It identifies industries with the highest crowding levels (e.g., non-ferrous metals, electronics, and communication) and those with the lowest levels (e.g., media, coal, and petrochemicals). Additionally, it tracks significant changes in crowding levels for specific industries (e.g., food and beverage, comprehensive, and non-bank financials)[3] - **Model Evaluation**: The model provides a systematic approach to assess industry crowding dynamics, offering valuable insights for sector allocation strategies[3] 2. Model Name: Premium Rate Z-Score Model - **Model Construction Idea**: This model is used to screen ETF products for potential arbitrage opportunities by calculating the Z-score of premium rates on a rolling basis[4] - **Model Construction Process**: The model involves the following steps: 1. Calculate the premium rate of an ETF product 2. Compute the Z-score of the premium rate over a rolling window 3. Identify ETFs with significant deviations in Z-scores, which may indicate potential arbitrage opportunities or risks of price corrections[4] - **Model Evaluation**: The model effectively identifies ETFs with potential mispricing, aiding in arbitrage decision-making[4] --- Model Backtesting Results 1. Industry Crowding Monitoring Model - **Top Crowded Industries**: Non-ferrous metals, electronics, and communication were identified as the most crowded industries on the previous trading day[3] - **Least Crowded Industries**: Media, coal, and petrochemicals exhibited the lowest crowding levels[3] - **Significant Changes**: Food and beverage, comprehensive, and non-bank financials showed notable variations in crowding levels[3] 2.
