Abstract

The aim of this paper is to investigate whether there is the momentum effect across 23 indices-level anomaly in Amman Stock Exchange (ASE). This study also compares and contrasts the momentum strategy with both early-stage and late-stage momentum strategies. By using a sample of 23 Jordanian indices for the period from 2005 to 2015, this paper provide economically large momentum profits over the past 6, 9 and 12 months tend to outperform in the future. In addition, this study provides convincing evidence that late-stage momentum strategy consistently generates stronger profits than does the traditional momentum strategy. Although the CAPM model can explain the momentum profits, late-stage momentum strategy cannot completely explained by the CAPM model.
