Quant Radio: Factor Timing


Listen Later

Dive into the dynamic world of factor timing! In this video, we unpack groundbreaking research from the National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER) on timing market factors like value, size, and momentum to enhance investment strategies. Discover how these factor insights could allow investors to go beyond the typical "buy-and-hold" approach, revealing patterns beneath the surface of traditional models.

Join us as we explore the "factor zoo," a world where dominant factors influence up to 60% of market movements. From book-to-market ratios to the mysterious Stochastic Discount Factor (SDF), we delve into the mechanics of predicting factor performance, examining how these approaches could potentially improve portfolio returns with less frequent rebalancing. Our hosts break down complex concepts with real-world analogies and practical takeaways for everyday investors, including how factor timing might redefine your investment philosophy.
