2 Agenda Table of Contents 1. Introducing Luo s QES Research 2. Crowdsourcing Revenue and Earnings Estimates 3. Text Mining Unstructured Corporate Filing Data 2
3 1. Introducing Luo s QES Research Top Ranked Quantitative and Macro Research Team. The team has been ranked #1 in the Institutional Investor s II-All America, II-Europe, and II-Asia surveys in the Quantitative Research sector, and top ranked in the Portfolio Strategy and Accounting & Tax Policy categories. Big Data and Machine Learning. We fully incorporate Big Data (e.g., text mining, news sentiment, satellite imagery, securities lending, crowding sourcing) and machine learning in our research, as reflected in our LEAP global stock selection model. Systematic Global Macro Research. Our research on Nowcasting economic growth in >40 countries/regions has received tremendous feedback from clients. Style rotation and factor timing is a core component of our global stock selection models. Alternative data sources (e.g., news sentiment, real-time hiring, satellite imagery, Google trends) are also fully integrated in our macro research. Useful Tools for Fundamental Managers. In addition to research, we also provide a suite of useful tools, including online screening and factor performance tracking, industry-specific modeling, position sizing and portfolio construction, and portfolio analytics to discretionary managers. Please contact us at Luo.QES@wolferesearch.com, if you are interested in our research and services. 3

5 2. Crowdsourcing Earnings and Revenue Estimates Alternative Big Data on Earnings and Revenue Estimate. In this research, we study an alternative data source based on the concept of crowdsourcing. Estimize is an online platform that allows individuals with different background to contribute their financial forecast. We find Estimize estimates to be not only more accurate and timelier than the sell-side, but also highly complementary to traditional factors. Estimize FES Model. Diving into detailed Estimize estimates, we find that accuracy can be further improved along three dimensions: the freshness of the estimates, analyst experience, and analyst skill. We then introduce a smart Estimize consensus called FES (Freshness, Experience, and Skill). Smart Strategies around Earnings Announcement. We explore three different type of trading strategies around earnings releases using the Estimize data. The pre-earnings announcement strategy buys stocks based on earnings revisions in the week before the earnings reporting date. PEAD (Post Earning Announcement Drift) strategy attempts to capture the drift alpha immediately after the earnings announcement, based on earnings surprise. Lastly, we propose a low risk longonly strategy by avoiding earnings risk and earnings uncertainty. Enhanced Value Strategies. Many fundamental and quantitative strategies explicitly or implicitly rely on earnings and revenue estimates. For long-term value investors, we show how Estimize data and our FES model can be used to boost performance. In the end, we also overlay our enhanced value strategy with a low risk tilt (by avoiding earnings uncertainty) to further improve return and reduce risk. 5
6 a) The Basics of Crowdsourcing Earnings and revenue estimates are probably the most important drivers of stock returns and risks. Unlike conventional sell-side consensus, Estimize crowdsources estimates from a wide range of contributors.

11 d) Trading around Earnings Announcements Earnings announcement is among the most significant market moving corporate events As earnings release date approaches, the Estimate data becomes more and more accurate. Estimize provides timelier estimates, while sell-side analysts are better at predicting earnings over a longer horizon. If the consensus moves up right before earnings announcement, a company is more likely to beat the consensus. Estimize EPS accuracy as a function of the # of days prior to earnings announcement Sell-side more accurate Estimize more accurate 100% 50% 0% # of days prior to earnings release An example of Pandora Media before earnings announcement CIQ EPS IBES EPS Estimize EPS Actual EPS Price # of estimates for Pandora Media before earnings announcement 60 CIQ IBES Estimize EPS Stock price # of estimates Sources: Estimize, IBES, S&P Capital IQ, FTSE Russell, Wolfe Research Luo s QES dates dates 11

14 e) Long-term Investment Strategies Benchmark earnings yield. For the benchmark factor, we use the consensus sell-side EPS, by taking a simple average of CIQ and IBES. Standard Estimize earnings yield. In this case, we replace the sell-side consensus with the Estimize estimates when we have at least three contributors in the Estimize database. Estimize FES earnings yield. Instead of replacing with the standard Estimize estimates, we use the FES model introduced in the previous section. EarningsYield = Monthly turnover FQ1 EPS Price Cumulative performance, long/short quintile portfolio on S&P Benchmark earnings yield Estimize Avg earnings yield Estimize FES earnings yield Sharpe ratio, different transaction cost assumptions 100% 90% 80% 70% 60% 50% 40% 30% 20% 10% 0% Benchmark earnings yield Estimize Avg earnings yield Estimize FES earnings yield Sources: Estimize, IBES, S&P Capital IQ, FTSE Russell, Wolfe Research Luo s QES No cost 2 bps 5 bps Benchmark earnings yield Estimize Avg earnings yield Estimize FES earnings yield 14

17 Lazy Prizes Firms in general use a well-defined format for their annual and quarterly filings. Almost identical language is simply repeated year after year, until someone actively intervenes and makes changes. When firms do break away from their tradition of textual descriptions in their filings, they typically foresee significant changes in their business, risk, or corporate strategy. Our NLP algorithms are able to identify potential issues from textual information among US transportation companies. An Example: American Express Price Substantial and increasingly intense competition for partner relationships; risk surrounding Airline industry. Ongoing legal proceedings can cause substantial monetary and reputational damages.

19 Interaction with traditional factors Lastly, it is interesting to note that our factor has almost no exposure to classic risk factors such as size, beta or volatility. One of the most important reasons of relying on alternative Big Data sources rests on the diversification benefit, in that they are expected to have minimal correlation with traditional factors. As expected, our signals based on EDGAR text mining are almost uncorrelated to any of our traditional factors. Finally, as a unique alpha source, the SPEC model should complement and add value to traditional factors. The performance of all traditional factors improves remarkably, when the SPEC is added. Growth factors witness the largest improvement. Improvement in risk-adjusted performance is even more significant. The Sharpe ratio improves by 50% for the majority of the conventional factors.
