ABSTRACT
Quantitative investment has thirty or forty years of history of development in
overseas. It has been recognized by more and more investors for its stable
performance in investment and continuous growth of scale and share in the market.
Especially in the last ten years, quantitative investment has developed rapidly in
abroad. The top level masters of quantitative investment represented by Simons
created myths one after another. The increase of quantitative investment fund has also
outnumbered the traditional investment fund gradually.
However, the quantitative investment in China is still in its initial development
stage. Quantitative investment counts less than 5% in financial investment. With the
come of stock index futures in April 2010, quantitative investment starts to show its
development potential in the domestic market gradually. The major brokers and
institutional investors have launched in-depth studies of quantitative trading.
Quantitative investment funds became hot again in these two years. The performance
of some of the quantitative funds even takes the leading position. They bring more
options for the domestic investors.
This thesis illustrates and analyzes quantitative investment in a practical way
from the aspects of its basic concept, current development situation, investment
platform and trade strategy, etc. Also a quantitative investment platform has been
developed by myself to do simulation analysis on the strategies of quantitative
investment to meet the demand of the current research in a flexible and convenient
way. Based on this platform and the historical data of Shanghai and Shenzhen 300
stock index futures, by applying quantitative investment method, the investment
transaction strategy of trend following has been analyzed and studied in depth. The
trend following strategy mainly focuses on analyzing the market trend and direction
by virtue of technical indicators. This paper focuses on optimizing, analyzing and
comparing the four indexes of the trend following strategy, which are moving average
(MA), moving average convergence divergence (MACD), difference of moving
average (DMA), three exponential smoothing average (TRIX). Through the
simulation, by applying trend following trading strategy, we can expect good returns
obtained in Shanghai and Shenzhen 300 stock index futures market. The quantitative
investment platform developed in this thesis has certain practical value and can
provide references for stock index futures investment.
