Quantitative Models and Factor Construction Quantitative Factors and Construction Methods - Factor Name: Financial Statement Alpha Factors Construction Idea: Define an operator to calculate factors using financial indicators from financial statements, forecasts, quick reports, and financial notes[1][11][175] Construction Process: 1. Use 14 operators (e.g., ratio, YOY growth) to combine financial indicators[1][29] 2. Generate approximately 100,000 factors[1][175] 3. Filter factors based on criteria: RankIC mean > 2%, annualized RankICIR > 1.5, long-only monthly excess return > 0.3%, long-short monthly return > 0.6%[1][45][175] Evaluation: Effective in identifying 4,427 valid factors from the initial pool[1][42][175] - Factor Name: Percentile Difference Operator (EPRank) Construction Idea: Address the distortion caused by extreme denominator values in ratio-based factors by using percentile differences[54][176] Construction Process: 1. Calculate the percentile of numerator and denominator indicators 2. Compute the difference between the two percentiles Formula: $PercentileA2B = PercentileA - PercentileB$ $EPRank = Percentile(NetProfit) - Percentile(MV)$[54][176] Evaluation: Reduces the impact of extreme values and improves factor performance[54][176] - Factor Name: Financial Notes Composite Factor Construction Idea: Utilize financial notes data to capture incremental information not included in traditional factors[69][176] Construction Process: 1. Extract sub-items from financial notes (e.g., inventory details) 2. Construct factors such as sub-item ratios, growth rates, and changes in ratios[70][73] 3. Combine 390 financial note factors into a composite factor using rolling 12-month RankICIR weighting[78][176] Evaluation: Demonstrates low correlation with traditional factors and strong predictive ability[80][86] - Factor Name: Income Tax Composite Factor Construction Idea: Reflect the "cash nature" of income tax to verify the authenticity of profits[91][176] Construction Process: 1. Use various operators (e.g., ratio, industry share, YOY growth) to construct income tax factors 2. Combine factors using rolling 12-month RankICIR weighting[94][95] Evaluation: Provides stable stock selection ability and low correlation with traditional factors[96][99] - Factor Name: NPQYOY with Forecast and Quick Report Data Construction Idea: Enhance the timeliness of traditional factors by incorporating forecast and quick report data[101][176] Construction Process: 1. Replace formal financial data with forecast/quick report data (e.g., median of forecasted net profit range) 2. Compare the performance of the updated factor with the original[108][109] Evaluation: Significant improvement in RankIC mean, annualized RankICIR, and excess returns[109][112] Composite Factor Construction and Enhancement - Factor Name: Weighted Composite Factor Construction Idea: Combine multiple factors using rolling 12-month RankICIR weighting[115][176] Construction Process: 1. Select factors from the existing factor library 2. Weight factors based on their RankICIR performance[115][116] Evaluation: Strong stock selection ability but prone to style bias when the number of factors increases[118][122] - Factor Name: Clustered Composite Factor Construction Idea: Address style bias by clustering factors based on their correlation[123][176] Construction Process: 1. Define factor correlation using "group-weighted method" 2. Apply Leiden clustering algorithm to group factors into eight categories (e.g., value, growth, low volatility)[130][134] 3. Combine factors within each category and then across categories[137][141] Evaluation: Outperforms weighted composite factors in RankIC mean, annualized RankICIR, and excess returns[141][142] - Factor Name: Cluster-Enhanced Factor Construction Idea: Expand clustered factors by incorporating newly discovered factors and applying incremental screening[146][176] Construction Process: 1. Assign new factors to existing categories based on correlation 2. Use incremental screening to select effective factors within each category 3. Combine factors within categories and across categories[146][149] Evaluation: Achieves the best performance among all composite factors, with significant improvements in RankIC mean, annualized RankICIR, and excess returns[150][158] Backtest Results of Factors and Models - Financial Statement Alpha Factors: RankIC mean 2%-5%, annualized RankICIR > 1.5, long-only monthly excess return > 0.3%, long-short monthly return > 0.6%[1][45] - EPRank: RankIC mean 5.46%, annualized RankICIR 2.01, long-only monthly excess return 0.64%, long-short monthly return 1.37%[60][64] - Financial Notes Composite Factor: RankIC mean 4.78%, annualized RankICIR 2.69, long-only monthly excess return 0.77%, long-short monthly return 1.79%[78][86] - Income Tax Composite Factor: RankIC mean 4.62%, annualized RankICIR 2.60, long-only monthly excess return 0.67%, long-short monthly return 1.14%[95][99] - NPQYOY with Forecast Data: RankIC mean 4.26%, annualized RankICIR 2.60, long-only monthly excess return 0.72%, long-short monthly return 1.36%[109][112] - Weighted Composite Factor: RankIC mean 11.38%, annualized RankICIR 4.07, long-only monthly excess return 1.21%, long-short monthly return 2.96%[116][158] - Clustered Composite Factor: RankIC mean 11.43%, annualized RankICIR 4.54, long-only monthly excess return 1.31%, long-short monthly return 3.18%[141][158] - Cluster-Enhanced Factor: RankIC mean 12.08%, annualized RankICIR 5.32, long-only monthly excess return 1.62%, long-short monthly return 3.53%[150][158]
