How can portfolio managers use FactorBench?

Portfolio managers use FactorBench to create systematic screening processes, monitor factor exposures, run backtests with charts and seasonality, and generate reproducible watchlists for client portfolios.

How does backtesting help with portfolio construction?

Backtesting on point-in-time data shows how your screening criteria would have performed historically, helping validate strategies before deploying capital and setting realistic client expectations.

What data transparency features are available?

Every metric reports its source/basis (TTM/MRQ), survivor counts are shown for each period, and backtests include diagnostics and charts for compliance documentation.

Conservative growth portfolio: quality companies with reasonable valuations, sustainable dividends, and low debt.

⚙️ Systematic Process

Screen: P/E < 20, ROE > 12%, dividend yield > 2%, debt/equity < 0.5. Rank by composite quality-value score. Rebalance quarterly.

✅ Client Outcome

Transparent methodology with 15-year backtest shows 10.2% CAGR with 15% max drawdown. Shareable watchlist for execution.

Sample PM Workflow- conservative growth

Client Strategy: Conservative Growth

Screening Criteria:
  P/E < 20 (reasonable valuation)
  ROE > 12% (quality earnings)
  Dividend yield > 2% (income component)
  Debt/Equity < 0.5 (balance sheet strength)

Custom Formula:
  quality_value = (ROE/10 + 1/PE + DivYield) / 3

Ranking: quality_value descending
Selection: Top 30 stocks
Portfolio: Equal-weight
Rebalance: Quarterly

Backtest Results (15 years):
  CAGR: 10.2%
  Max Drawdown: 15%
  Sharpe Ratio: 0.85

Deliverables:
  - Quarterly watchlist refresh
  - Performance diagnostics
  - Methodology documentation for compliance
