How the factor is constructed

The index capitalizes on the persistent relationship between open-interest dynamics and future asset performance, systematically identifying and exploiting divergence in open-interest patterns across assets.

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.
