The Citi quantitative team is still confident about its Oversold Strategy, despite a second stumble in returns this year.
“Our systematic Oversold Strategy posted its second loss (-4%) this year in May, as the equity market is following more closely on the credit market,” Hong Li, head of U.S. equity quantitative trading strategy, wrote in a note. “However, we believe that the continued uncertainty is still conducive to the strategy going forward, as it is not predicated on the overall market being oversold.”
Li provides attractive oversold stocks that have a Citi Buy rating.
