  1. This table reports the factor construction of 1-month MA across 3- to 24-month MA. We consider these periods because they have quarterly, semiannual, and annual critical points. Panel A presents the double MA factor with no filters. Panel B reports the double MA factor in the top 70% cap stocks, and Panel C presents the double MA factor above 5 CNY. Samples are from Jan 2002 to Jun 2020. The average returns are presented as percentages.
