Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Behavioral finance is the study of how psychology affects financial decision making and financial markets. It is increasingly becoming the common way of understanding investor behavior and stock market activity. Incorporating the latest research and theory, Shefrin offers both a strong theory and efficient empirical tools that address derivatives, fixed income securities, mean-variance efficient portfolios, and the market portfolio. The book provides a series of examples to illustrate the theory. The second edition continues the tradition of the first edition by being the one and only book to focus completely on how behavioral finance principles affect asset pricing, now with its theory deepened and enriched by a plethora of research since the first edition

Download or read book A Critique of Modern Portfolio Theory and Asset Pricing Models Based on Behavioral Insights from Benjamin Graham s Value Investing Paradigm written by Eben Otuteye and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page 30 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Modern Portfolio Theory, the Capital Asset Pricing Model, and the Efficient Market Hypothesis are the cornerstone concepts in both academic and professional curricula. In spite of their long history and reputation, the CAPM and its extensions are not able to yield satisfactory empirical results. We argue that this is because the modelling process ignored the impact of human behavior in financial markets. We present a critique of these standard models using behavioral insights from Benjamin Graham's value investing paradigm. We propose that if, instead of getting fixated on investors' optimal rational decision making, we adopt Benjamin Graham's value investing perspective which explicitly acknowledges that investor decision making is by definition imperfect primarily due to psychological biases, we would be able to derive better investment decision making processes.

Download or read book The Relative Asset Pricing Model written by Arun Muralidhar and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page 32 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM) has been the backbone of asset market finance, even though many academic studies have revealed its limitations, both theoretical and empirical. This paper argues that including liability or benchmark considerations in investment decisions may provide a credible explanation for some of the limitations. In effect, the CAPM is an “absolute wealth”-centric model, driven by the assumption that investors derive utility from absolute wealth. In reality, investors first make investment decisions to ensure sufficient assets to meet obligations, such as future pension payment or future consumption (i.e., liabilities), and focus on relative wealth. Thereafter, many investors hire external managers and evaluate them on performance relative to assigned benchmarks. Interestingly, existing robust literature on, and product offerings for, “liability driven investing,” have not led to a shift in academic theories of asset pricing to reflect the liability perspective. After all, if asset owners choose investments to service liabilities (proxied by benchmarks), it is expected that liabilities or these benchmark proxies will impact asset prices.Therefore, a shift from an “absolute wealth”-centric to a “liability-centric” or “relative wealth” perspective will create a Relative Asset Pricing Model (RAPM), with the CAPM as a very specialized case of this model. Hence, by examining how liabilities are proxied in practice, the many tests that found the need for additional factors to explain asset behavior might now be rationalized and explained. In this vein, even some behavioral criticisms leveled at CAPM can fit under this liability-centric CAPM-like paradigm. Finally, the asset allocation and portfolio rebalancing implications of this model may better explain some of the risky asset return characteristics such as momentum observed in the market. Therefore, if future research is directed to this compelling liability-centric facet embedded in practitioner behavior and explores this new dimension, RAPM may complement traditional CAPM, and help investors and academicians alike to develop better approaches to asset allocation, rebalancing as well as to asset pricing.

Download or read book Efficiently Inefficient written by Lasse Heje Pedersen and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2019-09-17 with total page 368 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Efficiently Inefficient describes the key trading strategies used by hedge funds and demystifies the secret world of active investing. Leading financial economist Lasse Heje Pedersen combines the latest research with real-world examples and interviews with top hedge fund managers to show how certain trading strategies make money--and why they sometimes don't. Pedersen views markets as neither perfectly efficient nor completely inefficient. Rather, they are inefficient enough that money managers can be compensated for their costs through the profits of their trading strategies and efficient enough that the profits after costs do not encourage additional active investing. Understanding how to trade in this efficiently inefficient market provides a new, engaging way to learn finance. Pedersen analyzes how the market price of stocks and bonds can differ from the model price, leading to new perspectives on the relationship between trading results and finance theory. He explores several different areas in depth--fundamental tools for investment management, equity strategies, macro strategies, and arbitrage strategies--and he looks at such diverse topics as portfolio choice, risk management, equity valuation, and yield curve logic. The book's strategies are illuminated further by interviews with leading hedge fund managers: Lee Ainslie, Cliff Asness, Jim Chanos, Ken Griffin, David Harding, John Paulson, Myron Scholes, and George Soros.

Download or read book The Investment Horizon and Asset Pricing Models written by Kathleen Walsh and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Life Cycle Hypothesis suggests that the primary motivation for saving is to accumulate resources in order to fund retirement. This suggests that investors have heterogeneous investment horizons, yet many tests of the CAPM assume homogeneous horizons. This paper estimates a time varying heterogeneous investment horizon using over 200 years of demographic data. We test the CAPM and its assumption that the Equity Risk Premium is positive using our estimated investment horizon. We conclude that the CAPM is not violated when tested over a horizon that more accurately reflects investor behavior.

Download or read book Asset Rotation written by Matthew P. Erickson and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2014-07-22 with total page 184 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An all-weather, tactical approach to asset management utilizing Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs) In Asset Rotation, portfolio management pioneer Matthew P. Erickson demonstrates a time-tested approach to asset management that has worked throughout the history of capital markets, in good times and bad. Providing investors with strong participation in rising markets, but more importantly with a discipline to reduce participation in prolonged declines. Over time this revolutionary approach has yielded superior returns, with significantly reduced levels of risk; providing the engine for true, long-term sustainable growth. The investment world as we know it has changed, and the paradigm has shifted. What has worked in the past may no longer work in the future. No longer may bonds be regarded as a safe haven asset class, as for the first time in generations, investors in fixed income face losses as interest rates rise from historical all-time lows. For those adhering to a conventional Modern Portfolio Theory based investment approach to asset management, what was once regarded as safe and stable, may very well soon become our greatest impediment. Asset Rotation provides investors with a practical solution for today's real world problems. This tactical approach to asset management provides us with concrete proof that there is indeed a better way. We are standing on the precipice of an Investment Renaissance. What was previously impossible, is now possible. Find out how. Presents an easy-to-understand price momentum-based approach to investing Illustrates the benefits of asset rotation Offers a systematic approach for securing a sound financial future Provides further insights as to how to customize your own asset rotation portfolio Matthew Erickson gives investors a hands-on resource for how to navigate an increasingly difficult investment landscape, by providing them with keen insights into the most rapidly growing segment of the investment markets.
