A Chinese Equities Portfolio Ranked by Size and Trading Behavior Factors

Summary

This performance note describes Haitong’s broad-market multi-factor portfolio, which scores Chinese stocks using factors related to company size and trading behavior. It selects the 100 highest-scoring stocks for an equal-weight portfolio, with holdings chosen periodically. The report says the current portfolio began on September 3 and refers readers to earlier reports for historical holdings.

For the period through September 28, it reports weekly and monthly returns and comparisons with several Chinese market benchmarks. The reported figures show that results differed across the full portfolio, its top-50 subset, and the benchmark indices; they represent a short historical snapshot rather than evidence of persistent advantage. The note flags changing market conditions and changes in factor effectiveness as risks. It gives no factor definitions, scoring weights, turnover or transaction-cost assumptions, or detailed test methodology, limiting independent evaluation and replication.
