📊 Multi-Factor Quantitative Equity Strategy

Daily Signal Report | 2026-04-23 00:32 | Target: 15% Return on 6-Month Forward Basis

đź“– How This Strategy Works

1. Factor Calculation

For each stock in the universe (20 US large-caps / 20 HK stocks), we calculate 4 factor categories using 60 days of OHLCV data:

  • Momentum (40%): 1-month return, 3-month return, momentum acceleration (change in 1M over 10 days), trend strength ((Price-MA14)/ATR14)
  • Technical (25%): RSI(14), Bollinger Band position, relative volatility ratio
  • Risk (20%): 20-day realized volatility — lower vol scores higher (inverse ranking)
  • Sentiment (15%): Volume spike ratio (today vs 20-day average)

2. Cross-Sectional Ranking

Each factor is converted to a percentile rank (0 to 1) across all universe stocks:

  • Stocks are sorted by each factor value
  • Rank percentile = position / (N-1), where N = universe size
  • For volatility: lower values rank higher (inverse)
  • Composite = 40%Ă—Momentum + 25%Ă—Technical + 20%Ă—Risk + 15%Ă—Sentiment

3. Portfolio Construction

  • Global: Top 10 composite scores → equal-weight (10% each)
  • HK: Top 5 composite scores → equal-weight (20% each)
  • Rebalance trigger: every 20 trading days OR if turnover > 50%
  • Transaction cost assumed: 15 bps per trade

4. Backtest & Evaluation Framework

Backtest Period: April 2024 – April 2026 (24 months) using daily closing prices.
Rebalancing: Every 20 trading days (~monthly) with 15 bps transaction cost.
Performance Metrics: NAV (Base=100), Alpha (annualized excess return vs benchmark), Beta (market sensitivity), Sharpe Ratio (risk-adjusted return), Max Drawdown (peak-to-trough decline), Win Rate (% of positive days).
Risk Management: Strategy pauses if current drawdown exceeds -12%. All hypothetical results — not financial advice.
