The Permanence of Capital Markets Performance Dispersion

The permanence of capital markets performance dispersion provides continuous opportunities for Alpha and Alpha-Beta capture in institutional portfolio strategies and related scaled product introductions.

<U/O> Matrix via Applied Indexation builds upon the common merits of market- and equal-weighted portfolio management approaches to further incorporate dimensioned company profiles within existing benchmarks, replacing standard sector/industry/subindustry component member nomenclature assignments with distinct business segment operation designations (equity, corporate credit).

Proprietary research suggests Alpha and Alpha-Beta efforts are advantaged by reengineered (then reconciled) conventional performance benchmarks to better reflect prevalent index/proxy constituent interrelationships across economic sectors and asset classes, improving peer group analytics and valuation.

<U/O> Matrix via Applied Indexation segments include Wind, Solar, Fuel Cells, Smart Grid, Water, LED, Biofuel, Automotive, Natural Gas, Storage, Aviation and Quantum plus further classifications detailing component member assignments based on corporate business segment operations (13 segments, 72 classifications, 271 single and multi-listed component members; n=71).

Featured Clean Energy thematic is derived from a combined Renewables/Diversified Industrials/Technology sector-themed overlay within Invesco’s publicly traded subindustry benchmark proxy ETF ticker PBW, utilizing the modularity of business segment operations embedded within company revenue lines to generate effective Tier-2: Alpha and Alpha-Beta screens.

At Venn’s intersection, sets and subsets of competing interests endure. The dynamic principles of business segment operations are three-fold: 1) multinational and Large-cap companies function as benchmark sector/industry/subindustry proxies based on scale (Alpha-Beta), 2) Small- and Mid-cap companies participate as competitive peers (Alpha) and, hence, acquisition candidates and 3) among subsets of 1) and 2) are companies provisioning multiple economic sectors, asset classes and geographies.

Successful portfolio strategies (fundamental, index-plus, systematic) and adaptive investable motifs (niche, thematic, megatrend) isolate Value in Growth, and Growth in Value, by aligning the prospective Alpha drivers directly associated with ecosystem composition and supply chain verticals.
