Finally, the annual fee that an investor would have to pay for the various strategies is moderate, between 0.14% and 0.91% of the value of the portfolio per year (Column 9). Strategies based on average skewness generate relatively large annual fees because they imply more rebalancing every month. This result suggests that, although transaction costs should not be neglected, they are unlikely to substantially reduce the relative performance of the trading strategies. To summarize, strategies with value-weighted skewness generate superior economic performance in terms of SR and CE values relative to other competing predictors.
