Trendrating Smart Momentum Forewarned Likely Market Downturn across US, Europe and Asia

NEW YORK - Oct. 7, 2015 - PRLog -- New York, NY – October 7, 2015 -- Trendrating, a provider of innovative momentum factor analytics for global investment managers, announced today it is expanding the content of its monthly market intelligence reports and is making them available free on the company website, beyond its customer base. These reports accurately forewarned a likely Market Downturn across US, Europe and Asia, allowing fund managers critical time to act and reduce downside capture.

“Fund managers need better tools that can enhance performance and identify early market deterioration. Momentum analytics fill this gap. However, despite abundant academic evidence that momentum is a strong and persistent factor, a number of fund managers are still reluctant to add a momentum overlay to their strategies. The market intelligence reports we make available are designed to facilitate a better understanding and valuation of the merits of momentum as a valuable additional decision making element that brings discipline and objectivity,” said Rocco Pellegrinelli, Founder and CEO of Trendrating.

Demonstrating the value and effectiveness of this content, on June 17, Trendrating issued a report on the History of Bull Markets forewarning that an impending market correction was becoming statistically probable. Following the report, the Trendrating Smart Momentum model correctly identified the beginning of a market correction for US, European and Asian Stocks in the following weeks. In early August, Trendrating’s model issued a negative momentum rating for the Dow Industrial and the NYSE Composite, well ahead of the market plunge. These findings show that Trendrating’s self-adjusting Smart Momentum model can anticipate major reversals across stocks, ETFs and indices, supporting its strong track-record of spotting positive and negative trends faster to better manage long-term strategies and short-term volatility.

Elaborating on the power of Trendrating’s Momentum Analytics Platform, Varun Goenka at Reliance ADA, added: “We rely on Trendrating to monitor the momentum of the major global indices. When we started seeing "C" ratings being issued in June and July, it was a sign of a possible market correction. Trendrating helped us to assess our portfolio risk before panic set in.”

"Active fund managers are under pressure to deliver better performance, as only the minority have consistently outperformed the relevant benchmark the past three, five and 10 years.  Dismissing smart momentum intelligence as irrelevant is more and more difficult to justify. Fund management is about profiting from trends, and therefore, a solid momentum analysis should be part of best practice in making investment decisions,” said Mr. Pellegrinelli. “Some of the leading fund managers have realized this, and momentum investing is growing among Index providers, ETF issuers and fund managers in  alpha capture and smart beta strategies.  Trendrating’s technology and models are designed to support both, and we are committed to providing a solution with measurable impact on investment performance that redefines the concept of vendor technology ROI."
