Hypothetical 10-Year Simulated Impact

THE PROBLEM

In today's volatile credit markets, systemic risks and macro noise often mask true idiosyncratic opportunities — making it hard to consistently identify mispriced bonds using intuition or basic spread analysis alone.

THE SOLUTION

AXOR Alpha Signal delivers benchmark-relative, beta-adjusted alpha ideas by calculating dynamic 1-year z-scores on relative spreads — isolating cheap (buy) and rich (sell) bonds while neutralizing market-level risks.

How the Alpha Signal Works


Simple yet powerful: Isolate true mispricing with mean-reversion rooted methodology.

  • 1. Compute relative spread (bond spread – index spread)
  • 2. Apply 1-year z-score (positive = cheap / buy, negative = rich / sell)
  • 3. Add beta adjustments, liquidity filters & customizable thresholds (e.g. |z| > 1.5)
