Hello all,
The Sharpe Ratio and correlation measure are both important metrics in evaluating investment strategies. Each of those ratios can be used independently to compare competing strategies, but using them individually, in isolation, has a lot of disadvantages. The true power is hidden in the combination of them.
The new Quantpedia Pro’s February addition – the Strategy Grading report consists of 2 dotted charts. Each of them displays the universe of investment strategies; the first chart shows ETFs, and the second chart strategies backtested by Quantpedia. The X-axis measures the Sharpe ratio, and Y-axis measures the average correlation of each particular strategy against peers. Additionally, in each chart, the Model Portfolio, together with its individual constituents, is projected.
What are the Strategy Grading charts depicting?
Dots (ETFs/strategies) that are located more in the top right corner are the ones that were the most valuable for the portfolio construction over the selected time period. They had the highest risk-adjusted performance (Sharpe ratio measure) and the lowest correlation to all of the other peers. On the other hand, dots that are located more in the bottom left corner were less useful from the perspective of the portfolio construction.
How can we use this report in the day-to-day portfolio management workflow?
A location of the dot that represents the selected Model Portfolio shows how it fares against its peers (be it ETFs or systematic trading strategies). We can see which ETFs/strategies can be a useful addition to the portfolio (those that are located more to the top right corner), and if we analyze the individual components of the portfolio, we can also see which were detrimental to the overall risk-return characteristic of the Model Portfolio.
