The factor lab.

Factors are how funding stress travels through the equity market — so they get their own instrument panel. This page is in build: the modules below are committed and wire in with the data layer. Until live, the main desk’s §7 carries the episode-tested playbook.

Live factor returns

Trailing 1m / 3m / 12m returns for value, size, momentum, quality and low-vol from the free Kenneth French daily files, with the funding-stress playbook overlaid.

Value−growth spread

The HML spread vs its own history, with the epicenter caveat: its crisis sign depends on whether financials/energy are the shock’s source or its beneficiary.

Quality stress-test

RMW behaviour conditioned on shock type — the defends-except-dash-for-cash rule, tracked live against the stock–bond correlation regime.
