Continuing Education – Momentum / Growth-investing Special Interest Group

Group members would explore and study in the following areas:

  • Leading indicators: Identify patterns, metrics to provide better visibility of future market trend
  • How to deal with market volatility: Strong bull stocks will continue their advance and may even become overvalued over time. However, those stocks could abruptly transform into bear stocks if one parameter is missed. A typical illustration of this type of market behavior is Tesla. It is therefore important for group members to identify what should be the right investment strategies
  • Risk management: Besides portfolio diversification, group members are to discuss what are the best tools to hedge against the risk of their holdings
