Research Question: Study the performance of equal weighted portfolios over Price or Market cap

weighted portfolios in the Indian context?

Abstract

We will compare the performances of equal weighted portfolio versus price or market cap weighted
portfolios over the last fifteen years. We will look at monthly rebalancing of portfolios and study the
performance of the strategy in terms of Sharpe ratio, Sortino ratio, Four Factor Model (Size Factor:
Small and Mid Caps Outperformance, Value Factor Price to Book Valuations, Market Risk Factor,
Momentum Factor), Jensen Alpha, Mean Returns, Volatility and Standard Deviations of Portfolios,
Skewness and Kurtosis.

We will be benchmarking the results of the strategy against a suitable total return index (i.e. Nifty
100, Nifty 500 etc).

The choice of sectors are as follows (GICS),

1. Energy
2. Basic Materials
3. Industrials
4. Consumer Discretionary
5. Consumer Staples
