SPMO: Momentum Style Is Losing Momentum As Rotation Grows
Momentum factor funds have performed very well YoY, with SPMO rising twice as fast as the S&P 500 due to its exposure to the "AI trade." As Nvidia, Apple, Microsoft, and others dominate SPMO, it is more exposed to the risk of a burst of the retail-driven "AI bubble." Low individual investor cash allocations may be a solid bearish indication for stocks that are more popular among individual investors.
