# Multifactor Portfolio
|
||||
|
||||
**Section**: 3.6 | **Asset Class**: Stocks | **Type**: Multifactor
|
||||
|
||||
## Overview
|
||||
A multifactor portfolio buys and shorts stocks based on multiple factors simultaneously — such as value and momentum — which are often negatively correlated with each other, providing diversification benefits. Combining factors can add value relative to any single-factor strategy. The holding period depends on which factors are combined.
|
||||
|
||||
## Construction / Signal
|
||||
Two primary approaches to combining F factors:
|
||||
|
||||
**Approach 1 — Capital allocation across sub-portfolios**
|
||||
|
||||
Each of F factor portfolios is built independently (as in Sections 3.1–3.5). Capital is allocated with weights `w_A` (A = 1,...,F):
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
sum_{A=1}^{F} w_A = 1 (275)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Investment level for factor A: `I_A = w_A * I`
|
||||
|
||||
Simple uniform weights: `w_A = 1/F`
|
||||
|
||||
Volatility-weighted: `w_A ∝ 1/sigma_A` or `w_A ∝ 1/sigma_A^2`, where `sigma_A` is the historical volatility of factor portfolio A (uniformly normalized per dollar invested).
|
||||
|
||||
Alternatively, optimize weights using an invertible F×F covariance matrix of the F factor portfolio returns.
|
||||
|
||||
**Approach 2 — Blended ranking scores**
|
||||
|
||||
Define demeaned ranks for factor A across N stocks:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
s_{Ai} = rank(f_{Ai}) - (1/N) * sum_{j=1}^{N} rank(f_{Aj}) (276)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
where `f_{Ai}` is the numeric value of factor A for stock i. Average the ranks across factors:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
s_i = (1/F) * sum_{A=1}^{F} s_{Ai} (277)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Sort stocks by the combined score `s_i` and construct a long/short portfolio (top decile long, bottom decile short).
|
||||
|
||||
## Entry / Exit Rules
|
||||
- **Entry**: At rebalance date, compute factor scores, blend them (via capital allocation or rank averaging), and enter long/short positions.
|
||||
- **Exit**: Hold for the relevant factor horizon; rebalance monthly (or per factor schedule).
|
||||
- **Tie-breaking**: If ambiguity exists at decile boundaries (e.g., tied combined scores), resolve by preferring one factor's ranking.
|
||||
|
||||
## Key Parameters
|
||||
- **Number of factors F**: Typically 2–5 (e.g., value + momentum; or value + momentum + low-vol)
|
||||
- **Factor weights w_A**: Uniform (1/F) or volatility-suppressed
|
||||
- **Combining method**: Capital allocation vs. rank averaging
|
||||
- **Holding period**: Depends on the factors combined
|
||||
|
||||
## Variations
|
||||
- **Two-factor momentum + value**: Sort top/bottom quintiles by momentum, then split by value (or vice versa), creating 4 sub-portfolios
|
||||
- **Weighted rank averaging**: Non-uniform weights in Eq. (277) using Manhattan or Euclidean distance minimization
|
||||
- **Portfolio optimization**: Fix weights w_A by optimizing expected returns using an invertible F×F covariance matrix
|
||||
|
||||
## Notes
|
||||
- Value and momentum are empirically negatively correlated, making them natural complements that reduce portfolio volatility.
|
||||
- Uniform rank averaging (Eq. 277) minimizes the sum of squared Euclidean distances between the combined N-vector s_i and the K individual N-vectors s_{Ai}.
|
||||
- Holding period depends on the slowest factor; mixing monthly and annual factors requires careful rebalancing scheduling.
|
||||
- Transaction costs increase with the number of factors if rebalancing frequencies differ.
