The momentum strategy, which consists of buying securities in the winner quintile and selling securities in the loser quintile each month, was combined with the volatility based timing strategy. The results show that a combined portfolio can generate better results regarding Sharpe Ratio statistics. The research was undertaken within the United Kingdom (1991/01 until 2022/12). In the group part, diverse strategies were combined to form three portfolios: Equal-Weighted, Tangency and Global Minimum Variance to provide valuable insights for investors seeking to optimize their portfolios.engFinancial marketsQuantitative investment strategiesVolatility timingMomentumUnited KingdomPortfolio optimizationmaster thesis203865847
