Abstract

We explore the missing momentum effect in the Chinese stock market from the perspective of individual investor preference. Creating a comprehensive individual investor preference index to investigate the missing momentum effect, we find that the momentum effect diminishes toward absence in Chinese-market stocks with particularly high-levels of individual investor preference. In contrast, momentum manifests with decreases in individual investor preference. Contributing to the literature, we provide a new explanation of the missing momentum effect.
