04Questions

About Path 03.

What is factor investing?

Factor investing picks stocks by a measurable trait that has historically been linked to higher returns, such as momentum, value, quality, low volatility or size. Path 3 gives each factor its own module, from the 12M-1M momentum signal to the small-cap premium, then covers combining them.

How are factors combined into one index?

Module 3.6, Combining Factors, covers multi-factor construction and signal mixing. A quantitative index applies such a blend as fixed rules, so the mix is set in advance and applied on a schedule.

Does Path 3 use Indian evidence for factor investing?

Yes. Module 3.1 covers Indian evidence for momentum, and Module 3.8, Factor Investing: India Evidence, uses NSE factor indices and Indian market data. Path 3 is rated Intermediate.
