Abstract: Purpose - This study aims to recognize the current dynamics, prolific contributors and salient trends and propose future research directions in the area of alternative momentum investing. Design/methodology/approach - The study uses a blend of electronic database and forward reference searching to ensure the incorporation of all the significant studies. With the help of the Scopus database, the present study retrieves 122 research papers published from 1999 to 2020. Findings - The results reveal that alternative momentum investing is an emerging area in the field of momentum investing. However, this area has witnessed an exponential growth in last ten years. The study also finds that North American, West European and East Asian countries dominate in total research publications. Through network citation analysis, the study identifies five major clusters: industrial momentum, earnings momentum, 52-week high momentum, time-series momentum and risk-managed momentum. Research limitations/implications - The present review will serve as a guide for financial researchers who intend to work on alternative momentum approaches. The study proposes several unexplored research themes in alternative momentum investing on which future studies can focus. Originality/value - The study embellishes the existing literature on momentum investing by contributing the first bibliometric review on alternative momentum approaches.
