Abstract

Even though there is little evidence of predictability in stock specific risk, most equity market neutral managers still rely on stock picking as the preferred way to generate abnormal returns. In this article, the authors document the benefits of a new form of market-neutral portfolio strategy that aims at delivering absolute return over the full business cycle through systematic equity style timing decisions. Using a robust multi-factor recursive modeling approach, they find strong evidence of predictability in value and size style differentials. They use these econometric forecasts to generate systematic style timing allocation decisions. These portfolio decisions can be implemented using Exchange Traded Funds on US style indexes.
