Monthly Stock Momentum Tilts for CSI 300 Index Enhancement

Summary

This portfolio overlay begins with CSI 300 constituents whose index weights exceed 0.35%. At the start of each month, it measures each eligible stock’s return over the previous 21 trading days, approximately one month. Stocks with positive returns are treated as having momentum, and their portfolio weights are increased by 0.2 percentage points; stocks with negative returns have their weights reduced by the same amount.

The document presents the rule as an index enhancement approach, but supplies no benchmark comparison, historical results, risk measures, or details about how adjusted weights are normalized or constrained. It also does not specify transaction costs, turnover controls, or treatment of stocks with zero returns. As a result, the description communicates a simple monthly momentum tilt but is insufficient to judge whether it improves returns after implementation costs or how it behaves across market regimes.

Key ideas

• The eligible universe is CSI 300 constituents with index weights above 0.35%.
• At each month’s start, the strategy classifies stocks using returns over the prior 21 trading days.
• Positive-return stocks receive a 0.2 percentage point weight increase, while negative-return stocks receive an equal decrease.
• The description gives no performance data or rules for weight normalization, costs, or risk controls.
