Alpha Groups

Not All Alphas are the Same



APS has found it extremely useful to classify alphas into four buckets:

Structural Alphas tend to be steady and durable. Companies riding on long-term trends or companies with structural strengths typically produce Structural Alphas.

Dynamic Alphas are generally produced in spurts by out-of-favor, mature companies which sell at a fraction of their intrinsic value.

Economic Alphas are unstable and are produced by companies in cyclical industries.

Opportunistic Alphas are produced by special events like M&A, changes in company management, new product launches, etc. These alphas appear least frequently in our portfolios.
