# A number of companies publicly trade two different classes of shares
|
|
# in US equity markets. If both assets trade with reasonable volume, then
|
|
# the underlying driving forces of each should be similar or the same. Given
|
|
# this, we can create a relatively dollar-neutral long/short portfolio using
|
|
# the dual share classes. Theoretically, any deviation of this portfolio from
|
|
# its mean-value should be corrected, and so the motivating idea is based on
|
|
# mean-reversion. Using a Simple Moving Average indicator, we can
|
|
# compare the value of this portfolio against its SMA and generate insights
|
|
# to buy the under-valued symbol and sell the over-valued symbol.
|

#
|
|
# This alpha is part of the Benchmark Alpha Series created by QuantConnect which are open
|
|
# sourced so the community and client funds can see an example of an alpha.
