Definition
Gross Profitability Strategy refers to profits-to-assets names and short low — Novy-Marx profitability as a quality factor. Keep that definition fixed when comparing series, managers, or regimes — renaming the same tape does not create a new signal.

If profits-to-assets names and short low — Novy-Marx profitability as a quality factor moves against that book, the first question is not “is the story clever?” but whether size, hedges, and stop logic still match the observation.
