Data Refinement (Business Segment Operations - BSOs)


In advance: Refinement of data inputs intuitively improves peer group analytics and valuation, even within a finite investment universe (index, proxy, asset class). Stochastic opportunities persist in Tier 2: Alpha and Alpha-Beta screens to exploit capital market inefficiencies (e.g. sector/industry/subindustry nomenclature) patterned sequentially at distinct points of inflection.

Asserting the premise, thematically, of a Clean Tech motif derived from a combined Renewables/Diversified Industrials/Technology sector-themed overlay requires only a small allowance. In our example, we assign Invesco’s WilderHill Clean Energy ETF as the benchmark proxy/index to demonstrate an actively managed absolute return portfolio strategy borne from levering a prevalent niche benchmark construct against unconstrained ranged performance dispersion among differentiated growth rates—individually and collectively.

Separately, in suggested independent parallel research, note common limitations in conventional fund reporting (six sector structure) and third-party data presentation (i.e. lithium recycling as Waste Management, etc.).

To begin an iterative process:

1) Revisit tenets of Venn in tandem with adaptive cross-asset multi-factor portfolio strategies: a) multinational and Large-cap companies function as benchmark sector/industry/subindustry proxies based on scale (Alpha-Beta), b) Small- and Mid-cap companies participate as competitive peers (Alpha) and, hence, acquisition candidates and c) among subsets of a) and b) are companies provisioning multiple economic sectors, asset classes and geographies.

2) Deconstruct company revenue lines of component members into business segment operations (BSOs) in order to more descriptively characterize ecosystem composition and supply chain vertical dynamics; link BSOs in <U/O> Matrix via Applied Indexation format.

3) Compute variances of component member market capitalization relative to respective portfolio position weight per segment/classification based on BSOs; chart, ladder in time series.

4) Rerun traditional screens, rank.

5) Complete Tier 3: Fundamental Analysis to assess company-specific performance (cash flow, growth, profitability) and relative value.

PBW total return: 2023YTD -14.3%, 3-mos. -16.3%, 12-mos. -39.2%; YTD performance dispersion +194.7%/-80.1% (092223 am).

<U/O> Matrix via Applied Indexation segments include Wind, Solar, Fuel Cells, Smart Grid, Water, LED, Biofuel, Automotive, Natural Gas, Storage and Aviation plus further classifications detailing component member assignments based on corporate business segment operations (12 segments, 62 classifications, 256 single and multi-listed component members; n=75 as of 063023); next scheduled update 101023.

UO Matrix via Applied Indexation (Benchmark Analysis 1.0)

 

In advance: recently reported Clean Tech thematically segmented ETFs indexed price returns charted by a major third party data provider usefully demonstrate performance on an equal weighted price basis (Automotive, Wind, Solar, Battery, Hydrogen) though unfortunately excludes individual component member (stock) performance contributors over +50.0%, and also presents an only standard broad equity means to establish relative performance (S&P 500) as opposed to adopting a direct composite measure (e.g. Clean Tech benchmark ETF - PBW).

w/r/t benchmark analysis, the opportunity cost for institutional players is illustrated by performance dispersion among Clean Tech index proxy PBW component members. Specifically, PBW constituent total returns range from +209.1%/-89.1% (YTD as of 082523) with a significant number (n=10/75; 13.3%) above the +50.0% segment threshold (n=9; 12.0% are below -50.0%).

The goal for portfolio managers of course is to realize incremental (or decremental) outperformance in up (or down) markets thru fundamental research and security selection against a clearly defined benchmark index—first order analysis, the long and short of the matter—irrespective of arbitrary/constrained chart fit distortions or in deference to favorable macro or Beta total return comparables (SPY: +16.5% YTD, -3.3% 1-mo, +5.1% 3-mos, +10.0% 12-mos; PBW: -6.4% YTD, -15.4% 1-mo, -1.6% 3-mos, -39.8% 12-mos).

At times, when Big Data obfuscates or complementary portfolio positioning is prioritized, a redetermination of the research process may likely improve peer group analytics and valuation; an opportunity to isolate and capture differentiated growth rates within/among companies across economic sectors and asset classes, thematic or otherwise. In the example highlighted below, we advocate an alternative methodology for Tier-2: Alpha and Alpha-Beta screening (strategies: index-plus, niche, thematic, megatrend, factor-based, long/short).

<U/O> Matrix - Establishing Predictive Value: Applied Indexation, Hierarchical Data Sets and Competitive Market Information is an intuitive slideshow tutorial derived from a combined Renewables/Diversified Industrials/Technology sector-themed overlay within PBW, utilizing the modularity of corporate business segment operations embedded in company revenue lines to refine conventionally assigned sector/industry/subindustry nomenclature on a portfolio-weighted basis [ref: EPV (Tutorial) link at www.universalorbit.com].

2Q23 Corporate Earnings (Update)


In advance: 2Q23 corporate earnings reports thus far reinforce sentiment for a soft (or no) US economic landing, evidenced in part by outperformance of Small- and Mid-cap factor-based strategies (ref. ETF benchmark proxies: PRFZ +4.4% 1-mo. total return, +17.2% 3-mos., +14.9% YTD23, as of 080423; SMLF +3.0%, +14.7%, +12.7%) relative to higher quality Large- and Mid-cap asset classes (QUAL: +1.5%, +12.0%, +20.7%) at interim-period points of inflection.

Core sectors represent a continuum of investable opportunities, amidst both evolving public policy and technological innovation, even across volatile economic cycles and subcycles. The Energy complex for example, bounded by Oil&Gas (XLE: +6.8%, +12.3%, +1.3%; XOP: +11.8%, +24.9%, +7.7%; OIH: +17.6%, +34.3%, +12.4%) and Clean Tech (PBW: -0.9%, +19.1%, +7.1%), provides structured parameters for complementary niche/thematic/megatrend institutional portfolio strategies.

For depth, relevant subsector ETFs further characterize Clean Tech segments: Solar (TAN: -12.2%, -8.1%, -14.0%), Wind (FAN: -5.7%, -6.6%, -3.9%), Grid (GRID: -3.5%, +6.8%, +17.3%), Lithium (LIT: -4.9%, +7.8%, +8.9%) and Automotive (CARZ: -0.5%, +20.4%, +40.0%).

Adaptive principles of indexation are requisite to improve peer group analytics and valuation during this third iteration of benchmark analysis, an essential means to isolate and capture PBW component member performance dispersion in Alpha-strategies (+62.6%/-81.2% 1-mo., +178.7%/-81.5% 3-mos., +199.5%/-91.9% YTD23, +102.6%/-97.1% 12-mos.).

Proprietary <U/O> Matrix via Applied Indexation, derived from a combined Renewables/Diversified Industrials/Technology sector-themed overlay within PBW, utilizes the modularity of corporate business segment operations embedded in company revenue lines to refine conventionally assigned sector/industry/subindustry nomenclature on a relative portfolio-weighted basis (12 segments, 62 classifications, 256 single and multi-listed component members; n=75).

Effective <U/O> Matrix via Applied Indexation Tier-2: Alpha and Alpha-Beta screens are generated from a comprehensive set of four spreadsheets: 1] Anatomy (component members, data introduction), 2] Iteration (industry sort, computations), 3] Matrix (applied indexation, data analytics) and 4] Summary Template (composite data, portfolio characteristics).

1QTR23 UO Matrix via Applied Indexation

 

In advance: 1QTR23 <U/O> Matrix via Applied Indexation is currently available in multi-sheet format utilizing the modularity of business segment operations to illustrate effective Alpha and Alpha-Beta screens derived from a combined Renewables/Diversified Industrials/Technology sector-themed overlay within publicly traded Clean Energy Subindustry Benchmark ETF - PBW.

>> PBW total return: 1Q23 +6.7%, CY23 -6.4%; 12-month performance dispersion +127.0%/-56.0% (042823).

>> SPX 12-month Fwd PE=18.1/042823 v. 17.8/1Q23, 17.3/4Q22, 15.8/3Q22, 17.5/2Q22 (FactSet); CAPE 29.7 from 29.2/27.5/31.1/34.6, mean 17.0 (Shiller).

>> PBW Fwd adj. PE=29.8 Beta=1.5 versus 26.7/1.5, 31.9/1.5 and 30.4/1.5 sequentially [40.0 limit; N/A totals 54.6% (v. 62.0%) based on portfolio weight and 61.3% of count (-0.9%), 10.5% on market capitalization (-5.9%); Large-cap 21.3% (+3.1%), Mid-cap 47.5% (+2.0%), Small-cap 31.2% (-5.3%)].

<U/O> Matrix via Applied Indexation segments include Wind, Solar, Fuel Cells, Smart Grid, Water, LED, Biofuel, Automotive, Natural Gas, Storage and Aviation plus further classifications detailing component member assignments based on corporate business segment operations (12 segments, 61 classifications, 256 single and multi-listed component members; n=75).

Current capital markets sentiment indicates consensus on approaching near-term peaks in both rates and equity valuations, evident in select benchmark proxy ETF total return performance comparisons: e.g., Smart Beta Quality factor ETF (QUAL +11.1%, CY23 042823) over the S&P500 ETF (SPY +9.2%) bested by Large-cap technology Nasdaq 100 (QQQ +21.3%; FY22 -32.6%). Given ecosystem dynamics and supply chain verticals prevalent in institutional portfolio strategies (conventional, index-plus, long/short, niche, thematic, megatrend, factor-based), the permanence of tiered/laddered risks to valuation across economic cycles and subcycles underscores persistent opportunities to capture breadth of performance dispersion within an investment universe.

<U/O> Matrix via Applied Indexation characterizes the corporate composition of component members within an assigned benchmark, defining parameters of differentiated growth rates within companies then linking to peers via business segment operations (Large-cap, Mid-cap, Small-cap; international and domestic). Proprietary research suggests refined hierarchical data sets improve analytics, isolating drivers of valuation at distinct points of inflection. This, coupled with competitive market information and embedded forward looking fundamental analysis, efficiently profiles idiosyncratic catalysts on a portfolio-weighted segment/classification relative basis to isolate Value in Growth (and Growth in Value; cross-asset, multi-factor).
