Pros RBSA characterizes portfolio can compare portfolio same for holdings based except sub. securities for portfolio cons RBSA style drift causes accuracy problems Holdings based need more data than RBSA

RBSA pros = same results with different models, compare different portfolios, executed quickly, cost effective

HBA detection quicker…

HBA uses multiples, dividend payout, sector to determine value or growth

Holdings-based is also more subjective. Not all managers use same metrics or break points to categorize style (e.g., at what P/E multiple do to you differentiate value from growth)?
