RESEARCH NOTE
Welcome to TheQuantKorea
An introduction to the research desk, the methodology, and what to expect.
Author: Kim YongboemPublished: 2026-05-04
This is the first note from TheQuantKorea — a small, independent research desk focused on the Korean equity market.
What this site is
A working journal of factor strategies, machine-learning filters, and reproducible backtests on KOSPI50 and adjacent universes. Each post will publish:
- the data window and source,
- the rebalancing rules and portfolio construction,
- the parameter set and any tuning windows,
- the assumptions about cost, slippage, and capacity.
The goal is reproducibility, not predictions.
What to expect monthly
A monthly signal note covering the KOSPI50 factor + ML filter portfolio, with the next month's positions and a short commentary on the regime.
What this site is not
Not investment advice. Not a service. Not a brokerage. Everything here is research-grade material published for educational purposes.
Welcome.
