Betting against beta (and gamma) using government bonds
Durham, J. Benson - 2015
Purportedly consistent with "risk parity" (RP) asset allocation, recent studies document compelling "low risk" trading strategies that exploit a persistently negative relation between Sharpe ratios (SRs) and maturity along the U.S. Treasury (UST) term structure. This paper extends this evidence...

Option-implied information and predictability of extreme returns
Vilkovz, Grigory; Xiaox, Yan - 2013 - This version: January 28, 2013
We study whether prices of traded options contain information about future extreme market events. Our option-implied conditional expectation of market loss due to tail events, or tail loss measure, predicts future market returns, magnitude, and probability of the market crashes, beyond and above...

A Long Run Risks Model of Asset Pricing with Fat Tails
Wang, Zhiguang - 2011
We explore the effects of fat tails on the equilibrium implications of the long run risks model of asset pricing by introducing innovations with dampened power law to consumption and dividends growth processes. We estimate the structural parameters of the proposed model by maximum likelihood. We...

Common risk factors in equity markets
Atanasov, Victoria - 2014 - This version: May 26, 2014
Empirical measures of world consumption growth risk have failed to rationalize the cross-section of country equity returns. We propose a new factor, termed "the global consumption factor", to explain the patterns in risk premiums on international equity markets. We identify this factor as the...

Betas and Liquidity : Differences in Systematic Price Risk Due to Asymmetric Asset Liquidity and Correlated Funding Shocks
Umlauft, Roland - 2013
This research presents evidence for the existence of differences in asset beta risk in the liquidity cross-section of assets due to correlated trading. It is argued that due to differences in liquidity or cost, most trading activity is concentrated on the subset of liquid assets. In the presence...

Is the Volatility of the Market Price of Risk Due to Intermittent Portfolio Re-Balancing?
Chien, YiLi - 2014
Our paper examines whether the well-documented failure of unsophisticated investors to rebalance their portfolios can help to explain the enormous counter-cyclical volatility of aggregate risk compensation in financial markets. To answer this question, we set up a model in which CRRA-utility...

We test also the timeseries … implications of the theory. Time variation in asset ivol causes time variation in the option value of equity that translates into …

Identifying Portfolio-Based Systematic Risk Factors in Equity Markets
Grobys, Klaus - 2016
Four new prominent asset pricing factors have recently been proposed. We test whether these factors fulfill necessary conditions for qualifying those as risk factors. We show that the investment and betting-against-beta factors fulfill these conditions. However, the profitability and quality...

Time-series momentum : a Monte-Carlo approach
Cheng, Enoch; Struck, Clemens - 2019
This paper develops a Monte-Carlo backtesting procedure for risk premia strategies and employs it to study Time-Series Momentum (TSM). Relying on time-series models, empirical residual distributions and copulas we overcome two key drawbacks of conventional backtesting procedures. We create...
