Investment
Style
PanAgora’s investment process follows a bottom-up approach. The strategy applies quantitative techniques combined with traditional investment theory. The investment team utilizes a proprietary, multi-factor, quantitative model to create a return forecast for eachstock in the Russell 2000 Value Index. Factors indicating relative value, such as book-to-price ratio, sales-to-price ratio, forward earnings-to-price ratios, and dividend yield, play a significant role in the model. Additional factor categories include earnings quality, earnings momentum, and price momentum. Each stock’s return forecast is then weighed against its contribution to the risk of the portfolio in comparison to the benchmark and transaction cost. PanAgora attempts to construct a portfolio with the highest return potential and the lowest risk. A key component of their investment process is the fundamental analysis of potential investments by the investment team. The insight is used to enhance and verify the quantitative techniques.
