Screening Chinese Metaverse Stocks by Institutional Flow
Summary
The document describes a Chinese A-share screening rule that selects stocks associated with the metaverse theme, requires a positive institutional-flow indicator, and excludes securities with specified Beijing-related code prefixes. It provides both a platform formula and a Python example using stock, institutional trading, and investor data. The code calculates net institutional values, ranks entries for a selected trading date, combines the data sets, and applies the exclusion rule.
The accompanying rationale argues that metaverse exposure may offer growth potential and that institutional buying could inform selection. It also acknowledges risks: industry classification and company assessments may be wrong, excluding a region can remove opportunities, and broad market declines may overwhelm the screen. Suggested refinements include combining the screen with valuation or other fundamental measures and excluding companies facing serious legal or regulatory issues. No backtest, return series, benchmark, or evidence of predictive performance is supplied, so the proposed rationale remains an unvalidated hypothesis. The sample code’s data date and indicator construction also make the method dependent on data availability and implementation choices.
Key ideas
- The screen combines metaverse exposure with positive institutional flow and excludes selected Beijing stock codes.
- The example derives institutional net flow from trading data and ranks stocks by a net-value measure.
- The document proposes valuation, governance, legal, and regulatory filters as possible refinements.
- It warns that regional exclusions can reduce the opportunity set and market declines can impair results.
- No backtest or evidence that the screening conditions predict returns is provided.
