This strategy aims to identify a mix of blue-chip stocks and lesser known companies that have been receiving a large amount of awards from the government.

While the largest and most unique government contracts catch the attention of media outlets, the majority of contracts are out of the spotlight due to the magnitude of government spending. The top recipients of government contracts often times have numerous contracts that slip out of the public eye due to many contracts being perceived as "business as usual" and therefore fail to attract headlines. The use of an exponential moving average with a half-life calculation favors companies that have recently been awarded contracts, giving the edge to companies that have a long-standing relationship with government agencies.
