In a previous blog (Building Custom Baskets), we showed how Finsera Basket Builder can be used to easily construct a custom cybersecurity basket.

Here we show how the performance of such a basket can be incrementally enhanced.

We then incrementally build and compare the performance of 3 different baskets:

The initial cap-weighted basket of cybersecurity stocks based on the largest 5 ETFs by AUM (cyber_5)
A second basket which excludes the bottom quintile of cybersecurity names based on Sales Growth (cyber_5_1)
A third basket which further excludes the highest quintile of names based on market Beta (cyber_5_2)

Using our basket compare module:

We can see that Finsera’s basket builder makes it easy to test assumptions and implement small refinements in basket composition which can result in meaningful performance improvements.

‘cyber_5’: initial basket; ‘cyber_5_1’: excludes bottom quintile based on Sales Growth; ‘cyber_5_2’: excludes bottom quintile based on Sales Growth and excludes highest quintile of names based on Beta
