Resumo: This is the individual component of a “Quantitative Investment Strategy” Field Lab project. The purpose of this project is to create a practical and profitable cross-sectional momentum strategy in cryptocurrencies. The results show the existence of cross-sectional momentum both in and out of the sample, which is further enhanced through volatility scaling by using GARCH estimates. This provides a good method for containing cryptocurrency volatility. The strategy also demonstrates abnormal returns when tested against cryptocurrency and equity sources of risk. In the common part of the project, three individual strategies are combined through mean-variance allocation methods achieving even superior results.
