Performance measurement & attribution
To interpret the sources of return for our strategy we perform a regression analysis using Carhart 4 Factor Model. The results are shown in the table below:
| α * | MKT | SMB | HML | WML | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Factor exposure | 0.69 | 0.35 | 0.20 | 0.11 | 0.21 |
| p-value | 0.01 | ~0.0 | 0.01 | 0.07 | ~0.0 |
The monthly alpha or excess return for the strategy is 0.69%. This is generated using a combination of factors and asset allocation rules that tries enhance portfolio returns while reducing risks.
Additionally, returns from standard factors such as market beta, size and momentum contribute to the overall portfolio returns. Return from the value factor is not statistically significant.
