Portfolio Characteristics
Portfolio Characteristics Analysis of Style
In Russell Style Classification (RSC), a sequential method of analyzing investment style developed and used by the Frank Russell Company's Manager Research Group. This method, also known as the Style Classification System (SCS), conditionally evaluates manager portfolio characteristics using non-linear probability of style membership functions to build a style assessment. The logic behind this system is explained by Chistopherson and Trittin (1995). The interest in portfolio characteristics flows from the expectation that portfolios with certain key equity characteristics will tend to earn a certain pattern of returns in the marketplace.
The equity characteristics analyzed are:
Price/Book
Dividend Yield
Price/Earnings
Return on Equity (5 Year)
Sector Deviation
Percent of Capitalization in the small cap segment
The characteristics are analyzed sequentially, or more precisely, conditionally, so that the assessment earlier in the chain of logic is refined using subsequent information. In this sense RSC's portfolio characteristics analysis of style is an artificial intelligence system.
