In All About Factors, we cover the basics of what factors are, where we expect them to derive their excess returns from, their advantages and disadvantages and if there is indeed any merit to this approach or if it just another Wall Street marketing gimmick.
After covering the commonly accepted factors basics, we discuss expectations for factor investing, the theory as to why short-term pain must be present for long-term return, and some key considerations in moving from the academic research to creating investible portfolios.
Also explored is the current on-going debate between industry titans Rob Arnott (Research Affiliates) and Cliff Asness (AQR) as to the efficacy of using valuation-based spreads to time factor exposures.
Lastly, we look at some different methods that a retail investor can utilize smart-beta investing, by highlighting some of the current industry techniques for diversifying factor exposures and building a multi-factor portfolio.
Combining unconstrained and tactical investment strategies to seek hedging, equity-like, and absolute-return style investment exposure.
Explores how to combine tactical equity, minimum volatility, managed futures, risk parity, and other approaches.
How effective is your method of managing portfolio risk? We compare and contrast different approaches – including fixed income, managed futures, low volatility equities, and tactical – to explore the relative protection they can deliver versus the return drag they can create.
Asset bubbles: what are they, why do they exist, and what are their implications? With near record-low interest rates, Newfound Research presents our view as to whether we are in a bond bubble and the implications for investors going forward.

This is a pdf presentation of the book Excess Returns: a comparative study of the methods of the world's greatest investors. The presentation explains the various topics that are discussed in the book and show plenty of practical examples to understand the main points. It challenges the Efficient Market Hypothesis by showing some extraordinary track records in the investment world. It explains where top investors look for bargains. It shows how they perform a due diligence and how they value stocks. A separate section is devoted to the way top investors buy and sell various types of stocks, and how they buy and sell over stock market cycles. It also explains the various psychological aspects that top investors deem essential to beat the market.
How important are the rules used to create smart beta portfoliosRalph Goldsticker
Most Smart Beta presentations are about: “What and Why?”
This presentation addresses: “Do the rules used to construct a Smart Beta portfolio matter?”
Our approach was to use alternative portfolio construction rules to simulate multiple 25-year return histories for Low Volatility, Fundamental Indexing and Momentum strategies, and then compare their average returns, risks, drawdowns and factor exposures.
"Quant Trading for a Living – Lessons from a Life in the Trenches" by Andreas...Quantopian
It takes hard work, skill and time to develop robust trading models, but that is just the beginning of the journey. The question then is what you can do with it, and how to go about building a career in quant finance.
If your plan is to move beyond hobby trading and build a career in in the professional quant trading field, the work is not over once you have a great model.
This presentation will discuss how to leverage your trading models into building a successful career in quant trading. We will look at the various options available, and their respective merits and faults. Whether you want to trade your own money for a living, find a job in the industry or build your own business, your model design will have to be adapted to your aim. We will discuss what type of models and results there is a market for, how to go about finding investors for your trading, and how the real economics of the business look.
"Three Dimensional Time: Working with Alternative Data" by Kathryn Glowinski,...Quantopian
From QuantCon 2017: Lookahead bias and stale data when used in an algorithm are generally categorized as "incorrect data". In fact, the issue does not lie with the data itself, but instead is an issue of perspective. This talk will examine how data is typically viewed through the lens of time, and why, on the whole, that approach is wrong.
At Quantopian, we've tried several ways of handling data with regards to time, and we'll talk about lessons learned along the way. We'll also discuss what multidimensionality means for financial data specifically, and how we can apply this to get better results in backtesting.
Additionally, we'll touch on how to apply multidimensionality to more general data, and why it's important for anyone working with applied data to take this approach.
Taking on Wall Street: A Comparative Study of Strategies Sourced from "The Pr...Quantopian
A unique set of data comprised of strategy returns sourced through traditional means from managers (“the pros”) and from strategies developed on Quantopian’s platform (“the crowd”) is analyzed. We detect distinct groups of strategy styles within the data: In particular, some "crowd" strategies fall into their own clusters distinct from those within the "pro" data set. A few do overlap as well. We go on to analyze the various strategy groups with respect to environmental conditions and risk factors (among other relevant features), teasing out differences in trading styles.
Ultimately we judge how well “the crowd” is doing so far, in terms of being able to compete with the established managers not only in terms of performance but also with respect to risk management and overall novelty and diversification in the trading styles that have emerged. Finally we address general notions (and pitfalls) of building meta strategies from manager return streams.

"Opportunities and Pitfalls in Momentum Investing" by Gary Antonacci, Author ...Quantopian
Presented at QuantCon Singapore 2016, Quantopian's quantitative finance and algorithmic trading conference, November 11th.
Gary will begin by explaining the origins and history of momentum investing. He will show why momentum is called “the premier anomaly.” He will describe the way momentum is most commonly used and why this may not be the best approach. He will discuss the hidden risks associated with momentum and other factor based investments.
Using easily understood examples and historical research findings, he will show how relative strength momentum can enhance investment returns, while trend-following absolute momentum can dramatically decrease risk exposure.
Gary will show which assets are best to use for momentum investing. Finally, he will describe the behavioral biases you must deal with and the mind set you need to become a successful momentum investor.
In this talk you will learn how to:
a) Spot the best momentum investment opportunities in any market environment.
b) Protect yourself from bear market risk exposure and behavioral biases.
c) Construct your own low-cost, rules-based dual momentum portfolio that is simple to understand and easy to maintain.

BlackRock forecasts smart beta investing oriented toward size, value, quality, momentum, and low volatility to reach $1 trillion by 2020 and $2.4 trillion by 2025. Gary’s talk will show that this growth may not be justified due to these factors' lack of robustness, consistency, persistence, intuitiveness, and investability. Gary will also show that the success attributed to these factors would be better directed toward macro momentum and the short interest ratio.

Lesson 3
Section 3: Once again there are questions listed for each of the chapters in this section.
Respond to them fully after stating the questions.
Section 3: Chapter 7: Question 1
The five steps for classical decision making are found on page 169, and the definition is on
page 171. In a risk environment or an uncertain environment, it may be very difficult to follow
these steps. How can a risk environment or an uncertain environment affect this process?
What is the difference between a risk environment and an uncertain environment?
Section 3: Chapter 7: Question 2
In the text, there is a discussion of framing errors, confirmation errors, escalating
commitment, availability bias, representativeness bias, anchoring bias, and adjustment bias.
Briefly define each of these errors and biases and provide an example of each one (not the one
in the text). These are particularly important since they are found in all levels of an
organization.
Section 3: Chapter 7: Question 3
Managers are often confronted with structured problems which require programmed
decisions, and unstructured problems which require non-programmed decisions. Serious
problems may require a crisis decision which is the most serious type of non-programmed
decision.
Provide an example of a programmed and non-programmed decision which you have
encountered in your own experience. How do you determine whether a decision is really a
programmed decision, or whether it actually requires a unique solution? When should senior
management become involved?
(Many programmed decisions are just that today. In retail they may be built into the computer
system, and made at the cash register – such as returns, returns with or without receipts, or
information available regarding a customer’s past transactions!)
Section 3: Chapter 8: Question 1
Organizations should have a mission statement, a strategic plan, organizational plans,
tactical plans, goals and objectives. Which of these should primarily be developed by directors
and senior management, middle management, and supervisors and other first level
management personnel? How can these plans be best aligned in order to clearly involve all
levels of management in these goals?

YHÄ USEAMPI YRITYS SAI KASVUSIJOITUKSEN
Bisnesenkelit ja pääomasijoitusyhtiöt sijoittivat ennätyksellisen moneen potentiaaliseen kasvuyritykseen
Finnish Business Angels Network ry (FiBAN) ja Suomen pääomasijoitusyhdistys ry (FVCA) ovat keränneet vuoden 2014 tilastoja yksityissijoittajien ja pääomasijoitusyhtiöiden tekemistä sijoituksista kasvuyrityksiin Suomessa.

Edellisvuoden ennätykselliseen kokonaissummaan 279 M€ vaikutti vahvasti Supercellin 100 M€ rahoituskierros.
BISNESENKELIAKTIIVISUUS 2014
Yksityiset bisnesenkelit sijoittivat ennätykselliset 21 M€ 238:aan yritykseen. FiBANin keräämän sijoitussumman lisäksi bisnesenkelit sijoittivat 12 M€ yhdessä Finnveran kanssa, eli todettuja bisnesenkelisijoituksia oli yhteensä yli 33 M€ vuonna 2014. FiBANin verkosto ja sen kautta sijoitettava pääoma ovat suurimpia Euroopassa. Mediaanisijoitus oli 25.000 € kuten edellisenä vuonna. Keskimäärin bisnesenkeli teki 1,6 uutta sijoitusta vuonna 2014.
Bisnesenkeleiden rooli ja merkitys alkuvaiheen kasvuresurssina kasvaa. Sijoitukset loivat vuoden 2014 aikana yli 1200 työpaikkaa ja olivat siten tehokas ja konkreettinen tapa vaikuttaa uusien työpaikkojen syntyyn.
Vuonna 2013 käyttöön otettu bisnesenkeleiden verokannustin ei ole saavuttanut toivottua suosiota. Bisnesenkelikannustin toimii kuitenkin erinomaisena symbolisena viestinä edistämään kiinnostusta yksityiseen kasvuyrityssijoittamiseen Suomessa. FiBAN toivoo verokannustimen kehittämisen jatkamista.

10. – Select ventures that appear most capable of influencing critical market elements.
Create and influence localized markets OR
Compete in large growing markets
– Emphasize the current means and capabilities of the venture rather than on plans for
acquiring the “best” means to reach their original goals.
Adjust goals to use current means OR
Acquire means critical to insightful goals
– Encourage the venture to make smaller investments that get to cash flow positive
rather than investing in the resources suggested by market research to “hit plan.”
Overhead trails growth OR
Pre-position assets to time great opportunity
– Avoid prediction as the basis for investment decisions.
Emphasize affordable loss OR
Maximize expected values
Early stage investing perspectives
11. Investors prefer opportunities:
in large and fast growing markets
with customers lined up waiting to repeatedly buy a high margin product
where no powerful competitors exist
with the potential to ‘keep others out’ of the market
led by experts in the field who have prior entrepreneurial success
The problem is the sequence; prioritization
i.e. insightful market research to demonstrate market potential,
or win a great beta customer?
i.e. win a new great team member
or finish the prototype to demonstrate claims?
Selecting ventures for investment
12. Staged Decisions in Angel Investing
• Angels use predictive information more than they think
– Especially early in the process
• This shifts as we approach actual investment decisions
• Investors with more Entre Experience Prefer Non-Predictive Info.

Conjoint analysis of VC investment evaluation.
Simultaneous manipulation of preferences
1. The match between VC’s and Entre’s significantly increased funding
2. Social Capital and Match were jointly as ‘powerful’ as the economics
Economics: Hi Potential vs. Moderate
Social Capital: Strong rep and Referrals vs. Moderate
Entre Mindset: Effectual vs. Causal
14. VERY Active Angels
• Interviewed 30 “Super” Angels
• Average of about 30 angel investments.
• Min $8M invested (max of $100M)
• Amgen, Autocad, Google, Intel, Apple, Twitter,
National Semiconductor, Sun Micro, Plaxo,
Guidant, Silicon Valley Bank, Teledyne
15. Searching For Something
• What role does their network play in their investing?
• What is their approach to angel investing?
Criteria, Strategy, Process, “Rules” etc.
• How do they manage investments after the fact?
• What have they learned along the way?
16. 3 key findings to date
• From experience: Better at reading people
– No quitters, no liars, no jerks, big passion
– real FIT between the person and the opportunity.
– Some love “coachability” but not all.
• Major Sector Focus
– Med Devices is not Bio Tech
– Consumer Internet is not Network Technology
– Software is not hardware.
– Software isn’t even software
• Strategies: Equifinality
17. Equifinality: Many paths same end
• Broad and Thin, support in “key moments,” team
interaction is critical, no follow unless “no-brainer”
• Co-Founder: start with 100% ownership, use it to build
team and opportunity
• Wealthy Sector Expert: go deep on funding as needed,
forget co-investors, work with experts you know
Strategic Coherence, Yes (though not always consistent)

22. Prediction vs. Control
Prediction: To the extent that I can predict the future, I can control my outcomes.
efforts to insightfully position for success based on expectations/forecasts for the
development of important market elements. This often includes modeling event spaces, estimating
probabilities and consequences, and forming sophisticated portfolio strategies with multiple options.
Assumes that market elements are predominantly independent of the organization.
Control: To the extent that I can control the future, I do not need to predict it.
efforts to deliberately construct/create market elements, such as defined products, articulated
demand preferences, and market structures (i.e. channels, technical standards, common practices).
Assumes either the non-existence of some key elements, or the organization’s ability to significantly
affect the evolution of those elements.
Prediction is uniquely difficult with new ventures,
while efforts to directly construct markets may be particularly effective.
23. Predictive. The future is a reliable
continuation of the past. Accurate
prediction is possible and useful.
Transformative. The future as shaped (at least
partially) by actions of all players. Prediction is
neither easy nor useful.
5. Approach
Avoid Contingencies. Surprises are
bad. Contingencies are managed by
careful planning and focus on
targets.
Leverage Contingencies. Surprises are good.
New developments encourage imaginative re-
thinking of possibilities and continual
transformations of targets.
4. Contingency
Perform Competitive Analysis. Protect.
Strategy is driven by potential
competitive threats.
Form Partnerships. Grow. Strategy is created
jointly through partnerships to create new
opportunities.
3. Attitude
Toward
Outsiders
Calculate Expected Return. Pursue the
(risk adjusted) largest opportunity
and accumulate required resources.
Maximize upside potential.
Set Affordable Loss. Pursue interesting
opportunities without investing more
resources than you can afford to lose. Set a
limit on downside potential.
2. Risk, Return
and
Resources
Set a Goal. Goals determine actions. For
example, the goal of achieving X, will
dictate I need person A with skills
matched to X.
Assess Your Means. Take action based on what
you have available:
* Who I am
* What I know
* Whom I know
Example: I have person A, I can achieve X, Y, or Z
