Both stochastic dominance and Omegaratio can be used to examine whether the market is efficient, whether there is any arbitrage opportunity in the market and whether there is any anomaly in the market. In this paper, we first study the relationship between stochastic dominance and the Omega...

It is common to evaluate mutual fund (and in general, security) returns by linear factor models. However, performance measures from these models are misleading if there are some omitted factors that explain cross-sectional variation in returns. We propose to use a latent-factor approach,...

This paper applies Magni's (2011) Aggregate Return On Investment (AROI)to investment performance measurement. We show that the ratio of undiscountednet cash flow to undiscounted invested capital is not a naive metric (itseemingly does not take the time value of money into account). It is a...

Using a comprehensive set of 103 equity strategies, we analyze the value of volatility-managed portfolios for real-time investors. Volatility-managed portfolios do not systematically outperform their corresponding unmanaged portfolios in direct comparisons. Consistent with Moreira and Muir...

Both stochastic dominance and Omega ratio can be used to examine whether market is efficient, whether there is any arbitrage opportunity in the market, and whether there is any anomaly in the market. In this paper, we first study relationship between stochastic dominance and Omega ratio. We find...

This paper is on decision theoretical foundations for various types of VaR models, including VaR and conditional-VaR, as objective measures of downside risk for financial prospects. We establish the connections of the VaRs with the first- and the second-order stochastic dominance investment...
