WARNING!

I have over the last few weeks been promoting everything at a very affordable price. Over the next few weeks, I will be testing new target marketing efforts of households  over $1 million annual income. What does this mean? If successful, I see no reason to keep these rates low as they are. If that is the case, I have received marketing experts say I could charge as much as $400/month. Who knows if this will happen but you may want to take advantage of the current price. They may not last! Here they are:

Evolution of Smart Beta – 2017 survey reveals new trends

 

 

FTSE Russell survey highlights growth of multi-factor investing

Andrew Perrins of Savvy Investor shares an insight in to the latest Smart Beta trends.

 

FTSE Russell’s 2017 Smart Beta survey of asset owners reveals robust growth in the adoption of smart beta indexing, particularly multi-factor strategies – the use of which appears to have tripled in the last two years.

 

Below, the Savvy Investor Research Team has listed the top 12 factor investing papers published in the last couple of months. All of these are free to access on the Savvy Investor research platform.

Smart beta: 2017 global survey findings from asset owners (FTSE Russell, 2017)

Now in its fourth year, FTSE Russell’s comprehensive survey of global asset owners focuses on key themes behind the adoption, evaluation and implementation of smart beta.

Bridging the Gap: Adding Factors to Passive and Active Allocations (MSCI)

How does the factor allocation fit into a manager’s overall equity program? This MSCI paper uses a risk budgeting framework to investigate how active mandates and factor allocations can be combined.

The Rise of Factor-Based Investing (LGIM)

Factor-based investing, which seeks to identify the underlying characteristics that drive performance, has grown rapidly since the financial crisis. This paper by Legal & General Investment Management assesses its rise.

Factor Exposure and Portfolio Concentration (FTSE Russell, May 2017)

This paper by FTSE Russell is an ideal read for asset owners who need a better understanding of factor tilting and want to compare outcomes for factor portfolio construction.

The Merits and Methods of Multi-Factor Investing (S&P Dow Jones Indices, 2017)

With a wealth of smart beta indices to choose from, market participants may find it difficult to decide when each factor-based strategy is best suited to deliver returns. This paper considers how effective a multi-factor approach might be.

Factor Investing Insights from BlackRock (BlackRock, Apr 2017)

Adopting a factor lens can help investors better understand the risks in their portfolios. Managing factor exposures can potentially improve returns, reduce risk and lower overall portfolio expenses. Learn more in BlackRock’s ETF Desk Reference.

Why Invest in Momentum as a Factor? (SSGA, 2017)

This 6-page paper by State Street Global Advisors provides a helpful overview of Momentum Investing.

Investing in the Quality Factor (SSGA, 2017)

The authors of this paper explain how they think about the Quality Factor in equities and why they consider their tilting methodology to be a better way to capture the factor — especially for investors with limited risk budgets.

Three ways to successfully implement factors and smart beta (Robeco, 2017)

This paper by Robeco aims to give investors a clearer picture of what factor-based investing actually is and how to best implement quantitative strategies.

Factor Timing is Hard (AQR Capital Management, 2017)

In this paper, Cliff Asness of AQR Capital Management argues that contrarian factor timing is not easy and current factor valuations are not extreme, contrary to popular belief.

Factor Investing Combinations: The sum of the parts (S&P Dow Jones Indices)

Given the success of strategies that exploit single factors, it is not surprising that strategies designed to exploit more than one factor have begun to pique the interest of market participants. This paper explores further.

Factor Investing: Made Simple Guide (PLSA, 2017)

This guide has been produced by the UK Pensions and Lifetime Savings Association (PLSA). It provides a helpful introduction to factor investing.

Why Factor Tilts Are Not Smart “Smart Beta” (Research Affiliates, 2017)

The authors’ analysis of three first-generation smart beta strategies shows factor-replicated portfolios are ineffective substitutes for their smart beta counterparts, exhibiting poorer performance, high turnover, and low capacity.

Machine learning trends and future of AI trading: NOSQL Redis and Facebook?

Machine learning trends and future of AI trading: NOSQL Redis and Facebook?

 

Machine learning trends and future of AI






So what will the future of machine learning and artificial intelligence look like? If you're talking about your two-year-old little sister, that don't count. Gawd I can be funny sometimes.




If interested read this article now




Facebook open source Torchnet for AI






Now if you ask me, there are many competing frameworks coming out of the likes of Microsoft, Amazon, Google, Facebook, Apple and so on. 
You quite literally will have to choose one of these 
vendors very soon. In case you missed it, I think Facebook will be the supreme leader with their latest open source solution.




Read about that here




Redis cluster pushes 1.2 million insert per second


Now don't get me wrong, the technology programming language choice is sort of is strange with LUA. But hear me out OK? I think the next big 
trend will be embedding Live trading logic right
 into in memory NOSQL databases. If you have followed me for a while, you'll know I love my NOSQL open source Redis database option. I mean 
it's the world's fastest database with metrics 
that are blowing the doors off of the most respected HFT software platforma like Deltix.




Check out these crazy benchmark metrics for Redis




For those that don't know, you can embed server side LUA scripts right into Redis. See where I'm going with this? Also remember that this is 
completely all open source. Pretty cool Huh?




I wonder why all the other smarty pants are not thinking of things like this. You know all those hedge funds and investment bank prop shops.
 Maybe they are not as smart as we think. Haha Until next time!
