Once the ranking system is validated, the next step is to operationalize the strategy by setting up a buy-sell framework. For instance, you might:
-
- Buy stocks ranked in the top X% (commonly the top 10%) of the stock universe, such as the S&P 500.
- Sell stocks that fall below the top 10% threshold, or adjust this parameter according to the specific requirements of the strategy.
This ranking-based approach is designed to consistently identify and capture alpha-generating opportunities, focusing on companies with the most favorable combination of free cash flow and profitability metrics.
