Building initial portfolio based on momentum. Workday seems like a strong long opportunity based on its recent positive short-term momentum.

Our investment strategy consists of buying the top 10 performing stocks of the Nasdaq 100 index, and short-selling the 10 worst-performing stocks of the same index. We chose the companies based on their performance in the last 3 months. Due to a holding period of only one month, we believe that a passive strategy is more appropriate than an active strategy. The weight of each company in our portfolio will be approximately equal, which increases diversification benefits of this portfolio. We will use almost all available debt in order to benefit from the additional expected returns from leverage.

Passive investment strategy | The Global 100 -list of sustainable stocks | Chosen 30 stocks from 9 individually weighted sectors, equal weights within sectors | Stocks available in NYSE or NASDAQ | Part of the IT sector | The Global 100 rank 77 in year 2020

Firms are allocated to the portfolio based on the momentum investment strategy: all firms are from the NASDAQ-100 Technology sector index which was sorted by YTD (year to date) price development. The fund decided to go long in all firms which had YTD returns of over 15% on 30th of October. $1,500,000 was divided with equal weights between the 47 stocks. Rank: 28
