📊 1. Quantitative Screening Methodology

Our stock selection methodology enforces strict quantitative equations across 4 core dimensions:

1. Return Quality Dissection: exact ROE decomposition and WACC spread hurdle. 2. Quality of Earnings (Sloan Ratio): Identifies Accrual Anomalies. Strict [-10%, 10%] band. 3. Dynamic Macro Swapping: Automatically pivots weights based on 10Y Treasury and VIX readings. 4. Microstructure & 99% Parametric VaR: Drops highly correlated pairs (r > 0.75) and scales exposure based on portfolio VaR.
