This report explains a value-versus-growth rotation strategy built around the idea that returns can come from deliberate exposure to style factors as well as broad market risk. It links shifts in style leadership to investor sentiment and risk appetite,…

This review describes a Bayesian dynamic panel model for evaluating US mutual fund performance and its persistence. The model allows fund returns to have time-varying variance and covariance, cross-fund dependence, serial correlation, latent volatility, and…

This document summarizes Zhongtai’s annual outlook for 2022, presenting views on Chinese and U.S. markets, policy, liquidity, and sector opportunities. It anticipates gradual easing in China’s property stance without a full housing-cycle restart, a…

The report combines risk parity with the Black-Litterman framework to build stock-and-bond and broader multi-asset portfolios. It uses risk-parity weights as the prior allocation, short-term momentum as an investment view, and Black-Litterman to estimate…

This article argues that during Chinese sector rallies, a highly visible limit-up leader may serve as an attention and sentiment anchor while larger positions are accumulated or exited across less prominent related stocks. It describes a sequence in which…

The report examines how index-enhancement funds generate returns above their benchmarks. It separates active returns into industry selection, stock selection within industries, and their interaction, then compares stock selection within index constituents…

The document discusses how to evaluate a stock factor using portfolios formed by sorting stocks on factor values. In a long–short comparison, the return spread is calculated between the group ranked highest by the factor and the group ranked lowest by the…

This discussion concerns adapting a stock-ranking template to use financial factors in a machine-learning strategy. The author describes a forward-return label based on buying at the next day’s open and selling at the close five trading days later, then asks…

This proposed short-term A-share strategy selects ordinary shares that have closed at the daily limit for two consecutive sessions and belong to concepts ranking near the top by both recent three-session and fifteen-session returns. It excludes specified…

The document describes a proposed equity screen that starts with executive share-change announcements and then ranks eligible stocks using multiple factors. At each rebalance, the investor would look for relevant announcements published between the current…

The document explains what a useful volatility model should capture: volatility clustering and persistence, eventual mean reversion, asymmetric responses to positive and negative return shocks, effects from external variables and scheduled events, and…

This document introduces convertible bonds as instruments combining debt with an option to convert into the issuer’s shares. It outlines core contract features: face value, conversion price and period, coupon, conditional early redemption, and investor put…
