Quantitative Factors and Construction Methods - **Factor Name**: DELTAROA **Factor Construction Idea**: Measures the change in return on assets (ROA) compared to the same quarter in the previous year, capturing improvements in asset utilization efficiency[16]. **Factor Construction Process**: $ DELTAROA = ROA_{current\ quarter} - ROA_{same\ quarter\ last\ year} $ Where \( ROA = \frac{Net\ Income}{Total\ Assets} \)[16]. **Factor Evaluation**: DELTAROA is a growth-oriented factor that has shown strong performance in multiple sample spaces, particularly in the CSI A500 index[19][25]. - **Factor Name**: Standardized Unexpected Earnings (SUE) **Factor Construction Idea**: Measures the deviation of actual earnings from expected earnings, standardized by the standard deviation of expected earnings, to capture earnings surprises[16]. **Factor Construction Process**: $ SUE = \frac{Actual\ Earnings - Expected\ Earnings}{Standard\ Deviation\ of\ Expected\ Earnings} $[16]. **Factor Evaluation**: SUE is a profitability factor that performs well in growth-oriented indices like CSI 1000 and CSI A500[19][23][25]. - **Factor Name**: One-Year Momentum **Factor Construction Idea**: Captures the trend-following behavior of stocks by measuring price momentum over the past year, excluding the most recent month[16]. **Factor Construction Process**: $ Momentum = \frac{Price_{t-12} - Price_{t-1}}{Price_{t-1}} $ Where \( t-12 \) and \( t-1 \) represent the stock price 12 months and 1 month ago, respectively[16]. **Factor Evaluation**: Momentum is a widely used factor that has shown consistent performance in large-cap indices like CSI 300 and CSI 500[19][21].
