  • Arbitrage Pricing Theory∗

    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.

    What Do Fund Flows Reveal About Asset Pricing Models and Investor Sophistication?

    What do fund flows reveal about asset pricing models and investor sophistication? Narasimhan Jegadeesh and Chandra Sekhar Mangipudi☆ Goizueta Business School Emory University January, 2019 ☆Narasimhan Jegadeesh is the Dean’s Distinguished Professor at the Goizueta Business School, Emory University, Atlanta, GA 30322, ph: 404-727-4821, email: [email protected]., Chandra Sekhar Mangipudi is a Doctoral student at Emory University, email: [email protected] . We would like to thank Jonathan Berk, Kent Daniel, Amit Goyal, Cliff Green, Jay Shanken, and the seminar participants at the 2018 SFS Cavalcade North America, Louisiana State University and Virginia Tech for helpful discussions, comments, and suggestions. What do fund flows reveal about asset pricing models and investor sophistication? Recent literature uses the relative strength of the relation between fund flows and alphas with respect to various multifactor models to draw inferences about the best asset pricing model and about investor sophistication. This paper analytically shows that such inferences are tenable only under certain assumptions and we test their empirical validity. Our results indicate that any inference about the true asset pricing model based on alpha-flow relations is empirically untenable. The literature uses a multifactor model that includes all factors as the benchmark to assess investor sophistication. We show that the appropriate benchmark excludes some factors when their betas are estimated from the data, but even with this benchmark the rejection of investor sophistication in the literature is empirically tenable. An extensive literature documents that net fund flows into mutual funds are driven by funds’ past performance. For example, Patel, Zeckhauser, and Hendricks (1994) document that equity mutual funds with bigger returns attract more cash inflows and they offer various behavioral explanations for this phenomenon.
  • The Beta Anomaly and Mutual Fund Performance∗

    The Beta Anomaly and Mutual Fund Performance∗

    The Beta Anomaly and Mutual Fund Performance Paul Irvine Jeong Ho (John) Kim Texas Christian University Emory University Jue Ren Texas Christian University February 7, 2019 Abstract We find evidence for the beta anomaly in mutual fund performance. This anomaly is not accounted for in the standard four-factor framework, nor by the addition of a BAB factor to the benchmark model. We show how controlling for the beta anomaly produces an alternative measure of managerial skill that we call active alpha. Active alpha is persistent and associated with superior portfolio performance. Therefore, it would be sensible for investors to reward managers with high active alpha. In addition to allocating their money based on standard alpha, we find that a subset of sophisti- cated investors allocate their assets to funds with high active alpha performance. We would like to thank Jeffrey Busse, Kevin Crotty, Jon Fulkerson, Tong Xu, James Yae, Virgilio Zurita, seminar participants at Emory University and Fudan University, and participants at the KAEA-ASSA 2018 Workshop, the MFA 2018 Annual Meeting, the 2018 EFA Annual Meeting, the GCFC2018, and the 2018 Lone Star Finance Conference for their comments. We apologize for any errors remaining in the paper. Corresponding author: John Kim, Emory University, 1602 Fishburne Drive, Atlanta, GA 30322, e-mail: [email protected]. 1 Introduction The empirical asset pricing literature supplies convincing evidence that high-beta assets often deliver lower expected returns than predicted by the CAPM, and that lower beta assets deliver returns higher than expected according to the CAPM (Black, Jensen, and Scholes (1972), Gibbons, Ross, and Shanken (1989), Baker, Bradley, and Wurgler (2011)).
