Quantitative Models and Construction Methods - **Model Name**: Maximized Factor Exposure Portfolio (MFE) **Construction Idea**: The MFE portfolio is designed to maximize single-factor exposure while controlling for various real-world constraints such as industry exposure, style exposure, stock weight deviation, and turnover rate. This approach ensures the factor's predictive effectiveness under practical constraints [40][41][42] **Construction Process**: The optimization model is formulated as follows: $\begin{array}{ll}max&f^{T}\ w\\ s.t.&s_{l}\leq X(w-w_{b})\leq s_{h}\\ &h_{l}\leq H(w-w_{b})\leq h_{h}\\ &w_{l}\leq w-w_{b}\leq w_{h}\\ &b_{l}\leq B_{b}w\leq b_{h}\\ &\mathbf{0}\leq w\leq l\\ &\mathbf{1}^{T}\ w=1\end{array}$ - **Objective Function**: Maximize single-factor exposure, where $f$ represents factor values, $f^{T}w$ is the weighted exposure of the portfolio to the factor, and $w$ is the stock weight vector to be solved [41] - **Constraints**: - **Style Exposure**: $X$ is the factor exposure matrix for stocks, $w_b$ is the benchmark weight vector, and $s_l$, $s_h$ are the lower and upper bounds for style factor exposure [41] - **Industry Exposure**: $H$ is the industry exposure matrix, where $H_{ij}=1$ if stock $i$ belongs to industry $j$, otherwise $H_{ij}=0$. $h_l$, $h_h$ are the lower and upper bounds for industry deviation [41] - **Stock Weight Deviation**: $w_l$, $w_h$ are the lower and upper bounds for stock weight deviation relative to the benchmark [41] - **Component Weight Control**: $B_b$ is a 0-1 vector indicating whether a stock belongs to the benchmark index. $b_l$, $b_h$ are the lower and upper bounds for component weight control [41] - **No Short Selling**: Ensures non-negative weights and limits individual stock weights to $l$ [41] - **Full Investment**: Ensures the portfolio is fully invested with $\mathbf{1}^{T}w=1$ [42] **Evaluation**: This model effectively tests factor validity under real-world constraints, making it more applicable for practical portfolio construction [40][41][42] --- Quantitative Factors and Construction Methods - **Factor Name**: BP **Construction Idea**: Measures valuation by comparing net assets to market capitalization [17] **Construction Process**: Formula: $BP = \frac{\text{Net Assets}}{\text{Market Capitalization}}$ [17] **Evaluation**: BP is a widely used valuation factor, but its effectiveness varies across different sample spaces [17] - **Factor Name**: Single-Season EP **Construction Idea**: Evaluates profitability by comparing quarterly net profit to market capitalization [17] **Construction Process**: Formula: $EP = \frac{\text{Quarterly Net Profit}}{\text{Market Capitalization}}$ [17] **Evaluation**: This factor is useful for identifying undervalued stocks with strong quarterly performance [17] - **Factor Name**: Single-Season SP **Construction Idea**: Measures revenue efficiency by comparing quarterly revenue to market capitalization [17] **Construction Process**: Formula: $SP = \frac{\text{Quarterly Revenue}}{\text{Market Capitalization}}$ [17] **Evaluation**: SP is effective in identifying companies with high revenue relative to their market value [17] - **Factor Name**: EPTTM **Construction Idea**: Tracks profitability using trailing twelve-month net profit relative to market capitalization [17] **Construction Process**: Formula: $EPTTM = \frac{\text{TTM Net Profit}}{\text{Market Capitalization}}$ [17] **Evaluation**: EPTTM is a robust profitability factor, especially for long-term performance analysis [17] - **Factor Name**: SPTTM **Construction Idea**: Measures revenue efficiency using trailing twelve-month revenue relative to market capitalization [17] **Construction Process**: Formula: $SPTTM = \frac{\text{TTM Revenue}}{\text{Market Capitalization}}$ [17] **Evaluation**: SPTTM is useful for identifying companies with consistent revenue generation [17] --- Factor Backtesting Results **沪深 300 Sample Space** -

- The "Hong Kong Stock Selection Portfolio" model aims to construct a portfolio by dual-layer screening based on fundamental and technical aspects of analyst-recommended stocks. The analyst recommendation pool is built using events such as upward earnings forecast revisions, initial analyst coverage, and unexpected research report titles. Stocks with both fundamental support and technical resonance are selected to form the portfolio. The backtesting period is from January 1, 2010, to December 31, 2025, with an annualized return of 19.08% and an excess return of 18.06% relative to the Hang Seng Index[13][15][19] - The "Stable New High Stock Screening" factor identifies stocks that have reached a 250-day high in the past 20 trading days. The calculation formula for the 250-day new high distance is: $ 250\text{-day new high distance} = 1 - \frac{\text{Close}_{t}}{\text{ts\_max(Close, 250)}} $ where $\text{Close}_{t}$ represents the latest closing price, and $\text{ts\_max(Close, 250)}$ is the maximum closing price over the past 250 trading days. A value of 0 indicates a new high, while positive values represent the degree of fallback. Stocks are further filtered based on analyst attention, relative price strength, price stability, and trend continuation metrics[20][22][23] - The "Stable New High Stock Screening" factor uses additional criteria for filtering: - Analyst attention: At least 5 buy or overweight ratings in the past 6 months - Relative price strength: Top 20% in 250-day returns within the sample pool - Price stability: Evaluated using metrics like price path smoothness and average 250-day new high distance over the past 120 days - Trend continuation: Average 250-day new high distance over the past 5 days[23] - The backtesting results for the "Hong Kong Stock Selection Portfolio" model show annualized return of 19.08%, excess return of 18.06%, and various performance metrics such as IR of 1.19, tracking error of 14.60%, and maximum drawdown of 23.73%[19] - The "Stable New High Stock Screening" factor identified stocks across sectors, with the highest number in the cyclical sector (8 stocks), followed by technology (2 stocks), manufacturing (1 stock), consumer (1 stock), and healthcare (1 stock)[22][23][27]
