The Impact Expertise
Impact Asset Management
Impact AM Model uses fundamental, technical, quantitative and macro-economic metrics to identify value and predict trend direction.
Components
Impact AM Model has four components
Macro-Economic
- Big Picture
Fundamental
- Value Context
Quantitative
- Trend Identifier
Technical
- Short-Term Levels
Macro-Economics
Macro-Economic Model - looks at the broad macro-context within which equities perform. Though macro-economic factors do not affect equity markets in the short-term, they provide the framework for all growth.
Example 1 : Indian Industrial Growth
Indian Industrial Growth - shows when the industrial sector goes through critical trend changes.
Example 2 : US Housing Market
US Housing Market - How bad is it and how much will it affect the US Banking Industry
Fundamentals
Fundamental Model - identifies the actual value inherent in the price of equities based on the company's business and financial performance. The fundamental value of the stock sets the broad value range within which the prices oscillate.
Example: Valuation Spectrum
Valuation Spectrum - the broad range within which prices oscillate. (Nifty Index)
Quantitative
Quantitative Model - identifies the intermediate trends in the market which cause the prices to oscillate between the broad ranges. The model also considers linkages with other markets such as global equities, bonds, currencies, commodities and credit markets.
Example 1 : Quant Spectrum
Quant Spectrum - shows how prices trend within a broad range. (Nifty Index)
Example 2 : Momentum Indicator
Momentum Indicator - shows the cyclicality inherent in markets. (Nifty Index)
Technicals
Technical Model - identifies the short-term price movements for entry and exit of positions and apart from traditional technical analysis also looks at underlying derivatives and options data.
Four Waves
The Impact Asset Management model uses the “four-waves” approach to determine the broad ranges of the market and the movement within these ranges.
