3 Smart Holdings predicts what stocks are going to be bought by institutions and mutual funds - the smart money Avg IC Bottom Decile Top Decile Spread Max Drawdown Sharpe Ratio Global % 22.0% 23.5% -19.0% 1.70 North America % 15.3% 8.0% -42.2% 0.44 Developed Europe % 14.8% 21.2% -32.4% 1.33 Developed Asia % 24.3% 34.0% -13.2% 2.43 Emerging Markets % 24.3% 23.6% -15.4% 1.53 Japan % 4.5% 9.1% -17.1% 0.81 Monthly rebalance, , top 98.5% by market cap Our model is based on predicting which stocks are going to be bought by institutional managers by identifying the unique investment profile (value, growth, momentum, etc.) of each institutional investor, and then determining which stocks best fit each investor s unique profile 3
4 The typical methods used to follow the smart money using regulatory holdings data don t work out of the box. Traditional approaches and shortfalls Best Ideas (Cohen) Identify high conviction holdings as holdings that differ significantly from index weight or average portfolio weight Invest in high conviction names Works well until ~2002 and then goes dead Hedge Fund Holdings Buy names held by significant number of hedge funds Only works if you knew what they held at the end of the qtr, falls apart with 45 day lag in 13-F filings Buy what worked last month Worked for a while in the old days, then fell apart in more recent times of market turbulence Cohen, Randolph B., Polk, Christopher K. and Silli, Bernhard, Best Ideas (March 15, 2010). Available at SSRN: 4
5 Ownership-based models are profitable only to the extent that they can be predictive of institutional behavior. Holdings data is reported to SEC at a substantial lag to the quarter end (typically 45 days). Globally, reported holdings are lagged as well. Comparison of returns to a naïve ownership model assuming three horizons of data availability: Data available (45 days after quarter) Data at end of quarter Look-ahead predictive model Data Available Perfect Data Perfect Foresight Annualized Return -9.97% -0.62% 46.60% Sharpe Ratio Max Drawdown -69% -25% 0% 5

10 Fundamental Factors Screening Component: Track Fund Preferences over time For each owner-factor pair, we not only determine if the owner is using the factor in their process, but the relative importance of each factor. Cells highlighted in blue indicate an owner-factor where the owner shows preference towards that factor. Each owner occupies a column, and each factor a row. This allows us to determine exactly what is important to each owner, and ultimately, what the market will be purchasing next. Thousands of Owners in the Thomson Reuters OP Datafeed Vanguard Growth Equity Fund (VGEQX) Top 5 Factors Basic PriceMo Long Term PriceMo StarMine ARM EPS Long Term Growth FY1 Revenue Growth Bottom 5 Factors F12M Dividend Yield Price / Intrinsic Value EV / Sales Relative Value F12M Earnings Yield 10

13 Average Monthly Spread Screening Component: Peer Holdings We utilize analyst and industry peer information to determine if a fund is already concentrated in a given peer group We found that incorporating peer ownership into our model added value by determining which securities have high peer ownership levels at funds. 1.8% 1.6% 1.4% 1.2% 1.0% 0.8% 0.6% 0.4% 0.2% 0.0% Performance for Ownership model by peer quintile Peer Ownership Quintile Low peer ownership High peer ownership 13
14 Change Component track securities We monitor securities across all fundamental factors and also look at changes to capture stocks becoming more (or less) aligned with the Street Securities that are beginning to show up on manager s screens are of special interest. These names are potentially new targets for funds and are increasing the alignment of their fundamentals with the preferences of funds. Example screen result: 14

22 AA institutional ownership went from 81% in Aug 2008 to 70% in July 2009 while both Smart Holdings scores decreased measurably. Smart Holdings Screening Component Rank Smart Holdings Change Component Rank 22

26 A simple linear combination of Smart Holdings and StarMine s Analyst Revision model improves long-short spread returns and IC s. All weight on Smart Holdings All weight on ARM 26
27 Using Smart Holdings peer concentration metric to identify overbought securities improves performance of StarMine s Intrinsic value model Remove securities that are not widely held but whose peers are widely held according to the Smart Holdings peer concentration metric (implies that the security is the un-popular stock amongst a popular peer group) to uncover securities that are relatively unknown. 27
28 Removing low scoring Smart Holdings securities from a universe of stocks removes higher volatility names not of interest to the buyside and results in improved Sharpe Ratios and reduced drawdowns in StarMine s multifactor Val-Mo model 28

30 StarMine Smart Holdings uses Ownership data to follow the Smart Money Some Smart Holdings lessons (and debunking): Don t chase factor returns Lags in reporting kill performance of buying backward-looking holdings Don t buy names others are buying, buy the factors Leverages a relatively under-utilised data set No good academic references on this approach, but our white paper is a good start. 30
