Measuring the Risk of Large Losses

Kay Giesecke, Thorsten Schmidt and Stefan Weber Volume 6, Number 4, Fourth Quarter 2008 Risk management is an important component of the investment process.

In particular, we contrast… Read more

Do Funds-of-Funds Deserve Their Fees-on-Fees

Andrew Ang, Matthew Rhodes-Kropf and Rui Zhao Volume 6, Number 4, Fourth Quarter 2008 Since the after-fee returns of funds-of-funds are, on average, lower than hedge fund returns, it is easy to conclude that funds-of-funds do not add value compared to hedge funds. However, funds-of-funds should not be evaluated relative to hedge fund returns in… Read more

Hedge Fund Due Diligence: A Source Of Alpha In A Hedge Fund Portfolio Strategy

Stephen J. Brown, Thomas L. Fraser and Bing Liang Volume 6, Number 4, Fourth Quarter 2008 Due diligence is an important source of alpha in a well designed hedge fund portfolio strategy.

Humpbacks in Credit Spreads

Deepak Agrawal and Jeffrey R. Bohn Volume 6, Number 3, Third Quarter 2008 Models of credit valuation generally predict a hump-shaped spread term structure for low quality issuers. This is understood to be driven by the shape of the underlying conditional default probabilities curve. We show that (a) recovery assumptions and (b) deviation of bond’s… Read more

A Structural Analysis of the Default Swap Market, Part 1 (Calibration)

Lisa R. Goldberg, Rajnish Kamat and Vijay Poduri Volume 6, Number 3, Third Quarter 2008 We analyze the default swap market with the two factor I2 structural model, which is driven by firm value and firm leverage. As we show empirically, the de- fault swap market incorporates these risks differentially over time, by region, by… Read more

The Structure of Hybrid Factor Models

Jose Menchero and Indrajit Mitra Volume 6, Number 3, Third Quarter 2008 We study the problem of augmenting fundamental risk models with statistical factors in order to capture the risk associated with omitted factors. The statistical factors are estimated by applying principal component analysis to the cross-sectional residuals. We show that in the limit of… Read more

Optimal Trading Strategy with Optimal Horizon

Edward E. Qian Volume 6, Number 3, Third Quarter 2008 Portfolio implementation is an essential part of active investment strategies. The trading horizon-the length of time allocated for trade implementation, is an important consideration in portfolio trading. Previous research on optimal trading limits the trading horizon as a fixed value. In this paper, we treat… Read more

Where Do Alphas Come From?: A New Measure of the Value of Active Investment Management

Andrew W. Lo Volume 6, Number 3, Third Quarter 2008 The value of active investment management is traditionally measured by alpha, beta, volatility, tracking error, and the Sharpe and information ratios. These are essentially static characteristics of the marginal distributions of returns at a single point in time, and do not incorporate dynamic aspects of… Read more

Beyond Value at Risk: Forecasting Portfolio Loss at Multiple Horizons

Lisa R.

Our model uses a fully automated, semi-parametric fitting procedure that has its basis in… Read more

How Does Investor Sentiment Affect the Cross-Section of Stock Returns?

Malcolm Baker, Johnathan Wang and Jeffrey Wurgler Volume 6, Number 2, Second Quarter 2008 Broad waves of investor sentiment should have larger impacts on securities that are more difficult to value and to arbitrage. Consistent with this intuition, we find that when an index of investor sentiment takes low values, small, young, high volatility, unprofitable… Read more

First Come First Disserved

Joseph Cerniglia and Joshua Livnat Volume 6, Number 2, Second Quarter 2008 This study investigates whether stock market reactions to earnings information of firms that release their earnings close to quarter-end (Early) are systematically different from their industry peers which report later during the quarter (Late). Unexpectedly, we find that immediate market reactions to early… Read more

Optimal Static Allocation Decisions in the Presence of Portfolio Insurance

Felix Goltz, Lionel Martellini and Koray D. Simsek Volume 6, Number 2, Second Quarter 2008 The focus of this paper is to determine what fraction a myopic risk-averse investor should allocate to investment strategies with convex exposure to stock market returns in a general economy with stochastically time-varying interest rates and equity risk premium.

Are Analysts All Alike? Identifying Earnings Forecasting Ability

Louis K. C. Chan, David Ikenberry, Josef Lakonishok and Sangwoo Lee Volume 6, Number 2, Second Quarter 2008 Investors and the financial media apparently believe that some Wall Street equity analysts research is superior to others. We examine whether such quality differentials exist, in terms of analysts ability to forecast earnings accurately, and whether these… Read more

Noise, CAPM and the Size and Value Effects

Robert Arnott and Jason Hsu Volume 6, Number 1, First Quarter 2008 We model a continuous time one factor economy where stock prices are noisy proxies of the informationally efficient stock values. The pricing error process is modeled as a mean-reverting process, which gives us a well-defined notion of over-pricing (positive pricing error) and under-pricing… Read more

A Model of Fund Growth For Managed Futures: Evidence of Managerial Skill

Paul Lajbcygier Volume 6, Number 1, First Quarter 2008 Fund size is an essential component of a funds overall value. In this work, we argue that growth in fund size results from managerial skill. To test this argument, we estimate a model that links fund growth to performance characteristics. We use the model to isolate… Read more

Estimation Error and Portfolio Optimization: A Resampling Solution

Richard Michaud and Robert Michaud Volume 6, Number 1, First Quarter 2008 Markowitz (1959) mean-variance (MV) portfolio optimization has been the practical standard for asset allocation and equity portfolio management for almost 50 years. However it is known to be overly sensitive to estimation error in risk-return estimates and have poor out-of-sample performance characteristics. The… Read more

INSIGHTS: Why is There a Home Bias? Count the Teeth!

Jitka Hilliard and Jimmy E. Hilliard Volume 6, Number 1, First Quarter 2008 Under somewhat idealized conditions, investors would achieve the best risk return tradeoff by allocation equity investment in each country equal to its percentage share of world equity capitalization. But factual evidence confirms that domestic investors prefer domestic stocks. For example, domestic investors… Read more
