However, both these styles suffer from periods of prolonged underperformance A combination of these two negatively correlated styles can result in a much more stable performance Using long term correlation structure, Best Styles strategies target style allocations that can outperform over the entire business cycle Dec 2004 Dec 2016: Historic simulation: performance before transaction costs.

23 Summary China has the potential to be to Emerging Markets what the US is presently to the global developed equity markets The depth and breadth of stocks in China provides a good testing ground for factor investors to test their strategies Many traditional investment styles can be harvested for risk premia in Chinese A-shares similar to the experience in Developed Markets China also opens up the opportunity to explore new factors like mean reversion as a means of delivering excess returns Diversification is the key to better risk-adjusted performance. Factors can be combined in various ways to improve risk adjusted performance Risk management is as important as ever for achieving stable outperformance over the long term
