quantlab.factor.predefined.membership_cap_weight#

An index’s capitalization weights: MembershipCapWeight.

The weight of a symbol at bar t is its market cap at t over the summed cap of the index’s members at t, and 0 for a symbol that is not a member, has no cap or a non-positive one. It is the benchmark book ActiveRiskOptimizer prices active risk against (ActiveRiskConfig.benchmark): with the us3000 membership (BarraStyle’s estu, the 3,000 largest by their previous-bar cap) the Barra styles are cap-weighted standardised over the same names, so this book’s style exposures are about 0 and an active exposure bound is close to an absolute one.
