Quantitative Factors and Construction Methods 1. Factor Name: Uncertainty Momentum Enhanced Factor - **Construction Idea**: This factor leverages the behavioral finance observation that investors tend to rely on momentum strategies when faced with high uncertainty, as they lack sufficient information to make decisions. Stocks with higher uncertainty are expected to exhibit stronger momentum effects[7][39][114] - **Construction Process**: 1. Use the 20-day turnover rate and the time-series standard deviation of minute-level trading volume as proxies for uncertainty (denoted as U)[39][114] 2. Calculate the cross-sectional percentile of U across the market to evaluate the relative uncertainty of each stock[39] 3. Multiply the percentile of U by the 20-day stock return to derive the Uncertainty Momentum Enhanced Factor (Mom_U_Enhanced)[39] 4. The factor is positively oriented, meaning higher U values indicate stronger momentum effects[39] - **Evaluation**: This factor effectively captures momentum effects in high-uncertainty stocks, particularly in sectors like AI and commercial aerospace, where fundamental data is scarce[38][39][114] 2. Factor Name: Salience Factor - **Construction Idea**: Based on the salience theory, stocks with abnormal returns over a short period attract disproportionate investor attention, leading to further price increases[52][114] - **Construction Process**: 1. Define salience as the difference between individual stock returns and market returns over the past month[52] 2. Normalize the salience scores to obtain daily salience weights[52] 3. Compute the weighted sum of the past 20-day salience weights and returns to derive the Salience Factor[52] - **Evaluation**: This factor captures the attention-driven price dynamics in rapidly rising sectors, such as technology and AI[52][114] 3. Factor Name: High-Frequency Volatility Compensation Factor - **Construction Idea**: Inspired by the research of Moreira and Muir (2017), this factor addresses the mismatch between risk pricing (Sharpe ratio) and volatility. It identifies stocks where investors are compensated for increased volatility[75][114] - **Construction Process**: 1. Calculate the intraday return volatility ratio for the last 30 minutes and the corresponding volatility[75] 2. Compute the covariance between the two metrics throughout the day to assess whether investors are compensated for volatility increases[75] 3. Use the 20-day standard deviation of the factor values as the final High-Frequency Volatility Compensation Factor[75] - **Evaluation**: This factor identifies stocks with synchronized increases in volatility and return volatility ratios, effectively capturing risk compensation dynamics in high-volatility environments[75][114] --- Factor Backtesting Results 1.
