Macro Model for January 2012


The currently favoured factors and stocks for Asia
The Macro Factor Rotation (MFR) Model is again positioned to look for rally candidates: it is still interested in cheap, sold-off names, most from their highs, but now adding a little more risk again by looking for small caps. The MFR model was down about -2% last month, hurt by reversion, but winning back some performance using P/B. The top four factors for January 2012 suggested by the MFR Model: 1. Historical PB stocks that are cheap on P/B 2. % off 52 week high buy those most off their highs 3. Price Reversion 1mth buy what has been sold off 4. Small Caps favour small caps over large Just outside of these top 4 factors sit RSI 10-day and Price Acceleration factors also factors looking for sold-off/turnaround possibilities. The top 4 factors did not see much change in the vote casting from last month, with only a swapping out of RSI 10-day in favour of small caps.

Performance last month: The High Conviction MFR screen in last months report came in under water. It did poorly with the reversion, but well with the P/B bias the performance of the standalone MFR screen last month was a -2.0% L/S. In combination with our Q-Score (i.e. the 50:50 model) it returned -5.1% L/S for December 2011. Our recent reports on this topic: Measuring the Macro Impact on Factor Performance, Smith/Malin, December 2010: This report is a reference guide, or Rulebook, for which factors work better (or worse) during different macro states. Style Timing using Macro Indicators, Smith/Malin, December 2010: In this we tested an approach that uses such a Rulebook to switch between factors depending on the macro environment as determined by our rules of thumb for assessing environment states.

Note the improved performance through the macro years, namely post 2007. The Macro Factor Rotation model did much better as it was able to exploit risk factors (size, volatility, beta etc) in addition to alpha factors. It also uses more cyclical alpha factors not suitable for static quant models (such as dividend yield, Percent off High, PE relative to history etc).

Macro Model for January


Looking for potential rally candidates
Each month we highlight the factors that the MFR model is favouring (and to use the terminology of prior work we are using tradable states and our current 2010 Rulebook in this model). The Macro Factor Rotation (MFR) Model is again positioned to look for rally candidates: it is still interested in cheap, sold-off names, most from their highs, but now adding a little more risk again by looking for small caps. Environment states currently active There are 31 active environments for January according to our tradable heuristics.
Table 1: Tradable active states for January 2012
Environment Asian Dollar Index, Falling Asian Dollar Index, Low Asian Dollar Index, Post-Peak Copper Spot, Low Copper Spot, Post-Trough Dividend Yield, Falling Dividend Yield, High Dividend Yield, Post-Peak Fed Rate, Rising Fed Rate, Post-Trough MSCI AxJ Volume, Falling MSCI AxJ Volume, Low MSCI AxJ Volume, Post-Peak MSCI AxJ, Rising MSCI AxJ, Low MSCI AxJ, Post-Trough Oil Gold Ratio, Rising Oil Gold Ratio, Post-Trough PMI Manufacturing Index/Inventory, Rising PMI Manufacturing Index/Inventory, Post-Trough TED Spread, Rising TED Spread, High US Gov Bond 10yr Yield, Rising US Gov Bond 10yr Yield, Low US Gov Bond 10yr Yield, Post-Trough US GOV Bond 3/10YR Spread, Rising US GOV Bond 3/10YR Spread, Low US GOV Bond 3/10YR Spread, Post-Trough Value Spread, Rising VIX, Falling VIX, Post-Peak

until the series has confirmed for 2 months in a row making it slow to change (and sometimes late). This is the trade-off between false positives and responsiveness. That said, historically the heuristic got each series right about 55-60% of the time, so across the range of 14 macro series we track we believe the final outcome of the votes each month to be relatively robust. The factor votes and biggest movers The factors ranked below are in order of the votes from the 2010 Rulebook using the current tradable states. Also shown are the vote changes from December 2011.

Strategy for January 2012


The top four factors dictated by the tradable states and 2010 Rulebook are unchanged from last month: 1. 2. 3. 4. Historical PB stocks that are cheap on P/B % off 52 week high buy those most off their highs Price Reversion 1mth buy what has been sold off Small Caps favour small caps over large

Going into January, the macro environment is being represented by more bullish states such as the Oil to Gold ratio in rising and post-trough, VIX in falling and post-peak. Some of the states might not be spot on... The heuristic we use to call the tradable states is prone to false starts. To combat this, we do not change a state

Performance last month


The High Conviction MFR screen in last months report came in under water. It did poorly with the reversion, but well with the P/B bias the performance of the standalone MFR screen last month was a -2.0% L/S. In combination with our Q-Score (i.e. the 50:50 model) it returned -5.1% L/S for December 2011.
