During a CFA Institute webinar, Frank Fabozzi and Jason Hsu dive into the nuances of timing factors in quantitative research. They discuss key challenges quants face when a factor stops performing: Has it been “arbed out,” or are we in an extended bubble? To watch the full conversation: https://bit.ly/4dMtFFC

Highlights from Perspectives Issue 106! (link in comments section below⬇️) Figure 1. Valuations of some chipmakers seem to reflect a rosy terminal state for stocks in the sector, with industry darling NVDA selling at almost 50x forward earnings and UK-based Arm Holdings priced at nearly 100x. Investors should always take note of chip stock’s market valuation multiples, such as P/E. Figure 2. Retail sales beat expectations. Results were even better looking at a metric that economists call “control-group sales,” which excludes food services, autos, gas stations, and building materials, viewed as a more stable barometer for consumer spending and more closely connected to the calculations of US GDP. Figure 3. Industrial production in the US is still weak and below expectations. September’s negative surprise was driven by manufacturing output, accounting for nearly four-fifths of the nation’s overall production, which slid by 0.4% for the month, much worse than economists’ expectation of a 0.1% drop. Mining performed poorly, contracting by 0.6% month-over-month, while utilities grew by 0.7% on higher energy demand.

Highlights from Perspectives Issue 106! (link in comments section below⬇️) Figure 1: Heading into a contentious November election in the US, it’s worth thinking not just about how the Fed will interpret these numbers, but how they feel to households facing them on a day-to-day basis. To that end, data from the University of Michigan released at the end of last month showed most consumers continued to feel the pinch of high prices more viscerally than recent BLS reports might suggest. Especially for lower-income households, whose budgets have been most impacted, 2024 has been marked by a sharp rise in expectations for longer-term price increases. Figure 2: The US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration tracks dozens of billion-dollar natural disasters that have hit American cities over the last few decades and plots a worrying trend toward more frequent and more expensive events over the years. Florida got a taste of this dynamic last Wednesday, enduring another big storm, Hurricane Milton, which ripped through the state with 100-mph winds, tornados, and flooding. Figure 3: The ECB finds itself in a position worse than the Fed’s. Like Powell and company, the ECB has seen a nice fall in inflation since the 2022 high but worries that the ‘last mile’ to its 2% target will be bumpy. Even though headline inflation did go below the 2% level in September—its lowest reading since April 2021—core CPI has leveled off just under 3%, and services prices are hovering around a 4% year-over-year increase since late last year. That’s the same stickiness we worry about in US inflation data.

Chief Research Officer and Head of Portfolio Management at Rayliant Global Advisors, Co-PM of Rayliant's active Quantamental China ETF ($RAYC), EM Ex-China ETF ($RAYE), Japan ETF ($RAYJ), and Dev. Markets ETF ($RAYD)
Thanks to Nicole Petallides at Schwab Network for inviting Anthony Sassine, CFA and I to join The Watch List last week to discuss our outlook for China’s stock market after a rally over the last couple weeks: https://lnkd.in/gcZq7Dqd As I told Nicole, I believe this stimulus push has a different character than past ‘false starts’. Why? Because demand-oriented stimulus looks to be a much bigger part of it, and I’ve seen that kind of work on the fiscal side of things as the key missing ingredient to restoring domestic sentiment and getting China’s growth back on track. I also agree with Anthony’s point that mainland-listed A shares are a great place to look for opportunities. In fact, that’s precisely where Rayliant’s active #China strategy $RAYC places its focus, and I’m happy to be part of a team giving #ETF investors access to an active portfolio of onshore Chinese #stocks. You can find more information, including fund holdings, here: https://lnkd.in/gVaEHCwj.
