Using high-frequency data to estimate market impact costs of implementation of factor investing strategies

This research aims to conduct transaction cost analysis (TCA) of popular factor investment strategies (value, momentum, size) using intraday tick data. While trading over short-term and investment over long-term has been separate operations historically, the implementation trading cost can be a huge drag on the long-term investment performance. Therefore we would want to simultaneously consider the long term portfolio construction and the short-term execution costs of actually rebalancing the portfolio. TCA can help us in achieving the joint decisions.
