Building Meta-Strategies with Quantpedia API

2.June 2026

Quantitative investors usually start their research by analyzing individual trading strategies. They compare performance, risk, implementation complexity, market exposure, and the economic intuition behind each anomaly. However, once historical equity curves of individual strategies are available, a different research question becomes possible. Instead of asking only which individual strategy looks attractive, we can ask how to allocate capital across a broad universe of strategies.

This is where meta-strategies become useful. A meta-strategy does not invest directly in stocks, ETFs, futures, or other financial instruments. Instead, it invests in underlying trading strategies. These strategies become portfolio building blocks, and the researcher can apply allocation rules such as momentum, risk parity, volatility targeting, or mean-variance optimization directly to their return streams.

The Quantpedia API makes this type of analysis practical. It provides access not only to strategy metadata, but also to historical strategy equity curves. Therefore, users can move from strategy discovery to systematic strategy portfolio construction.

Active Dual Momentum GTAA Strategy

22.May 2026

Our study explores a weekly-rebalanced dual-momentum-based Global Tactical Asset Allocation (GTAA) strategy applied to a diversified set of ETFs. The strategy selects assets based on relative momentum and applies an absolute momentum filter to avoid declining investments. Ultimately, a single combined strategy was created by merging two sub-strategies, incorporating both shorter- and longer-term momentum signals. Backtesting over an extended period demonstrates that this approach delivers attractive risk-adjusted returns, achieving attractive Sharpe and Calmar ratios, while maintaining lower drawdowns compared to a simple equally weighted benchmark.
