Our proprietary system distills complex market data into clear, actionable insights that have been proven to drive superior returns. Factor investing has emerged as one of the most powerful tools for improving investment performance, backed by decades of academic research and real-world implementation by leading investment managers.

The Power of Percentile Rankings

Imagine knowing exactly how your target investment stacks up against every other stock in the market. With Benzinga's percentile rankings, you get precisely that. A score of 99 puts your stock in the top 1% of all companies for that factor – giving you the confidence to make informed investment decisions backed by data, not hunches. These rankings serve as standalone research tools and can be combined to identify companies that excel across multiple dimensions, offering unprecedented flexibility in portfolio construction.

Momentum: Ride the Wave of Success

Momentum stands as one of the most empirically supported yet least utilized factors in investing. Since Jegadeesh and Titman's groundbreaking 1993 paper documented significant positive returns from buying past winners and selling past losers, momentum has been proven effective across different asset classes, time periods, and geographical regions.

This persistent market anomaly challenges traditional financial theories, particularly the efficient market hypothesis. Its effectiveness stems from fundamental human behaviors that consistently manifest in market movements. Like a crowd gathering around a street performer, investors move in herds, amplifying existing trends. Markets digest information gradually rather than instantaneously, creating trending patterns. Additionally, confirmation bias leads investors to seek information that confirms their existing beliefs, making upward trends self-reinforcing.

Our Momentum ranking helps investors harness these powerful market dynamics. Rather than fighting market trends, momentum investing embraces them, much like a surfer catching and riding a wave. The strategy has demonstrated remarkable persistence over time, generating roughly 1% per month in excess returns in numerous academic studies.

The Benzinga Advantage

Traditional portfolio diversification, while important, may only partially protect against market-wide shocks. Our factor-based approach adds an essential layer of protection through factor diversification. By following a systematic, rules-based methodology, investors can minimize the impact of behavioral biases that often plague traditional investing approaches. Each factor in our system has demonstrated its ability to generate excess returns over time, and when combined, they create a powerful framework for portfolio optimization.

Benzinga's rankings transform vast amounts of market data into clear, actionable insights. Our system continuously updates to reflect market changes, providing investors with current, relevant information expressed in easy-to-understand percentile rankings.
