Turnover velocity is:
the ratio between the turnover of domestic shares and their market capitalization. The value is annualized by multiplying the monthly moving average by 12, according to the following formula :
Monthly Domestic Share Turnover
__________________________ *12Month-end Domestic Market Capitalization
Only domestic shares are used in order to be consistent.
Turnover velocity is calculated in 2 steps :
- step 1 : we first calculate for each month the annualized ratio between the domestic share turnover and the domestic market capitalization, multiplied by 12 ;
- step 2 : then, we add together, using a moving average methodology, the percentage ratios obtained in step 1, divided by 12.
