How the factor is constructed

The market-neutral carry index exploits funding premiums, capturing the associated statistical inefficiencies in addition to the funding payments. It ingests funding rates from the top ten most reputable exchanges, avoiding reliance on any single venue.

The universe consists of the most liquid and actively traded assets, identified on a rolling basis and survivorship-bias free. Positions are scaled by the inverse of rolling volatility; the factor is available point-in-time with hourly updates.
