WP-01 · Excerpt · Quantitative Portfolio Construction

WP-01 presents a replicable, five-stage framework for constructing equity portfolios in concentrated domestic markets. The methodology describes how universe screening, simulation-based optimisation across 10,000 portfolio configurations, and index-relative tracking error minimisation combine into a coherent, scalable investment process — illustrated with a worked SGX implementation. The paper describes the methodology Vektor runs today, not an approach under development.

Quantitative Portfolio Construction

A five-stage framework for constructing equity portfolios in concentrated domestic markets — universe screening, efficient frontier mapping across 10,000 configurations, and lot-precise capital allocation. This is the foundational methodology paper. Read it before any other.

Signal Optimisation

One-size-fits-all signal selection is where most systematic portfolios leave alpha on the table. This paper shows how per-instrument grid search across six indicators, validated by XGBoost, recovers it.

WP-03
Allocation
Capital Allocation

The gap between a target percentage weight and actual deployed capital is measurable drag. This paper documents how Vektor closes it — live prices at execution time, lot-size rounding, configurable cash buffer — and how 98.94% allocation efficiency is achieved on the SGX reference mandate (100-share board lots) — and 99.97% on a NASDAQ mandate — with the structural reason explained in Section 5b.

Signals
Indicator Selection

Default indicator parameters — SMA 50/200, RSI 14 — were calibrated for the average instrument. This paper explains why Vektor does not use them, and how a full grid search across the parameter space of six indicators finds the configuration with the highest historical risk-adjusted return for each stock.

Multi-Market
Multi-Currency

Multi-currency is treated as a configuration option in most portfolio platforms. In Vektor it is a first-class design requirement — daily FX rate collection at 8 AM SGT, position-level currency conversion, and any base currency per client mandate.

WP-06
Compliance
Audit & Compliance

A systematic platform that produces allocations without a complete record of how each decision was generated fails institutional compliance review. This paper documents Vektor's three-role accountability architecture and the complete action log that makes every investment decision transparent, explainable, and retrievable.

WP-07
Architecture
Technical Architecture

Most vendor technical documentation is a list of services used. This paper is a record of architectural decisions made — the reasoning behind each choice and what it would take to change them. Covers AWS service inventory, region-agnostic deployment, data flows, and current deployment status.

WP-08
ML / AI
AI/ML Philosophy

The term "AI-powered" has become a marketing claim so widely applied it has ceased to carry information. This paper states precisely where machine learning is used in the Vektor platform, what it does at each point, and where it is explicitly not used — consistent with MAS FEAT, SFC/HKMA, and FCA/PRA governance principles.
