The opportunity for quants in a

world of diminished alpha

Tulip Mania to Twitter Media

Tulip Mania to Twitter Media

No market bubbles before media – tulip mania of 1630’s needed

newspapers. The twenties bubble needed the telephone. Media

and communication can dramatically impact investor behavior.

Government regulation and industry standardization over a

decade ago have played an important role in data, with

unintended harm to investment performance.

This has led to shifts in asset flows, the growing importance of

alternative beta, and a new opportunity for quants.

Accruals; Reg FD & increased disclosure of reliable financial data

Note: Universe is Russell 3000. Shows cumulative monthly returns to accruals (equally weighted quintile spread) in each of three groups

categorized by level of dispersion of analyst estimates for current-year earnings (deflated by the absolute value of mean estimate). Accruals

are based on Sloan’s (1996) definition using three-month change in trailing four-quarter average in financial statements, not using 12-month

change in annual financial statements as Sloan originally used. Period of analysis is from January 1989 through April 2013. Transaction

costs are not considered.

Correlation as function of volatility; elevated in the past decade

Note: Shows scatter plots based on daily time-series data of 21-day volatility of Russell 1000 index and 21-day stock correlation within sector, where the averages of all pair-wise stock

correlations are calculated within GICS 10 sectors in the Russell 1000 universe using 21-day total returns and these correlations are averaged over all GICS 10 sectors. Dark blue dots

correspond to data from January 1987 through December 1998, while red dots correspond to data from January 2003 through 1 May 2013. Left panel uses log scale for both axes, while

bottom panel uses linear.

part of the story

Note: Shows six-month rolling excess return (relative to the benchmark, after fees) in large-cap core equity funds (long-only) that are managed based

on fundamental methodologies (dark blue line) and the cross-sectional dispersion (standard deviation) of six-month total returns in Russell 1000

(green line). Currently there are 43 funds in this fundamental core universe. Period of analysis is from January 2000 through March 2013.

Note: (Top)Shows standard deviation of one-year stock return

in Russell 1000 (after excluding anomalous returns over

100%) and standard deviation of one-year factor returns

based on 22 representative factors in Russell 1000

(Middle) Sows MAD (median absolute deviation) of one-year

factor returns based on 22 representative factors in Russell

1000 as factor return dispersion, overlaid with one-year rolling

excess return (relative to the benchmark) in large-cap core

equity funds (long-only) that are managed based on

quantitative methodologies as quant fund alpha.

Bottom : Show MAD (median absolute deviation) of one-year

factor returns based on 22 representative factors in Russell

1000 as factor return dispersion (light blue line) and the fist

principal component weight based on one-year (250-day)

PCA applied to 22 representative factors in Russell 1000

(dark blue line).

The market has many ways to pay

Fundamental investors & quant investors reap

different payoffs from the market

- Fundamental managers find idiosyncratic

opportunity to accrue alpha

- Quant managers harvest factor premium
