market indices outside of the US.



Abstract:
This paper examines the profitability of momentum strategies implemented on international stock market indices. Our results indicate statistically significant evidence of momentum profits. The momentum profits arise mainly from time-series predictability in stock market indices--very little profit comes from predictability in the currency markets. We also find higher profits for momentum portfolios implemented on markets with higher volume in the previous period, indicating that return continuation is stronger following an increase in trading volume. This result confirms the informational role of volume and its applicability in technical analysis.
