Returns of Jitta Ranking 2021 win most stock markets

Happy New Year 2022 and welcome to the 3rd year of the Covid-19 pandemic. 

Throughout 2021, the Covid-19 crisis has yet to end, but it doesn’t mean that the global economies and stock markets would stagnate because every country can better adapt to the new rounds of epidemic coming with mutated viruses and speed up vaccination. 

We could say that 2021 was the year of economic recovery. Most of all stock markets have turned favorably and grown at a higher rate after the economic downturn in 2020. The stock market indices expanded positively and some markets even made all-time highs many times in 2021. 

It reflected that every country has experienced and learned from the first round of the pandemic. People have known how to deal with problems when there is a new spread. Everyone can live with and take care of themselves very well. 

In the investment circle, investors around the world have a better attitude towards the stock markets even with fluctuations, impacts from news and movements throughout the year. They have experience and can deal with situations better. 

In summary, the overview of the year 2021 improved with sloppiness and fostered all economic and investment mechanisms to move forward. 

Jitta stock analysis platform continues to develop better algorithms and AI in order to analyze company financial statements and find ‘a good stock selling at a fair price’. In 2021, Jitta added 6 stock markets from South Korea, France, Russia, Sweden, Malaysia and Indonesia. As a result, there were a total of 19 countries around the world within our service by the end of 2021. 

At the end of last year, we updated the algorithm to the 4.0 version to make Jitta AI more accurate in identifying ‘a good stock at a fair price’ and rank them in Jitta Ranking in a bid to generate higher returns than previous versions by putting more weight on the analysis of financial statements from the last 4 quarters or the past 12 months (Trailing Twelve Months – TTM).

This new algorithm has been in effect since the start of the year 2022 as you can see from the backtest result that the latest algorithm is able to generate higher average returns in Jitta Ranking Top 30 by another 1-2% across all stock markets. You can read a more detailed explanation of the new Jitta algorithm here

2021 Returns of global stock market indices  

The light at the end of the tunnel of the Covid-19 crisis is medicines and vaccines which, in 2021, you surely heard of many rounds of progress in research and development in the global healthcare sector. At the same time, the viruses are constantly being mutated totaling 5 strains, and there are many new rounds of an epidemic occurring repeatedly in several regions. 

Based on past lessons and experiences, events in the year 2021 were easier for many people than what happened in 2020, just like the stock markets around the world. The stock markets around the world have been stepping into recovery. The overview of stock markets in 2021 ended more favorably than expected.

Jitta team will add 4 more stock markets on the platform – Italy, the Netherlands, Brazil and the United Arab Emirates in 2022, making a total of 23 countries that Jitta covers. So the team has added these new countries to the latest algorithm for testing in order to calculate the 2021 global stock market index returns. 

Jitta Ranking

As you can see, Most of all 23 stock market indices 2021 yielded positive returns. This reflected an obvious image of market recovery after the pandemic in line with the global economic upturn. Loosening the lockdown, investments began to flow back into stock markets around the world. Investors around the world were optimistic that this crisis was solvable and about to pass.

  • The 2021 stock market index returns from 23 countries were averaged +18.65%
  • There were 19 stock markets with positive returns, representing 82.61% of the stock market on Jitta platform. 
  • There were 4 stock markets with negative returns, representing 17.39% of the markets on Jitta platform. 
  • The top 3 stock market indices with the highest return were; 
    • Vietnam (VNI) +35.73% 
    • Sweden (OMXS30) +29.07% 
    • France (CAC40) +28.85% 
  • The last 3 stock market indices with the lowest returns were; 
    • Hong Kong (HSI) -14.08% 
    • Brazil (IBOV) -11.93% 
    • China (CSI300) -5.20% 

It could be seen that a few stock markets such as China and Hong Kong are under pressure from the Chinese government’s scrutiny of business in the technology sector and the real estate crisis, resulting in the higher volatility of China and Hong Kong stock indices, and thus yielded negative returns. Investors avoided investing in Chinese and Hong Kong stocks last year.

The most flourishing stock market index of 2021 was Vietnam from its strong economic fundamentals, benefiting from supply-chain relocation of many world-class companies, growing export sector and expanding private consumption while the stock market index is soaring. Despite experiencing a new round of Covid-19 pandemic, the VNI index set many new highs throughout 2021.

  2. VNI of Vietnam is also gathering with big caps. Over the past several years, the Vietnam stock market has been extremely growing. In the year of 2021, VNI hit a new high of 4 times, mobilized by Vietnam’s big-cap stocks. 

But the principle of Jitta platform is to analyze and identify ‘a good stock at a fair price’, so the goal of AI and algorithms is finding stocks with sound business quality, strong financial statements selling at undervalued prices. 

The 5-year compound average returns represent a medium-term investment. The work of AI and algorithms on Jitta platform still beats most of the stock market indices, the VI investment goal is compound average returns to beat the stock market indices in the longer run.
