Quantitative Models and Factor Construction Style Factors and Construction - **Factor Name**: Beta Factor **Construction Idea**: Measures the sensitivity of a stock's return to the market return **Construction Process**: The Beta factor is calculated by performing a half-life weighted regression of the past 252 trading days' daily returns of individual stocks against the CSI All Share Index. The half-life is set to 63 trading days. The regression coefficient is used as the Beta value [16][17] - **Factor Name**: Volatility Factor **Construction Idea**: Captures the risk or variability in stock returns **Construction Process**: The Volatility factor is a composite of three sub-factors: 1. **DASTD (Daily Standard Deviation)**: Standard deviation of excess returns over the past 250 trading days, calculated using a half-life weighted method with a half-life of 40 trading days 2. **CMRA (Cumulative Range)**: Difference between the maximum and minimum cumulative log returns over the past 12 months 3. **HSIGMA (Historical Sigma)**: Standard deviation of residuals from the Beta regression The final Volatility factor is the average of these three sub-factors [16][17] - **Factor Name**: Profitability Factor **Construction Idea**: Measures a company's ability to generate profits relative to its market value **Construction Process**: The Profitability factor is a composite of two sub-factors: 1. **ETOP (Earnings-to-Price Ratio)**: Calculated as trailing twelve months (TTM) net profit attributable to shareholders divided by total market capitalization 2. **CETOP (Cash Earnings-to-Price Ratio)**: Calculated as TTM net cash flow from operating activities divided by total market capitalization The final Profitability factor is the average of ETOP and CETOP [16][17] - **Factor Name**: Momentum Factor **Construction Idea**: Captures the continuation of stock price trends **Construction Process**: The Momentum factor is calculated as the cumulative return over the past 504 trading days, excluding the most recent 21 trading days.
