Systematic Relative Value refers to an algorithmic trading strategy that identifies and exploits price discrepancies between financially related crypto assets, derivatives, or market segments based on quantitative models. This approach seeks to profit from the temporary mispricing of one asset relative to another, or to a group of assets, assuming their long-term economic relationship holds. Its purpose is to generate consistent, market-neutral returns by systematically capturing these pricing divergences.
Mechanism
The mechanism involves continuous monitoring of multiple crypto asset prices, implied volatilities, and other relevant market data. Statistical models, often utilizing cointegration, correlation, or machine learning, detect when the price ratio or spread between related assets deviates beyond historical norms. Automated systems then execute a pair trade, buying the relatively undervalued asset and selling the relatively overvalued one, with dynamic adjustments to maintain a hedged position as market conditions evolve.
Methodology
The methodology relies on rigorous statistical analysis and robust quantitative models to define “fair value” relationships and identify trading signals. It requires extensive backtesting and continuous monitoring of model performance to adapt to changing market dynamics and prevent model decay. This strategic approach aims to deliver consistent, low-correlation returns by systematically exploiting transient inefficiencies, making it a core component of many institutional crypto quantitative trading desks.
