Foundational Factors

This portfolio integrates two orthogonal factors: momentum and carry. The momentum component captures assets with strong, persistent price trends, while the carry strategy seeks to profit from funding rates and related statistical price distortions.

Together, these factors create a diversified return stream designed to outperform in a range of market conditions.

Its universe consists of the most liquid and actively traded assets, identified on rolling basis - various techniques employed to keep it both stable and relevant, as well as survivorship-bias free.

To balance each asset's risk contribution, positions are scaled according to the inverse of their rolling volatility.

The portfolio is rebalanced daily, at midnight UTC, weights are calculated at 11:55am UTC.

The backtest displayed here assumes fixed 0.5% transaction costs.
