Worth noticing
The site reports a 0.995 monthly return correlation with the Morningstar LSTA index for October 2019–April 2026.

Field notes

The dataset is derived from SEC Form N-PORT fund holdings, which the site says report loan notional and fair value. Its outputs cover nine named factors plus a market index, with multiple weighting schemes, holding periods, and implementation-lag options; the linked pipeline is available on GitHub. The page cautions that its latest-year factor rankings cover only twelve monthly returns and should be treated as an indication rather than evidence.
