Definitions
In plain terms
Higher scores may receive larger weights, but negative values, normalization, caps, and sector controls must be handled explicitly.
Technical
The algorithm specifies score vintage, eligible universe, transform, sign policy, denominator, bounds, group constraints, tie handling, turnover controls, and effective date.
Scope
A score ranking is not itself a portfolio weight and can require a separate mapping rule.
Examples
- A governed methodology records factor-score weighting with its source, cutoff, units, parameters, and effective version.
Common misconceptions
- Factor-Score Weighting does not have one universal implementation without the declared methodology, data basis, and constraints.
