Quantitative strategy

Sell into strength

Bualuang Research
29 Aug 2014

Our quant model indicates that the SET is


now at the cusp of turbulence

Market volatility is bottoming out and is


likely to rise during September, suggesting
that volatility risk will re-emerge

Our short-term Bull2Bear Index has risen to


near the high risk zone, while the Momentum
Strength Index indicates a bearish
divergence pattern against the SET, implying
greater risk of downside

Investment summary

The SET went on a mini-rally during the last two weeks, as we had anticipated. The market
increased 1.1% from mid-month and surpassed 1550, which is psychologically significant. The SET
has recently traded near the cusp of turbulence.

We anticipate that the Thai bourse will enter a 7-10% correction phase in September. Our
reasoning is as follows:

Our market breadth toolsthe short-term Bull2Bear and medium-term Bull2Bear are now at
extremely positive levels. Historically, such high levels have been followed by market pull-backs.

The Momentum Strength Index points to a bearish divergence pattern against the SET.

Market volatility is likely to head north to its long-term average, based on our volatility
forecasting model. The implication is that SET is now ready to enter a turbulent phase and will
be much more sensitive to negative news.

The bourses forward PER has recently hit its most expensive level since 2009. While in
comparative terms, it now trades at premiums to most major marketsS&P500, MSCI EU and
MSCI Asia ex-Japan. As such, we cant see any rational argument for foreigners to aggressively
buy into the Thai market.

Quantitative Strategyslide 2

Recommended portfolio Type I: Balanced portfolio style

We build the balanced portfolio style based on following rules:


1) Buy stocks in tiers 1-3 of the Overall Scores only (see slides 6-8),
2) Those stocks must be in tiers 1-3 of the Sectors in Radar (see slide 5),
3) Portfolio exposure varies from time to time, depending on perceived prevailing market downside risk.
Note: Recommendations in the Balanced Portfolio (BP) may differ from the Fully-invested Portfolio, as the BP
allows adding stocks in tiers 1-3, but the Fully-invested portfolio allows only tier-1 stocks.

Factor model by rank: Fundamental-cum-technical approaches


We applied both fundamental and technical factors to derive the stock picks in our portfolio. Through this crosssectional approach, we ranked the stocks on five fundamental criteria (forward PER, dividend yield, EPS growth, ROE
and D/E ratio) and on three technical measures (momentum, direction and volume).
The combined scores based on those measures give us the stock preferences in our quant playbookCCET, SIRI,
HEMRAJ, ROJNA, CPALL, CENTEL, VGI, BEC, TISCO, IVL, SVI, LOXLEY, GUNKUL, ITD, CK, ANAN, BECL, MINT,

We examined five
fundamental features of
each stock to arrive at a
cross-section of values and
risk. The five fundamental
factors in the model were
determined by back-testing
to see which features
correlated most closely
with future share price
appreciation.
Fundamental preferences:

We determined the predictive


power of momentum, directional
and volume indicators using
cross-sectional studies. Our
back-tested results indicate that
combined technical factors can
explain equity returns over a 1-2
month horizon. The pure
technical rankings are shown on
the table to the left (and on
slides 15 and 16).
The most attractive stocks in
terms of technical features:
ROJNA, SIRI, CENTEL,
HEMRAJ, CCET, IVL, ITD,
TISCO, LOXLEY, CPALL,
GLOBAL, BLAND, MINT, TCAP,
BECL, ERW, ANAN, DELTA,
VGI, TUF and PTT.

The SETs market breadths


The breadth of the latest rally has been strong (has included a lot of stocks), but the scope for further rises among
big-caps is largely exhausted. The implication is that the probability of market rising above 1600 is low.

The SETs Momentum Strength Index and volatility


The Momentum Strength Index model shows signs of bearish divergence, suggesting a greater probability of a trend
change in the stock market.

Our model projects that SET volatility will intensify this month. As such, the market is likely to enter a turbulent
phase.

Comparative values: bonds versus equities and SET versus Asia


The SET is expensive compared to both long-term bonds and regional equities.
The yield spread between the 10-year Thai government bond and the SETs mean forward dividend yield puts the
main index in expensive territory, supporting our view that the market has only limited scope for upside.
Also, the SET doesnt look attractive in a dividend yield comparison against major stock indices. As such, we do not
expect significant foreign flows into the Thai market in the near-term.

Our back-tested
results are based on
our hybrid model
fundamental plus
technical. We gauged
portfolio performances
by ranking stocks into
five groups from
highest to lowest
scores. Each portfolio
was rebalanced every
two weeks. Our study
shows that stocks in
groups 1-3
dramatically
outperformed stocks in
groups 4-5.
