Tarik, are you using a consistent methodology, or picking themes, or ?? Just wondering if you were applying the multiple fundamentals regression you have on the site.

Hello,
Currently I’m just using themes. I will be working on a fundemental quant based portfolio in the future.
Currently I’m developing a Global Renewable Power Generation Index which will track the performance of Utilities and Independent Power Producers (IPP) who derive greater than 50% of their electricity generation from hydro, wind and geothermal sources.
