Testing the significance of active trading strategies other than stocks

Quantitative Finance Asked on December 31, 2021

In active asset management industry, a common approach to Test whether my Strategy Provides significant alpha is to Regress Portfolio Returns on Fama French 3 (or 5 factors) and check whether the alpha is significant.

I Developed a Strategy for cryptos wirh significant alpha at the 5% level when regressed on Fama French 3 factor loadings, i am just wondering is that test ‘fair’? Can i keep the results or am i supposed to test it against some ‘cryptro factors’? There arent many which are as established as the Fama French ones, on the other hand i definetely need some statistical validation as it is for some scientific paper. The same problem of course arises for all other asset classes such as bonds too.

One Answer

The alpha you got makes absolutely sense but compared to the Fama French market, i.e. stock market. It does not take into consideration the characteristics of the crypto market (return, variance, skew, etc.). Therefore, I would build another fair value model based on crypto market.
