Dynamic Factor Weights Red Devil Partners Joon Seong Choi, Youngjun Yoo, Richard Park, YK Kim
Overview • Our purpose is to develop a stock selection strategy in order to outperform S&P 500. • Our analysis includes both fixed and dynamic factor weights.
Steps • Specify list of factors • Univariate screens • Identify 5 fractiles for each factor • Choose significant portfolios • Optimize weights for portfolios with S&P500 volatility • Compare fixed weight strategy and dynamic weight strategy
Identified factors • Factors (1m lagged) - Cashflow to Price - Debt to Equity - Market Capitalization - Price to Book
Factor Screen Cashflow to Price(5) : value weighted Debt to Equity(5) : value weighted Market Cap(1) : equal weighted Price to Book(5) : equal weighted
Optimization: fixed weights • Form a portfolio with same volatility of S&P500
Dynamic weight strategy Add dummy variables 3 months S&P500 momentum In negative momentum, buy more portfolio with negative correlation with S&P500 (Price to book (5))
Optimization: dynamic weights • Form a dynamic portfolio with same volatility of S&P500
Conclusion Multi-factor model strategy outperforms universe return (e.g. S&P500) Dynamic weight strategy outperform fixed weight strategy Future consideration: Transaction cost should be considered to evaluate strategies
