Quantitative Models and Construction Methods - **Model Name**: Neutral Constraint Maximum Factor Exposure Portfolio **Model Construction Idea**: The model aims to maximize the exposure of a target factor in the portfolio while maintaining neutrality in industry and style exposures relative to the benchmark index[59][60][61] **Model Construction Process**: 1. Objective Function: Maximize the portfolio's exposure to the target factor $Max \ w^{\prime} X_{target}$ 2. Constraints: - Industry neutrality: $(w-w_{b})^{\prime} X_{ind}=0$ - Style neutrality (size, valuation, growth): $(w-w_{b})^{\prime} X_{Beta}=0$ - Stock weight deviation from benchmark: $|w-w_{b}|\leq1\%$ - No short selling: $w\geq0$ - Full investment: $w^{\prime} 1=1$ - Stocks must belong to the benchmark: $w^{\prime} B=1$ 3. Factor neutralization: Before constructing the portfolio, factors are neutralized to remove correlations with industry and style factors, and all factor directions are adjusted to be positive[59][60][61] **Model Evaluation**: The model effectively balances factor exposure maximization with risk control through constraints, ensuring robustness in various market conditions[59][60][61] --- Model Backtesting Results -

Calculate the stock's daily returns over the past 252 trading days - Perform an exponentially weighted regression of the stock's returns against the market index (CSI All Share Index) with a half-life of 63 days - Use the regression coefficient as the Beta value[15][16] **Factor Evaluation**: The Beta factor effectively captures market risk preferences, as evidenced by its strong performance in high-risk environments[15][16] - **Factor Name**: Size Factor **Factor Construction Idea**: Captures the size effect, where smaller-cap stocks tend to outperform larger-cap stocks[15][16] **Factor Construction Process**: - Compute the natural logarithm of the total market capitalization of each stock[15][16] **Factor Evaluation**: The size factor consistently demonstrates the small-cap effect, particularly in high-volatility markets[15][16] - **Factor Name**: Momentum Factor **Factor Construction Idea**: Identifies stocks with strong past performance, assuming trends persist in the short term[15][16] **Factor Construction Process**: - Calculate cumulative returns over the past 504 trading days, excluding the most recent 21 days - Apply an exponentially weighted average with a half-life of 126 days to the return series[15][16] **Factor Evaluation**: The momentum factor is effective in trending markets but may underperform during reversals[15][16] --- Factor Backtesting Results - **Beta Factor**: Weekly long-short return 2.61%, monthly long-short return -1.82%[18] - **Size Factor**: Weekly long-short return -2.11%, monthly long-short return -8.87%[18] - **Momentum Factor**: Weekly long-short return 0.58%, monthly long-short return -1.85%[18] --- Stock Selection Factors and Performance - **Factor Name**: Single Quarter ROE **Factor Construction Idea**: Measures profitability by comparing net income to shareholder equity for a single quarter[20][21] **Factor Construction Process**: - Calculate the ratio of net income attributable to shareholders to total shareholder equity for the most recent quarter[20][21] **Factor Backtesting Results**: - CSI 300: Weekly excess return 0.72%, monthly excess return 1.90%, annual excess return 5.43%[23] - CSI 500: Weekly excess return 0.85%, monthly excess return 0.91%, annual excess return 5.90%[29] - CSI 800: Weekly excess return 1.02%, monthly excess return 2.06%, annual excess return 3.95%[32] -
