Stocks on the Move

More about the book

Beating the stock market isn’t as difficult as it seems, yet most mutual funds consistently underperform. Hedge fund manager Andreas F. Clenow reveals why this happens and how anyone can surpass mutual fund results. Momentum investing is one of the few reliable methods for consistently outperforming the markets. This guide provides insight into how established hedge funds achieve their success. The stock markets are often misunderstood; while buying and selling stocks appears straightforward, oversimplifications can lead to costly mistakes. Major stock indexes typically yield a return of five to six percent annually, but investors must endure significant losses and lengthy recovery periods. Although stocks generally appreciate over time, the reality is more complex. This book presents a rational approach to long-term investing, addressing the challenges of the stock markets. It explains how to potentially achieve double the market returns with lower risk. All strategies and details are thoroughly outlined, enabling readers to replicate the methods discussed. Clenow, the chief investment officer and partner of ACIES Asset Management in Zurich, has a rich background in IT and quantitative modeling, having founded and managed numerous hedge funds while overseeing asset management across various asset classes.
