Quality & Value
Own compounders, buy cheap
What it is
Hold durable, profitable businesses for the long run, or buy deeply undervalued / distressed names with a margin of safety.
When it works
Strong margins, free cash flow and a healthy balance sheet at a reasonable or depressed valuation; for distressed, an improving balance sheet or margin inflection.
Why the setup pays
This is the longest Trade Horizon — Position — value takes time to be recognised. Direction = Long, Structure = Shares: you're an owner, not a renter. Price Action is secondary to fundamentals here.
The market it wants
Slowdown / Contraction. Slowdown and Contraction reward quality and balance-sheet strength; deep value often bottoms in Contraction.
What goes wrong
Value traps (cheap for a reason); a long wait; in Contraction even good names can fall further first.
Where it sits in the book
Quality & Value belongs to Linear Risk Premia & Style Factors, the group whose edge comes from mean or trend of the distribution. That group looks for sustained trend extensions, or clear overextensions for mean-reversion, and its risk profile is dynamic / path-dependent directional.

This is the thesis the engine scans with. It reads the whole universe, scores what matches, and prices the structures against fair value.
