What you'll learn

Key ideas in Quantitative Wealth Management

  • Cap-weighted indexes weight solely by market capitalization, leaving specific risk drivers unrewarded.
  • Factor premiums systematically compensate investors for taking on distinct macroeconomic or distress risks.
  • Systematic exposure extracts persistent returns that cannot be gained by holding passive market beta alone.
  • Value and momentum factors exhibit historically negative relative performance correlation.
  • Low-volatility and quality factors limit downside drawdowns during late-cycle and recession regimes.
  • Pairing uncorrelated factor drivers smooths cyclical portfolio drawdown depth across market regimes.
  • Frequent rebalancing without tolerance bands causes excessive portfolio turnover and trading drag.
  • Trading frictions and bid-ask spreads can fully erase theoretical paper factor returns.
  • Rebalancing buffers allow factor scores to drift moderately before triggering costly rebalances.
  • Appreciating equities can see their valuation ratios expand and morph from value into growth stocks.
  • Style drift changes the portfolio's effective factor beta without any active trade executions.
  • Tracking factor beta loadings reveals stealth asset rotation away from the core factor mandate.
  • Multi-factor regression decomposes fund returns into factor betas and an unexplained alpha intercept.
  • An insignificant alpha intercept indicates returns are explained by factor exposures, not stock-picking skill.
  • Systematic factor returns can be replicated cheaply with rules-based ETFs rather than active fees.
  • Calendar schedules execute trades even when portfolio drift is too small to justify transaction fees.
