Alpha, higher-than-expected returns generated by an investment strategy, is the holy grail of the investment world. Achieve alpha, and you've beaten the market on a risk-adjusted basis. Quantitative Strategies for Achieving Alpha was borne from equity analyst Richard Tortoriello's efforts to create a series of quantitative stock selection models for his company, Standard & Poor's, and produce a "road map" of the market from a quantitative point of view.

With this practical guide, you will gain an effective instrument that can be used to improve your investment process, whether you invest qualitatively, quantitatively, or seek to combine both. Each alpha-achieving strategy has been extensively back-tested using Standard & Poor's Compustat Point in Time database and has proven to deliver alpha over the long term. Quantitative Strategies for Achieving Alpha presents a wide variety of individual and combined investment strategies that consistently predict above-market returns. The result is a comprehensive investment mosaic that illustrates clearly those qualities and characteristics that make an investment attractive or unattractive. This valuable work contains:

  • A wide variety of investment strategies built around the seven basics that drive future stock market returns: profitability, valuation, cash flow generation, growth, capital allocation, price momentum, and red flags (risk)
  • A building-block approach to quantitative analysis based on 42 single-factor and nearly 70 two- and three-factor backtests, which show the investor how to effectively combine individual factors into robust investment screens and models
  • More than 20 proven investment screens for generating winning investment ideas
  • Suggestions for using quantitative strategies to manage risk and for structuring your own quantitative portfolios
  • Advice on using quantitative principles to do qualitative investment research, including sample spreadsheets

This powerful, data intensive book will help you clearly see what empirically drives the market, while providing the tools to make more profitable investment decisions based on that knowledge--through both bull and bear markets.

Love the pattern
Color: Flower Pink, Style: Toddler-12"h(not Fit Folder)
Love this backpack for my toddler. She feels like her big sister. She loves to carry her own water bottle and diapers in it. It fits her comfortably especially with the adjustable straps. The color is bright and beautiful. The backpack itself is easy for my toddler to open and close. Definitely perfect for a little girl

Perfect for me.
Color: Multicolor-6pack-01, Size: X-Large
For the price, even with our lives being pricey for the most necessities (essentials), you get your money’s worth. Comfort. Good and perfect size. The colors are very nice. I normally wash clothes on cold anyhow but for what every the reason it needs to be washed on heat the texture and material seems ok to me and I feel safe putting it on hot in the wash. Will buy again if ever needed. Not bloomers or granny panty. Perfect simple ladies undies.
