Fama-French- und AQR-Faktoren zur Risikozuordnung nutzen

Code Machine Learning for Trading

Zusammenfassung

Dieser Leitfaden beschreibt öffentliche Datensätze zu Faktorrenditen aus der Ken French Data Library und von AQR, darunter Markt-, Größen-, Value-, Profitabilitäts-, Investitions-, Momentum-, Qualitäts- und Low-Beta-Faktoren. Er erläutert, wie Sie monatliche oder tägliche Beobachtungen herunterladen und laden, nach Datum filtern, Datenprofile prüfen und aus Monatsrenditen annualisierte Mittelwerte, Volatilität und Sharpe Ratios berechnen. Diese Reihen können Forschung zum Faktor-Investing, die Risikozuordnung und den Vergleich von Strategierenditen mit etablierten Risikopositionen unterstützen.

Das Dokument nennt den von den Anbietern definierten Faktorumfang und weist darauf hin, dass für die Quellen kein API-Schlüssel erforderlich ist. Es enthält weder empirische Faktorresultate noch einen Anbietervergleich und bewertet nicht, ob ein Faktor eine dauerhafte Prämie erzielt. Der Umfang variiert zwischen den AQR-Reihen; die French-Daten reichen weiter zurück. Die beschriebenen Statistiken sind einfache Zusammenfassungen und belegen für sich genommen weder Kausalität und Investierbarkeit noch Performance nach Handelskosten.

Kernaussagen

  • Fama-French-Datensätze enthalten Renditen für Markt-, Größen-, Value-, Profitabilitäts-, Investitions- und Momentumfaktoren.
  • AQR stellt alternative Faktorzeitreihen bereit, darunter Qualitäts- und Low-Beta-Faktoren.
  • Faktorrenditen können zum Vergleich von Strategien und zur Zuordnung von Risikopositionen verwendet werden.
  • Aus monatlichen Faktordaten lassen sich annualisierte Mittelwerte, Volatilitäten und Sharpe Ratios berechnen.
  • Datenumfang und Faktordefinitionen hängen vom Anbieter ab.

# maintains their own factor definitions and data format.
