什么是smart beta?



Smart beta,或smart-beta,是近年来美国金融投资领域一个较为热门的概念,常见于描述投资组合或基金的构建策略。Research Affiliates是应用Smart beta方法的先行者,其对smart beta的定义如下:

Smart beta strategies are designed to add value by systematically selecting, weighting, and rebalancing portfolio holdings on the basis of factors or characteristics other than market capitalization.

Smart beta is a rules-based portfolio construction process. Traditional index-linked strategies rely on price to decide which stocks to invest in and how much of each to hold… Smart beta strategies seek to exploit these market inefficiencies by anchoring on factors other than price. (Its) strategies break the link between price and portfolio weight in an effort to deliver better-than-market returns.

以上内容的意思大体是说,常规的指数跟踪型投资组合或基金往往根据股票的价格(或市值,market capitalization)高低来确定其在投资组合中的权重,而smart beta则刻意避开这种做法,试图通过一些其他指标来确定组合中的股票所占权重,以求获取超越市场平均水平的收益。

Smart beta,中文里可以翻译为:聪明贝塔。

其常采用的指标包括:book value(账面价值), dividends(分红), sales(营收), cash flow(现金流),momentum(动能/趋势),volatility(流动性)等。

目前美国投资市场上被冠以smart beta名号的基金多达数百只,一些有代表性的知名smart beta基金包括:Vanguard Growth ETF,iShares Russell 1000 Growth ETF,JPMorgan Diversified Return Global Equity等。

金融、小贷行业里的origination(s)是什么意思,如何理解?



Origination(复数originations),具有“起始、起源”的意思。但origination在金融、银行、小贷等行业中还是一个专用术语。Investopedia对其的英文解释为:(Origination) is the multi-step process every individual must go through when obtaining a mortgage or home loan, as well as other types of personal loans.(Origination指的是借款人在获得按揭或房贷(或其他个人贷款)时需经历的多个流程。)Origination在中文里可以翻译为:贷款发放、放贷额、新增贷款。Origination是考察贷款/小贷公司业务健康状况的一个重要财务指标。参考例句:Loan originations in the first quarter of 2017 were $1.96 billion, down 1% from the fourth quarter of 2016.(2017年一季度的新增贷款额为19.6亿美元,比2016年四季度降低1%。)

《Invest like a guru》精彩英文书摘: A good company is one that can continuously grow value…



“A good company is one that can continuously grow value through its operation. It will be worth more tomorrow than it is today. As opposed to mediocre businesses that erode value over time, a good business can grow its value and do so consistently, as in Yacktman’s analogy. The value of the company rises higher and higher and time is its friend.”

“一家好公司能够通过经营持续增长其价值。它明天会比今天更值钱。正如Yacktman的类比,与那些随着时间而贬值的平庸企业不同,好的企业能够持续增值。公司的价值会越来越高,而时间则是它的朋友。”

约翰·邓普顿(John Templeton)投资名言: A major cause of higher price is higher prices…



“A major cause of higher price is higher prices; but when the trend is reversed, then lower prices lead to still lower prices. To buy when others are despondently selling and to sell when others are avidly buying requires the greatest fortitude and pays the greatest ultimate rewards.”

— Sir John Templeton

“推高股价的一个重要原因是价格在不断上涨;而当趋势反转时,价格的持续下跌又会导致股价创出新低。在其他人沮丧时买入,并在其他人狂热时卖出,需要极大的克制力,回报也最为丰厚。”

— 约翰·邓普顿爵士
