Chinese Equity Industry Rotation with Momentum and Fundamentals

Summary

The document outlines a China equity industry-rotation strategy using the Shenwan Level 1 industry classification. It ranks industries with a composite momentum measure formed from recent 5-day, 20-day, and 60-day returns, weighted 0.4, 0.3, and 0.3. Each day, the strategy selects the three highest-ranked industries, then chooses the ten highest-scoring stocks within those industries. Stock scores combine equal-weight percentile ranks for return on equity, quarter-over-quarter growth in net profit attributable to parent shareholders, and price-to-book ratio, with the valuation factor ranked so lower values score better.

Selected stocks are bought at equal weights, with rebalancing every 10 days at the open. The stated backtest starts with 1 million in capital and specifies buy and sell commissions plus a minimum fee. The article asserts that the strategy produced long-term positive returns, but the performance metrics and supporting result details are missing from the text. It describes the approach as a reproduction with changes, yet provides no complete implementation or enough evidence to judge robustness, costs beyond the listed fees, or out-of-sample performance.

Key ideas

• The strategy uses Shenwan Level 1 industries as its changing equity universe.
• Industry momentum combines 5-day, 20-day, and 60-day returns with weights of 0.4, 0.3, and 0.3.
• It selects the three strongest industries and then ranks stocks using three fundamental factors.
• The portfolio holds selected stocks equally and rebalances every 10 days at the open.
• The article claims positive long-term backtest returns, but provides no performance metrics in the supplied text.
