12 11 Trading Strategy and Turnover

13 12 Two Lessons from the Analysis Previous focus on turnover as a choice variable, and on its role as a proxy for implementation cost, is misplaced Considering stock-specific transaction costs at the portfolio construction stage enables higher turnover levels Turnover levels are determined through the interaction of alpha predictions and expected cost estimates Managing at higher turnover levels allows for faster processing of new information, and in conjunction with cost control, leads to superior net return Limiting the strategy space within which portfolio strategy is formulated negatively impacts returns and reduces the capacity of a fund Limiting that set of strategies also distorts capacity analysis and biases capacity choice down, in general There is particular importance to adding trading strategy to the strategy space underlying the investment decision
