Dynamic Stock Industrial Classification

Use graph-based analysis to re-classify stocks and experiment different re-classification methodologies to improve Markowitz portfolio optimization performance in the low-frequency quantitative trading context.

Note that for strategy confidentiality, many files are hidden.

Module Breakdown

This project contains the following five modules:

  • factor generation: compute and store factors alpha factors and risk factors for low-frequency trading;
  • backtest: low-frequency backtest framework;
  • factor combination: combine factors using ML models;
  • portfolio optimization: Markowitz portfolio optimization, with turnover, industrial exposure, style exposure, and various other constraints.
  • graph clustering: experiment different graph-based clustering on stocks.

Data

China A-Share stocks, the corresponding major index data (sz50, hs300, zz500, zz1000), and the member stock weights from 20150101 to 20211231, provided by Shanghai Probability Quantitative Investment.

Quick Start

It’s very easy to use this platform!

Tips:

  • run each module at a time;
  • change config for corresponding module in respective files (file location indicated inside run.py).

To run each module, in current directory:

  • factor generation: python run.py gen
  • backtest: python run.py backtest
  • factor combination: python run.py comb
  • portfolio optimization: python run.py opt
  • graph clustering: python run.py cluster
