4 Solid Momentum Plays Based on Driehaus Strategy

Investors who have the tendency to take a high level of risk can choose momentum stocks. In this context, we have focused on the Driehaus strategy — based on the “buy high and sell higher" principle — to select the best momentum stocks. The success of this particular investment approach eventually helped Richard Herman Driehaus secure a place in Barron’s All-Century Team.

The American Association of Individual Investors (AAII) proved that the strategy has the potential to offer high returns. Thus, investors with a high-risk appetite might give the Driehaus strategy a thought to boost returns.

A Look at Driehaus’ Strategy

After a detailed study of the Driehaus’ strategy, AAII concluded that it mainly focuses on strong earnings growth rates and impressive prospects to pick the potential outperformers. While this strategy was made to provide better returns over the longer haul, companies with a strong history of beating estimates were also given importance.

“I would much rather invest in a stock that’s increasing in price and take the risk that it may begin to decline than invest in a stock that’s already in a decline and try to guess when it will turn around,” Driehaus had said in an interview.
