Quant Glossary

Speak the Language of
Systematic Investing.

The 12 terms every factor investor in India should know โ€” defined clearly, without the jargon.

Factor Investing

An investment approach that targets specific drivers of return โ€” such as momentum, quality, or value โ€” rather than picking individual stocks based on subjective analysis.

Momentum Factor

The tendency for stocks that have performed well over the past 3โ€“12 months to continue outperforming in the near term. Extensively documented in academic research globally.

Alpha

Returns generated above a benchmark (like Nifty 50) after adjusting for risk. If a strategy earns 35% while the index earns 15%, the alpha is approximately 20%.

Sharpe Ratio

A measure of risk-adjusted return โ€” how much return is earned per unit of volatility. A higher Sharpe Ratio indicates more efficient return generation.

Drawdown

The peak-to-trough decline in portfolio value over a specific period. A 20% drawdown means the portfolio fell 20% from its highest point before recovering.

Rebalancing

The process of realigning portfolio weights to match the current model's prescribed allocations. InvesticaWealth rebalances monthly, systematically removing laggards and adding new signals.

Backtesting

Applying a trading strategy to historical data to assess how it would have performed. InvesticaWealth backtests every strategy against 10+ years of NSE data before going live.

Quantitative Model

A mathematical framework that processes data and generates investment signals without human intervention. It removes emotional bias from portfolio decision-making.

Smallcase

A basket of stocks or ETFs representing a theme or strategy, offered via regulated platforms. InvesticaWealth portfolios are accessible through Smallcase with your existing broker account.

CAGR

Compound Annual Growth Rate โ€” the annualised rate of return that smooths out year-to-year volatility. The most standardised way to compare investment performance over time.

Volatility

The statistical measure of how much an investment's returns fluctuate over time. Higher volatility = more uncertainty. InvesticaWealth's models explicitly account for and limit portfolio volatility.

Risk-Adjusted Return

Performance measured relative to the risk taken to achieve it. A strategy returning 25% with low volatility is superior to one returning 30% with extreme volatility.
