This document summarizes long-run performance of Chinese equity factor portfolios and compares their results across market, economic, interest-rate, and volatility regimes. It reports that the portfolios had positive long-term returns, with size and…

This forum post raises a factor-data debugging question: why can an industry-neutralized price-to-book factor contain missing values when the raw factor appears complete? It identifies an industry-neutralization function applied using a first-level industry…

This report surveys hedging choices for U.S. equity portfolios during drawdowns and recessions, drawing on a historical sample from 1985 through 2018. It contrasts rolling index puts and short credit risk with Treasury and gold exposures, then examines…

This article proposes a qualitative decision framework based on comparing broad market strength with the strength of individual stocks. It organizes conditions into four cases: when both market and stock are strong, favor stock exposure; when the market is…

The document introduces cointegration as a long-run relationship in which individually nonstationary series can have a linear combination that is stationary. It explains stationarity through stable statistical properties over time and contrasts it with…

The article argues that mean and variance alone may miss information when market returns depart from a stable Gaussian pattern. It describes higher moments, especially odd-order moments, as potentially useful timing signals: their values reportedly expand…
