  1. 6. Evaluating the Effect of Meta-Labeling on Equity Market Neutral Strategy

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Statistiska institutionen

    Author : Niclas Wölner-Hanssen; [2023]
    Keywords : Meta-Labeling; Probabilistic Sharpe Ratio; Equity Market Neutral; Mathematics and Statistics;

    Abstract : This thesis aims to construct an Equity Market Neutral (EMN) strategy framework to predict intraday excess returns of stocks within the S&P 500 index by utilizing machine learning techniques proposed by (López de Prado, 2018). The constructed EMN strategies within the framework utilizes techniques such as Stacked Single Feature Importance (SSFI), sample weighting, Probabilistic Sharpe Ratio (PSR), and meta-labeling.

    Keywords : Optimal portfolio re-balancing; optimal liquidation; minimize transaction costs; trading-volume estimation; stochastic optimization; Financial mathematics; tracking error; execution strategies; opportunity costs; liquidation costs; applied mathematics; PRIIP regulation; Swing-pricing;

    Abstract : In this thesis we investigate the problem of portfolio re-balancing for fixed periods using a cost/risk adaptation model and stochastic optimization. The cost/risk adaptation model takes theory of optimal liquidity costs and risk preference to build a universe in which we try to find better strategies than conventional ones. READ MORE
