factor-investing
Apply factor models to portfolio construction and fund evaluation, from CAPM through the Fama-French 3- and 5-factor models plus momentum. Use when the user asks about 'Fama-French', 'value factor', 'smart beta', 'factor tilt', 'momentum exposure', or the 'factor zoo', wants to run or interpret a factor regression (loadings, alpha after controlling for factors, R-squared, t-stats), decompose a manager's returns into factor exposures versus skill, or asks 'is my fund closet indexing'. Also trigger on SMB, HML, RMW, CMA, UMD, size/value/quality/profitability/low-vol premia, factor ETF or smart-beta product evaluation (factor purity, turnover, capacity, fees), factor cyclicality and the danger of factor timing, factor crowding, long-short academic factors versus long-only implementable tilts, and post-publication factor decay.
