    FEATURED SOLUTION PIMCO Alternatives Disruptive Regulation: A Secular Investment Opportunity AUTHORS It’s been nearly a decade since the global financial crisis Christian Stracke prompted an onslaught of regulations intended to Managing Director Global Head, Credit Research abolish excessive risk-taking and make the financial Tom Collier system safer. Yet the implementation of reforms – and Executive Vice President their disruptive effect on financial business models – Product Manager will peak only over the next few years. As Dodd-Frank and Basel regulations come into force and a further wave of regulatory reform is announced, we believe banks will exit more non-core businesses, specific funding gaps will become more acute and dislocations between public and private markets will become more frequent. Each will create investment opportunities for less constrained and patient capital to capture economic profits being ceded by banks. The lengthy process of financial sector reform is not a surprise given its complexity. Passed in July 2010, for instance, the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act runs to more than 350,000 words. Many details were left to administrators to define – and at the end of 2015, fewer than 60% had been implemented. Basel III regulations, intended to increase liquidity and decrease leverage at banks, were published in late 2009, but will not be fully implemented until 2019. Bankers are already fretting over “Basel IV,” a collection of rules being contemplated that would tighten the screws even further. 2 Featured Solution August 2016 For banks, the cost of Although most banks have increased their capital significantly, they face intense shareholder new regulations is high pressure to improve returns on capital.

    Osterweis Strategic Investment Fund (OSTVX) David Snowball, Publisher This essay first appeared in the May 2021 issue of Mutual Fund Observer In celebration of the May 2021 10th anniversary of the Mutual Fund Observer, we are examining the achievements, a decade on, to the four funds highlighted in our first-ever issue. The Osterweis Strategic Investment Fund, which we categorized as a “most intriguing new fund” back then remains an under-covered gem. A “star in the shadows.” What they do Osterweis starts with a strategic allocation that’s 50% equities and 50% bonds. In bull markets, they can increase the equity exposure to as high as 75%. In bear markets, they Because they don’t like can drop it to as low as 25%. Their argument is that “Over long periods of time, we believe a static balanced allocation of 50% equities and 50% fixed income has the potential to playing by other provide investors with returns rivaling an equity-only portfolio but with less principal risk, lower volatility, and greater income.” Because they don’t like playing by other people’s people’s rules, the rules, the Osterweis team does not automatically favor intermediate-term, investment grade bonds in the portfolio. Since 2017, the fund’s equity exposure has ranged from Osterweis team does about 60–70%. not automatically How they’ve done favor intermediate- Over the past decade, the fund has averaged 9% annual returns, which does match the “equity-like” promise, at least if you use the stock market’s long-term average of about term, investment 10% per year.

  • Arbitrage Pricing Theory∗
    ARBITRAGE PRICING THEORY∗ Gur Huberman Zhenyu Wang† August 15, 2005 Abstract Focusing on asset returns governed by a factor structure, the APT is a one-period model, in which preclusion of arbitrage over static portfolios of these assets leads to a linear relation between the expected return and its covariance with the factors. The APT, however, does not preclude arbitrage over dynamic portfolios. Consequently, applying the model to evaluate managed portfolios contradicts the no-arbitrage spirit of the model. An empirical test of the APT entails a procedure to identify features of the underlying factor structure rather than merely a collection of mean-variance efficient factor portfolios that satisfies the linear relation. Keywords: arbitrage; asset pricing model; factor model. ∗S. N. Durlauf and L. E. Blume, The New Palgrave Dictionary of Economics, forthcoming, Palgrave Macmillan, reproduced with permission of Palgrave Macmillan. This article is taken from the authors’ original manuscript and has not been reviewed or edited. The definitive published version of this extract may be found in the complete The New Palgrave Dictionary of Economics in print and online, forthcoming. †Huberman is at Columbia University. Wang is at the Federal Reserve Bank of New York and the McCombs School of Business in the University of Texas at Austin. The views stated here are those of the authors and do not necessarily reflect the views of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York or the Federal Reserve System. Introduction The Arbitrage Pricing Theory (APT) was developed primarily by Ross (1976a, 1976b). It is a one-period model in which every investor believes that the stochastic properties of returns of capital assets are consistent with a factor structure.
