Investment Process
ATSX utilizes a systematic, proprietary multi-factor model to sort and rank all liquid Canadian stocks based on five principal factors: Value, Price Momentum, Operating Momentum, Quality, and Trend.
The Fund goes long a portfolio of the highest expected return stocks selected from the top ranking from the multi-factor model while going short a portfolio of the lowest expected return stocks selected from the bottom ranking. The portfolio is rebalanced on a monthly basis. The long portfolio is up to 150% of NAV and the short portfolio is up to -50% of NAV
