Portfolio construction • Do you want the 500 names equally weighted each day? • Are we assuming zero transaction costs and unlimited liquidity, or do you want specific assumptions (e.g., 5 bp round-trip cost)? 3. Benchmark / performance metrics • Any particular benchmark you’d like reported against (e.g., SPY)? • Specific risk or performance stats you care about besides total return (e.g., max drawdown, Sharpe)? Once I have these details I can generate the data-retrieval plan and run the back-test.
