Inspired by Aumann and Serrano (2008) and Foster and Hart (2009), we propose risk-neutral options' implied measures of … riskiness and investigate their significance in predicting the cross section of expected returns per unit of risk. The empirical … stock returns. Stocks in the lowest riskiness portfolio have economically and statistically higher risk-adjusted returns …

This paper investigates the extent to which market risk, residual risk, and tail risk explain the cross sectional … dispersion in hedge fund returns. The paper introduces a comprehensive measure of systematic risk (SR) for individual hedge funds … by breaking up total risk into systematic and fund specific or residual risk components. Contrary to the popular …

price both systematic (beta and co-skewness) and non-systematic (idiosyncratic volatility) risk when determining the … appropriate rate of return on a security. We demonstrate that price targets contain risk-related information not incorporated into … other ex-ante measures of expected returns, as the risk/reward relations are not present using the other measures. Use of …

A conditional asset pricing model with risk and uncertainty implies that the time-varying exposures of equity … portfolios to the market and uncertainty factors carry positive risk premiums. The empirical results from the size, book … correlated with economic uncertainty proxied by the variance risk premium (VRP) carry a significant, annualized 8 percent premium …

We find that the resulting uncertainty betas explain a significant proportion of …
