Abstract
Abstract: Momentum investment strategy is one of the axes which challenges Efficient Market Hypothesis that is one of the fundamental paradigms in modern finance. Investment in growth and value stocks is also one of the scholar axes about studying strategies generating surplus return in the market. The statistical population in this research is the whole firms have been accepted in Tehran Stock Exchange. The firms have been categorized based on the measure of Book-to-Market Ratio (BTM) and then their performance was studied. Therefore, this research aims to study the impact of BTM (as a measure for differentiating between growth and value stocks) on the profitability of momentum investment strategy in Tehran Stock Exchange. The research was conducted during 2004-2014 and a sample of 40 firms was chosen from all accepted firms in Tehran Stock Exchange by the knockout method. The results indicated that in the mentioned period, differential return of winning and losing portfolio has been positive and this indicated positive profitability of momentum investment strategy in both growth and value stocks.
