You see, systematic models like AQR are doing what they’re supposed to be doing – taking “small” losses as they stay in the game. They’re designed to swing at almost every pitch, and lose much less when they lose than win. Think of it like a baseball hitter getting 30 strikes instead of 3. The hits and home runs and count the same, but the strikes are only a tenth of what they usually are. Thing is, you still must get a good pitch to hit every now and then. And systematic programs like AQR just aren’t getting the pitches.
