In recent years, the application of advanced machine learning methods for asset management has garnered significant attention. However, the utilization of these methods, particularly deep neural networks, is hindered by the data shortage problem. To tackle this challenge, a novel approach using neural networks to construct a portfolio of exchange traded funds (ETFs) based on the financial statement data of their components has been proposed. While ETFs and ETF-managed portfolios have gained prominence in recent decades, applying neural networks to manage ETF portfolios is constrained by the relatively smaller number and shorter historical existence of ETFs compared to individual stocks. To overcome this limitation, the data of individual stocks is leveraged to train neural networks for predicting the future performance of individual stocks. These predictions, along with the portfolio deposit file (PDF), are then used to construct a portfolio of ETFs. Through multiple experiments, it has been demonstrated that this proposed method outperforms existing baselines. This approach is particularly beneficial when managing recently listed ETFs like thematic ETFs, which have limited historical data available for training advanced machine learning models. Furthermore, previous research efforts in stock market predictability have primarily focused on technical analysis-based approaches that rely on historical price and volume data or fundamental analysis-based approaches utilizing financial statement data from individual stocks. Alternative data sources such as investor sentiment in social media messages or news articles have also been explored to identify profitable signals for trading. Overall, this innovative approach combining neural networks with financial statement data for constructing ETF portfolios presents a promising solution to address the challenges posed by data scarcity in asset management. By leveraging insights from individual stock data and predictive modeling techniques, this methodology offers a robust framework for managing ETF portfolios effectively in dynamic market conditions.

Definitions
- Asset management: The process of making decisions about how to invest and grow money or resources.
- Neural networks: Computer systems designed to mimic the human brain's ability to learn and adapt.

- Baselines: Standard or reference points used for comparison in evaluating performance.
In recent years, the use of advanced machine learning methods for asset management has gained significant attention. These techniques have shown great potential in improving portfolio performance and risk management. However, one major challenge faced by these methods is the scarcity of data, particularly when it comes to deep neural networks.
To address this issue, a team of researchers proposed a novel approach that utilizes neural networks to construct portfolios of exchange traded funds (ETFs) based on financial statement data from their underlying components. This method not only overcomes the data shortage problem but also outperforms existing baselines in multiple experiments.
ETFs and ETF-managed portfolios have become increasingly popular in recent decades due to their low fees and diversification benefits. However, applying deep neural networks to manage ETF portfolios is limited by the relatively smaller number and shorter historical existence of ETFs compared to individual stocks. To overcome this limitation, the research team leveraged data from individual stocks to train neural networks for predicting future performance.
This approach involves using predictive modeling techniques on individual stock data along with the portfolio deposit file (PDF) to construct an optimal portfolio of ETFs. The PDF contains information about each ETF's composition and weightings, allowing for efficient allocation within the portfolio.
The results from multiple experiments showed that this proposed method outperformed existing baselines in terms of both returns and risk-adjusted returns. This was particularly evident when managing recently listed ETFs such as thematic ETFs which have limited historical data available for training advanced machine learning models.
Previous research efforts in stock market predictability have primarily focused on technical analysis-based approaches that rely on historical price and volume data or fundamental analysis-based approaches utilizing financial statement data from individual stocks. However, these traditional methods may not capture all relevant information needed for effective asset management.
Alternative sources such as investor sentiment in social media messages or news articles have also been explored as potential predictors of market movements. While these sources can provide valuable insights, they may not always be reliable or readily available.
The proposed approach of combining neural networks with financial statement data for constructing ETF portfolios presents a promising solution to address the challenges posed by data scarcity in asset management. By leveraging insights from individual stock data and predictive modeling techniques, this methodology offers a robust framework for managing ETF portfolios effectively in dynamic market conditions.
In conclusion, the use of advanced machine learning methods in asset management has shown great potential but is hindered by the scarcity of data. This research paper presents an innovative approach that utilizes neural networks and financial statement data to construct optimal portfolios of ETFs. The results demonstrate its superiority over existing baselines and highlight its usefulness in managing recently listed ETFs with limited historical data. With further advancements in technology and access to alternative data sources, this method could potentially revolutionize the way we manage assets in the future.
Recently, the application of advanced machine learning methods for asset management has become one of the most intriguing topics. Unfortunately, the application of these methods, such as deep neural networks, is difficult due to the data shortage problem. To address this issue, we propose a novel approach using neural networks to construct a portfolio of exchange traded funds (ETFs) based on the financial statement data of their components. Although a number of ETFs and ETF-managed portfolios have emerged in the past few decades, the ability to apply neural networks to manage ETF portfolios is limited since the number and historical existence of ETFs are relatively smaller and shorter, respectively, than those of individual stocks. Therefore, we use the data of individual stocks to train our neural networks to predict the future performance of individual stocks and use these predictions and the portfolio deposit file (PDF) to construct a portfolio of ETFs. Multiple experiments have been performed, and we have found that our proposed method outperforms the baselines. We believe that our approach can be more beneficial when managing recently listed ETFs, such as thematic ETFs, of which there is relatively limited historical data for training advanced machine learning methods.
