This is a copycat trading strategy based on the quarterly 13F filings of 10 large hedge funds with assets under management (AUM) greater than $3.5-Billion.
The algorithm looks at the top 20 largest holdings from each of the 10 filers and then picks the 15 most frequently held stocks among all of the filers.
The model selects 12 of the 15 consensus picks from this hedge fund group with a ranking system based on quality.
Changes in the holdings occur only every three months, about 45 days after the end of a quarter when 13F filings become public information, February, May, August, and November.
From Feb-2008 to Aug-2020 this strategy would have produced an annualized return (CAGR) of 27.6%, significantly more than the 10.1% CAGR of the S&P 500 ETF (SPY) over this period.
