In Australia, and around the world, momentum trading generates economically and statistically significant profits. This paper documents seasonalities in momentum profitability rather than examining returns averaged across all months. We report a strong reversal around the financial year end and apparent quarter-end seasonality in momentum profits. Preliminary tests support the hypothesis that seasonality in quarterly equity returns is driven by window dressing by institutional investors.
