Pure Alpha




  • What is Pure Alpha?

    Pure Alpha is a global stock market investing strategy based on a risk factor approach similar to Smart Beta.

    The difference is in the way of processing factor values (static in Smart Beta and dynamic in Pure Alpha) as well as in excluding the first Beta component in the asset risk-return formula and focusing on the factors specific to the asset. In simple terms, these systems are market neutral and generate income in any state of the market.
  • How does it work?

    Using the fundamental data ranking of Smart Beta systems (see the corresponding section) the securities applicable for Pure Alpha algorithms are filtered. Further, the change in individual rankings is calculated for each security by special algorithms. The size and sign of the position of the respective asset is determined to capture the maximum future return considering the risk and reliability of the system.

    Machine learning and neural networks algorithms used to create individual portfolios. Further, the least correlated algorithms are collected in a market-neutral investment portfolio and the final weighting of positions on securities is made. The holding period for each security ranges from several days to several months (as opposed to short-term algorithmic trading). Below is an example of how an algorithm works on an individual security. As can be seen from the graph, our algorithms significantly improve the risk/return of an individual asset, and most importantly, the market beta close to zero allows you to combine non-correlated signals according to individual security characteristics into a single portfolio of strategies.

  • What is the value of this strategy for investors?

    Pure Alpha portfolios show performance of up to 2x Sharpe ratio (market index averages 0.7x Sharp). For the investor, this means 15-20% yield with 10% volatility, regardless of the conditions in the stock market.
