European Luxury Equity
Satellite Overlay Engine.

Systematic Quality Factor & Regime Overlays for European Luxury Equities. Combining Novy-Marx Gross Profitability ($\text{GP/A}$) Z-scoring with systematic 200-SMA regime protection—delivering exceptional risk-adjusted alpha through dynamic cash reallocation.

* Institutional diagnostic mandates are strictly capped at 4 allocations per calendar month to preserve analytical focus.

01 · Thesis

Concentrated Risk Mitigation

Traditional cap-weighted luxury holdings expose client capital to severe profit margin decay and unhedged drawdowns during macro compressions.

02 · Mechanism

High Capital Efficiency

By operating with dynamic net equity exposure (~64.54% average), the engine sweeps capital into risk-free €STR cash when quality thresholds or trend circuit breakers are breached.

03 · Institutional Objective

Non-Disruptive Overlay

Engineered strictly as a non-disruptive satellite sleeve (5%–15% allocation) that enhances risk-adjusted returns without requiring core manager turnover.

Systematic Engine Architecture

3-Tier Execution Pipeline

Tier 01 Quality & Alt-Data

Subsector Neutral Z-Scores

Evaluates unit pricing power using Novy-Marx Gross Profitability ($\text{GP/A}$) Z-scoring, dynamically scaled by the Alt-Data Triad scalar ($\alpha_i(t)$) to penalize Creative Director turnover and inventory drag.

Input: Subsector-Neutral Z + $\alpha_i(t)$ Bounds
Tier 02 Optimization

Convex SLSQP Solver

Sequential Least Squares Programming solver maximizing portfolio Sharpe ratio under dynamic max-cap bounds ($w_i \le 20\% \times \alpha_i(t)$) and active floor constraints ($w_i \ge 3\%$).

Constraint: Dynamic Cap $w_i \le 20\% \times \alpha_i(t)$
Tier 03 Regime & Hermès Gate

200-SMA Circuit Breaker

Evaluates daily trend signals against the $1.00\times \text{SMA}_{200}$. Incorporates the Hermès Gate 25% floor for fundamental compounders during pullbacks, sweeping unallocated capital into €STR.

Overlay: Hermès Gate Floor + €STR Cash Sweep
Institutional Trust Architecture

SHA-256 Cryptographic Execution Ledger

Eliminating look-ahead bias and backtest over-fitting. Every daily rebalance signal, weight optimization output, and cash reserve transition is cryptographically hashed and chained into an immutable audit block.
