Introduction of Universal Alpha
model for Asia/Pacific ex Japan
The model
Our new Universal Alpha model for Asia/Pacific ex Japan
strives to capture alpha by combining factor strategies
generating the highest and most consistent performance
within their respective sector. We then incorporate sectorbased
alpha sources into a single Asia/Pacific ex Japan
model. With the implementation of various adjustments we
come up with a model providing alpha via stock-picking and
sector allocation. The model separates 12 sectors and
includes a total of 47 different alpha factors (between 6 and
11 factors per sector).
Performance
The top-decile strategy of our Universal Alpha model has
outperformed the overall market by an annualised 19.7%
pre-costs since 2000 (backtested). Even investing only in the
top 2% of stocks achieved an annualised 29.1% (pre-costs,
backtested). The monthly outperformance ratio (hit ratio)
was 74.6% (top 10%). The longer-term consistency of this
performance is remarkable as the top 10% strategy only
underperformed in the year 2008 – in all other years it beat
the benchmark. Our sector-neutral strategy has even
outperformed every single year including 2008.
