- How can a mutual fund manager who follows a momentum trading strategy expect to earn above - average return 1. Provided the stock price has been decreasing below the mean reversion point and other investors follow a mean reversion strategy the fund manager is likely to earn an above average return 2. If the fund manager follows a momentum strategy and buys a stock as the price is increasing while other investors follow a mean reversion strategy, then it is likely the stock price will continue to rise 3. Provided the stock price have been rising above the mean reversion point and other investors follow a mean reversion strategy, the fund manager is likely to earn an above average return 4.
