This article aims to extend evaluation of the classic multifactor model of Carhart (1997) for the case of global equity indices and to expand analysis performed in Sakowski et. al. (2015). Our intention is to test several modifications of these models to take into account different dynamics of...

We examine the F score in global emerging markets and show there is a meaningful premium attached to high F score stocks which is unrelated to the size, value and momentum premiums. It is larger for high value stocks, moderately higher for high momentum stocks and unrelated to stock size. This...

This paper examines customer momentum, defined as a positive relationship between a firm's returns and past returns of its customers. I confirm previous evidence (Cohen and Frazzini 2008) that customer momentum is both statistically and economically significant. Long-short equally-weighted...

In establishing the foundation of their investment process, global equity investors typically adopt a framework along geographic and/or industry dimensions. The chosen framework is then applied to the whole investment process including alpha generation, portfolio construction, and risk...

We construct portfolios based on characteristic weights and develop a novel way to measure capacity of these portfolios to absorb capital. Our estimates suggest that portfolio capacity is the highest for fundamental-weights, whereas portfolios based on momentum, equal risk budget, and equal...

In this article the authors attempt to get a better understanding of the cross-section of alternative risk premia using a multi-asset version of the downside risk CAPM. In line with the empirical literature, they find that the cross-section of realized returns is much better explained when using...

Valuation signals have been among the most popular between equity portfolio managers. Given the large variation of techniques and theories with regard to how value is measured, this study investigates the efficacy of alternative value measures. We consider a cross section of simple and...
