This brief question-and-answer explains how to assess whether returns across factor-sorted groups are ordered. A factor analysis sorts stocks in a chosen universe by factor value and divides them into groups; the lowest-ranked factor values form the bottom…
This BigQuant example builds a mainland Chinese stock portfolio by screening for eligible main-board shares and excluding suspended, ST, and recently listed names. It requires positive trailing earnings and dividend yield, caps float market capitalization,…
This discussion compares high-frequency price and volume strategies with lower-frequency fundamental quant investing in China’s equity market. It argues that high-frequency approaches depend heavily on hardware and execution capabilities, while fundamental…
