Nice work Dutch guyUncorrelated wrote: ↑Tue Nov 05, 2019 2:53 pmI suspect I'm the "Dutch guy online".

I just saw it has an MSCI index, which is easy to get data for.
When I get a chance, I'll regress it and compare values. Some things that matter to me are R^2 values and alphas, which I didn't see for ZPRV in your comment. Also, I'm not necessarily trustful of "a Dutch guy online".
Regardless, provided their values are correct, I think you came to a reasonable conclusion.

ZPRV monthly data (index)Source: own calculations based on MSCI index data and Ken French data library. Expected outperformance assumes that factors with t-stat below 2 are insignificant (equal to zero) and the remaining factors get 50% of the historical factor performance.

The R^2 on IJS is atrocious. Not sure what's up with that. The factors loadings themselves are almost identical to portfolio visualizer's numbers
What could the low R^2 of IJS mean?
