New Research Note

Markets Change. Factor Weights Rarely Do.

Dynamic weighting using market regimes and crowding indicators.

Why this research matters

Most quantitative portfolios still rely on static factor weights, even though markets continuously evolve.

This research explores a dynamic framework that adapts signal weights using macroeconomic regime classification and factor-specific crowding indicators—improving risk-adjusted performance while reducing downside exposure.

 

Inside the research note:

 Using macroeconomic regimes to dynamically adjust factor weights

 Measuring factor crowding using stock-level indicators

 Understanding the relationship between crowding and future returns

 Why longer-horizon forecasts may improve earnings-based alpha models

 A practical framework for dynamic signal aggregation
