description This article examines performance of momentum portfolios in Latin America. Conventional momentum produces zero risk-adjusted returns. Residual and model-based momentum strategies are also unable to deliver positive and significant risk-adjusted performance. A third or absolute strength momentum strategy based on historical returns obtains positive and significant alphas only when controlling for market, size, and value factors.
