In sum, stocks or sectors that have a strong trend in one direction and then a sharp reversal can result in a performance drag that can adversely affect the performance of cap-weighted indexes. Fundamental weighting doesn't explicitly target value stocks, but it can deliver similar exposure to traditional value index funds.

Additionally, we have shown that investment strategies employing momentum and contrarian effects achieve abnormal risk-weighted rates of return in comparison to the S&P500 B&H strategy (taken as a benchmark of classical markets) and, in many parametrisation variants, the cryptocurrency market benchmarks as well. The investigated investment strategies involve 100 (amongst over 1200 present as of date Nov 2017) cryptocurrencies with the largest market cap and average 14-day daily volume exceeding a given threshold value.
