張朝棟
Investment Manager
As an investment manager with a value-oriented positivism approach, I am deeply committed to value investing, integrating strategies supported by solid theory and empirical data. My investment philosophy is shaped by a robust foundation in both quantitative and qualitative analysis.
Professional Milestones:
Portfolio Management: Successfully managed a diverse portfolio worth several hundred million dollars over the past two years, demonstrating a deep understanding of market dynamics and investment strategies.
Social Media Influence: Established a significant presence as an investment KOL in Taiwan through my Facebook fan page 'valueshellseeker,' currently followed by over 26,000 individuals.
Extensive Reading & Learning: I have read approximately 800 books, enriching my knowledge and perspective on investment strategies.
CFA & CQF Achievement: Passed the CQF and all CFA exams with high grades on the first attempt (L1 and L2: 9A1B; L3: item set 9A, essay 5A4B1C).
Expanding Quantitative Strategies:
Beyond basic multi-factor models, I am currently focusing on developing mid to low-frequency ML strategies for the Taiwan stock market. The system is largely based on the recommendations found in the book 'Advances in Financial Machine Learning'. I have generated approximately 2000 factors and completed the establishment of a database, with daily automatic updates. I am actively engaged in the development of these strategies. Subsequently, I plan to employ genetic algorithms for automatic factors search.
Exceptional Investment Performance (2018/12/31 - 2023/11/15): Achieved a robust annualized return of 24% over five years, substantially outperforming the S&P 500's annualized return of 14% during the same period, highlighting my effective investment strategy and market acumen.
