1) The Global Managed Volatility strategy has outperformed the market index over the past 13 years while significantly reducing risk, as measured by volatility.
2) The strategy's outperformance is driven by its low exposure to the underperforming market factor during this period, as well as positive exposure to the value and small-cap factors.
3) Exposure to value stocks can be attributed to these stocks' neglected nature and de-correlated behavior, while exposure to small-caps comes from their greater number leading to more frequent selection in a non-market cap weighted strategy. The strategy's performance is diversified across multiple factors rather than relying solely on volatility reduction.
This weeks paper addresses steps to overcome the retirement income challenge.
For retirees, investing in fixed income simply may not fulfill income or risk management needs, while investing heavily in equities may expose these investors to untimely amounts of risk. As Americans face this retirement income challenge, it is no wonder that portfolio longevity is now of greater concern than public speaking.
1) A managed volatility approach seeks to provide competitive returns compared to a benchmark index while maintaining lower volatility over the long term by constructing a portfolio of stocks with low expected volatility.
2) The document summarizes the results of a simulation of a managed volatility strategy for an EMU portfolio between 1999-2010 which showed an improved Sharpe ratio and higher risk-adjusted returns compared to the benchmark index with over 28% lower volatility.
3) Managed volatility strategies that aim to limit downside risk while maintaining potential upside have become increasingly popular with investors seeking to control risk independently from returns.
This document presents a model of market momentum. The model shows that:
[1] Momentum is more pronounced in a confident market where investors incorporate new information into prices more slowly.
[2] Only idiosyncratic shocks, not systematic shocks, can produce momentum, as systematic shocks do not affect cross-sectional stock returns.
[3] Empirical evidence supports the predictions, finding momentum is greater when volatility (and uncertainty) is lower, and when stocks experience larger idiosyncratic shocks.
2012 what drives value tilt portfolios overperformanceFrederic Jamet
- Value tilt portfolios that invest in stocks with low valuations like price-to-book ratios have historically outperformed the overall market. There are various methods to construct value tilt indexes and ETFs.
- There are rational explanations for the outperformance like receiving higher returns for bearing additional market risk, as well as behavioral explanations involving investor overreaction. However, some argue the outperformance could be coincidental and may not continue in the future.
- The document discusses several well-known value indexes from providers like MSCI, FTSE, and Russell, and analyzes the characteristics of a hypothetical value tilt portfolio that outperformed with similar risk to the overall market.
The document summarizes research on the performance of trend-following investing across global markets from 1903 to 2012. Key findings include:
1) Trend-following strategies have delivered consistently strong positive returns each decade for over a century, with low correlation to traditional assets.
2) Trend-following strategies performed best during large equity market declines, helping diversify traditional portfolios.
3) Backtesting shows that allocating 20% of a 60% stock/40% bond portfolio to trend-following from 1903 to 2012 would have increased returns, lowered volatility, and reduced maximum drawdown.
2015 why low beta (and not low volatility) outperformsFrederic Jamet
This document discusses why low beta strategies outperform compared to low volatility strategies. It provides 7 theoretical arguments for why low beta stocks are underpriced, including behavioral biases that push investors towards high beta stocks and rational constraints that limit arbitrage of the low beta anomaly. Empirically, it shows that both low beta and low volatility strategies have outperformed the market, but the outperformance is better explained by the low beta feature rather than just low volatility. Low beta strategies tend to have lower skewness, which makes them less risky and more attractively priced by rational investors.
Callan's director of Hedge Fund Research, Jim McKee, explores the advantages of momentum-based investing strategies, which profit from market trends in whichever direction. He discusses the rationale behind them, how they are defined and harnessed for different diversification needs, and whether they are appropriate for fund sponsors.

The document discusses the Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM) and its use in calculating the required rate of return for Greggs plc. It provides background on the development of the CAPM by Markowitz and Sharpe. The author then calculates the beta and required rate of return for Greggs using 5 years of stock price data and the CAPM formula. While the CAPM is widely used, the document also discusses criticisms of the model, such as its unrealistic assumptions and inability to explain all returns. Overall, the CAPM remains a commonly used model despite its limitations.

Lodging REIT Analysis - Keynote Presentation for Research Committee by Brad K...Brad Kuskin
Although numerous studies examine REIT performance over extended periods of time, many online and data-driven investment tools do not adequately provide existing and prospective investors with the tools necessary to extract business management risk out of lodging REIT returns. Given investors' current reliance on technology and graphic-oriented return analysis, it is critical that lodging REIT shareholders understand that not all equity REITs are equal. Typically, investors govern by a combination of return on capital and diversification. However, lodging REITs are inherently misleading due to their "equity REIT" classification.
As lodging REITs expand to encompass a vast portion of the hospitality industry, particularly marquis lodging assets in primary metropolitan markets, an accurate comprehension of inherent risks is critical for any investor considering deploying capital into a lodging REIT.
The document provides an update on the MintKit Growth Index (MGX), which tracks a selection of large-cap stocks focused on steady growth at modest risk. In 2018, the stock market fluctuated significantly and MGX underperformed the broader market, falling 11.8% compared to a 6.2% drop in the S&P 500. For 2019, the MGX roster has been revised to emphasize stable growth over high-potential but volatile stocks, in light of continued uncertainty expected in the market.
The document analyzes stock market patterns and the overall market. It examines the correlation between individual stock prices and volume and how they relate to market direction. The analysis finds that from 2007-2009 and 2013-2014, 5 randomly selected stocks (BLL, CAT, GIS, AON, MKC) followed the overall market's weak trends. Their price-volume correlations and beta values relative to the S&P 500 were low. However, the stocks generally moved in the same direction as the market during up and down periods. More data over varied periods would be needed to better determine if individual stocks reliably track the overall market.
This document discusses the concept of error terms in investment returns and strategies. It makes three key points:
1) Even portfolios with identical exposures to risk factors like market, size, and value will experience random variation in returns over time due to residual error from differences in underlying security holdings. This error averages to zero over the long run.
2) Tax-managed investment strategies will differ in returns from benchmarks, but offer higher after-tax returns justifying the tracking error. Maximum annual deviations were 2.3% overperformance and 1.3% underperformance.
3) The Fama-French multifactor model helps investors manage systematic risk factors rather than focus on arbitrary benchmarks or short-term noise in

Stock Return Forecast - Theory and Empirical EvidenceTai Tran
The document discusses several models for stock return forecasting including CAPM, the Fama-French three-factor model, a four-factor model with momentum, and a five-factor model including asset growth. Empirical evidence is presented analyzing daily returns of Coca-Cola stock in 2005, finding that momentum is highly significant in predicting returns, while beta is less so. Multi-factor models, particularly the four and five-factor models, provide improved forecasting over CAPM alone, though with increasing complexity. Limitations include selection bias and issues with beta estimation.
While the Dow and other indices are frequently interpreted as indicators of broader stock market performance, the stocks composing these indices may not be representative of an investor’s total portfolio.
Investing in a Rising Rate Environment - Dec. 2011RobertWBaird
- Rising interest rates can negatively impact bond prices in the short-term but a focus on total return, which includes interest income, provides a more accurate picture of bond performance over time.
- An analysis of periods from 1994-2006 when the Federal Reserve raised rates found that while bond prices fell in the majority of months, interest income was positive every month and total returns were positive in 64% of months.
- Diversifying across different types of bonds can help mitigate the effects of rising rates as different bond segments perform variably depending on economic conditions. Professional bond managers employ strategies to offset negative impacts and maximize total returns.
The BCG matrix is a chart created by Bruce Henderson at Boston Consulting Group in 1970 to analyze business units and allocate resources. It categorizes products as Cash Cows, Dogs, Question Marks, or Stars based on their relative market share and the market growth rate. Cash Cows have high market share in a slow-growing market and generate cash. Dogs have low market share in a mature market and barely break even. Question Marks have low market share in a fast-growing market. Stars have high market share in a fast-growing market but require investment to maintain growth. The matrix is used to determine which products to invest in versus divest.
Midcap Category – riskier than largecaps but outperform over long runDhuraivel Gunasekaran
1) The document analyzes the risk and returns of midcap and largecap mutual fund categories over various time periods using different calculation methods of standard deviation.
2) It finds that midcaps generally carry higher risk than largecaps according to standard deviation calculated from monthly, quarterly, and annual returns, while daily returns sometimes show lower midcap risk.
3) However, midcaps have outperformed largecaps in returns over longer periods of 9 years or more for funds and 5 years or more for SIP investments.
The document discusses Management by Objectives (MBO). It describes MBO as having three steps: 1) set individual objectives and plans, 2) give feedback and evaluate performance, 3) reward according to performance. It also lists two common sources of MBO failure: lack of top management commitment and employees' negative beliefs about management's sincerity in including them in decision making. The document provides information on various strategic management frameworks including the GE 9-cell matrix, life-cycle portfolio matrix, and differences between strategy formulation and implementation.
The document describes a stock market model called the "Fab Five" environmental model. The Fab Five model uses four main components - sentiment, monetary readings, combo, and tape (given double weight). Each component is made up of multiple indicators that are assigned values of +1, 0, or -1. The values are combined for each component and across components to assess overall market risk and determine whether conditions are bearish, neutral, or bullish. Examples of indicators include interest rates, market breadth, sentiment polls/surveys, and moving average crosses.
The document discusses a 2008 journal article that examines how quantifying language in news stories can predict firms' fundamentals and stock returns. It finds that a higher frequency of negative words forecasts lower earnings and brief underreactions in stock prices that correct over time. Words related to fundamentals have the highest predictability. The findings suggest investors quickly incorporate qualitative information from news into stock prices.
The document summarizes research on value investing in emerging markets. It finds that:
1) A simple valuation model can identify emerging markets with higher expected returns compared to average emerging markets.
2) A portfolio of "undervalued" emerging markets identified by the model generates superior returns compared to benchmarks, with statistical significance.
3) Risk measures of the portfolio of undervalued emerging markets are close to risk measures of broader emerging market benchmarks, implying the higher returns are not compensated by significantly higher risk.
The strategic-beta ETP landscape has continued growing over the past year, with 844 ETPs and $497 billion in assets globally as of June 2015. Dividend-focused ETPs remain the most popular type except in one region. New ETPs track increasingly complex benchmarks. As the market matures, fee competition is expected to increase and less successful ETPs may be culled. The US dominates with 435 ETPs and $450 billion in assets, reflecting its large, mature market.

Keynote (EN): Beyond Budgeting in Practice, at Quality & Excellence Conferenc...Gebhard Borck
The document discusses the need for a new management model beyond traditional budgeting and command-and-control hierarchies. It notes that the world has become more dynamic, complex, and customer-focused, requiring organizations to be more adaptive, decentralized, and responsive. It then outlines principles of the Beyond Budgeting model, which focuses on customer responsibility, devolved leadership, relative targets, transparency, and dynamic processes rather than annual planning and control. Examples are given of companies like Handelsbanken that have successfully implemented aspects of this new model.
This document summarizes research on the momentum factor in equities. It finds that stocks with strong recent performance tend to continue outperforming, known as the momentum effect. The biggest challenge for capturing momentum is its high inherent turnover. Using optimization in portfolio construction can successfully capture momentum while controlling turnover. Adding momentum to portfolios with other factors like value provides diversification benefits due to its negative correlation with value.

Parametric provides strategies for exploiting increased market volatility, including rebalancing portfolios and using options strategies. Rebalancing reduces concentration risks and volatility over time by selling assets that have increased in value and buying those that have decreased, capturing returns from volatility. Options strategies can also provide downside protection for portfolios while retaining upside potential. Parametric implemented an options overlay for a client in 2008 that protected against a 5-20% market decline while retaining upside to 30%, balancing protection and participation in gains.
1. Studypool-Midexam Capital Market Analysis.pdfDesmanHansen1
1) The document discusses capital markets and investment analysis in Indonesia. It analyzes 5 stocks using Markowitz efficient frontier analysis to create an optimal portfolio.
2) It finds adding a risk-free asset shifts the efficient frontier upward, changing the stock allocations. Regression analysis finds the portfolio has a positive alpha and beta, indicating abnormal returns and that returns increase with the market.
3) Behavioral factors like overconfidence and loss aversion likely impact the market, suggesting it is not fully efficient. The positive alpha also implies abnormal returns are possible.

Convertible bonds can provide diversification benefits and higher risk-adjusted returns than equities or bonds in a low-yield environment. NN Investment Partners examines the historical performance of convertible bonds globally and in Japan, where convertibles outperformed stocks and bonds for the past decade. The document describes a predictive model for convertible bond returns based on stochastic diffusion of key market factors. The model aims to assess how convertibles may contribute positively to asset allocation going forward in the current low-yield environment.
[LATAM EN] The use of convertible bonds in the asset allocation processNN Investment Partners
Convertible bonds can provide diversification benefits and higher risk-adjusted returns than other asset classes in a low-yield environment. The document examines historical performance of convertible bonds globally and in Japan, which experienced low yields for over a decade. A simulation model is described that predicts future convertible bond returns based on stochastic diffusion of key market factors. The document concludes convertible bonds deserve consideration for asset allocation given their ability to participate in equity upside while providing downside protection from bond floors.
An alternative perspective to EM investing: The case for an industry allocati...Jean Meilhoc Ricaume
Investors have long recognised the compelling opportunity offered by emerging markets equities. Yet while returns from the asset class have considerably outperformed developed markets equities over previous market cycles, they have tended to be more volatile, severely testing investors’ resolve. Rather than attempting to time market allocations, or select regions or specific countries to over- or underweight, we believe that our proprietary emerging markets macro growth indicators and skill in identifying industry performance relative to them may offer investors a differentiated source of returns.
The much-heralded decoupling of the financial markets between developed, emerging and frontier markets met its nemesis in the 2008/9 global financial crisis- The Great Recession. For the believer in a diversified global basket of stocks or indices this came as a crushing blow. This notwithstanding, we still believe that a globally-diversified passive buy-and-hold strategy provides the best chance at maximising net investment return. We test this empirically.
The document discusses strategies for creating an investment portfolio based on Nobel Prize-winning academic research. It recommends structuring portfolios to take advantage of factors like company size, relative price, and profitability that have been shown to increase returns. Specifically, it suggests investing more in small and value stocks, as both have higher returns than large or growth stocks over the long run. The document also provides examples of model portfolios that diversify across global stock and bond index funds targeting these factors.
The document discusses quant's business cycle fund strategy. It begins with an overview of how business cycles are influenced by various macroeconomic factors and real economic indicators. It then discusses how quant uses tools like money flow analytics and their VLRT framework to identify investment opportunities across sectors that are well-positioned given the current stage of the business cycle. The strategy aims to generate superior risk-adjusted returns by taking a flexible approach to sector allocation and focusing on businesses set to benefit from changing cycles.

This document summarizes a statistical arbitrage strategy that evaluates mean reversion in stock prices over time. It describes the strategy's assumptions that stock prices temporarily diverge from their equilibrium relative to the market before reverting. The experiment uses S&P 500 stock data to calculate daily returns, correlations, betas and residuals over rolling 60-day windows. When residuals exceed +/-2 standard deviations, positions are taken assuming reversion will occur. While backtested returns are appealing, live trading realities like transaction costs and limited share availability would likely reduce profits versus this theoretical analysis.

What are the Performance
Drivers of the Global Managed
Volatility Strategy?
The Modern Portfolio Theory developed by Harry Markowitz
and William Sharpe explored the concept of efficient portfolios.
An efficient portfolio is one which delivers the maximum
expected return for a defined level of risk. Under the theory, the
market capitalization portfolio—which is held to be approximated
by the MSCI World index—is efficient. A portfolio which has
the minimum expected volatility is also supposed to be efficient
since no portfolio should have a lower risk. According to the
theory, and to common sense, the minimum volatility portfolio
should have a lower volatility and a lower performance than the
market capitalization portfolio.
However and perhaps surprisingly, it appears that for the
past 13 years the minimum volatility portfolio has experienced
a consistent outperformance versus the market capitalization
portfolio. And this has been coupled with a consistent reduction
of risk (as expressed by volatility).
Does this performance come solely from the pure low-beta
characteristic of the strategy or is there any kind of contribution
coming from value or small-cap exposure? This piece explores
the performance drivers of this kind of strategy.
Implementing a Minimum Volatility Strategy
The concept of the theoretical minimum volatility can be practi-
cally implemented through strategies such as SSgA’s Global
Managed Volatility product, or through index provider strategies
such as the MSCI World Minimum Volatility Index or the STOXX
Global 1800 Minimum Variance Index. The SSgA Global
Managed Volatility strategy aims to create a 100% equity portfolio
within the MSCI World universe. It uses quadratic optimization
in order to produce the minimum volatility with the minimum set
of other constraints. To judge its performance, we will review the
strategy compared to its two natural benchmarks.
The first of these is the MSCI World strategy. This is the market
capitalization index and the efficient benchmark according
to Modern Portfolio Theory. The other is the Equi Weighted
strategy. This strategy gives equal weight to every stock of the
MSCI World population. It is readjusted back to equal weight
every quarter. Some consider this Equi Weighted strategy to be
the most appropriate benchmark because it gives the universe
of possible investment without taking into account information
such as market capitalization. As such, it could be considered
as perfectly neutral.
Chart 1 shows the performance and risks (volatility) of the
3 strategies. The 1998–2011 period is used in order to have at
least the typical 10 years and to include the technology bubble.
The Global Managed Volatility strategy has experienced a strong
outperformance over the MSCI World, showing both an increase
in performance and a decrease in volatility. The decrease in
volatility was expected since the strategy has been designed to
minimize volatility. However, the outperformance would not be
expected according to theory. To understand this result more,
we analyse the sources of the outperformance below. The
Equi Weighted World strategy has experienced a comparable
magnitude of outperformance but with higher levels of volatility,
that is, with more risk.

The 3 Performance Factors—Market, Value and Small-cap
In his Capital Asset Pricing Model theory, or CAPM, William
Sharpe suggested that the performance of a portfolio arises
from a unique factor: the market factor, or beta. This concept
has since been extended by Eugene Fama and Kenneth
French, who suggested adding 2 other factors: the small-cap
factor and the value factor.
The Factor Calculation
We have computed the value and small-cap factors in a
straightforward way in order to follow the Fama and French
approach. (This computation was made specifically in order to
have the same systematic approach for value and small-cap
factors: this is not the standard MSCI computation.)
Each year the MSCI World is split into 2 halves that represent
each 50% of the MSCI World market cap. The high value stocks
are the 50% bottom Price/Book (P/B) whereas the low value
stocks are the 50% top P/B. The value factor is then the perfor-
mance of the bottom P/B stocks minus the performance of the
top P/B stocks. The small-cap factor represents the performance
of the 50% bottom market cap stocks minus the 50% large
market cap stocks. Each factor is recomputed every year.
The market factor is represented by the MSCI World index
minus the T-Bill 3 months USD (which represents the risk-free
rate i.e. the interest an investor would expect from an absolutely
risk-free investment over a period of time). The performances
and risks of the 3 factors are described below in Chart 2.
Historical returns represent the 1926–2009 performance of
comparable factors in the US market.
The market factor has produced a poor performance over the
period since the MSCI World has underperformed the risk-free
rate for the 13 year period we are assessing. Consequently,
any strategy that has been underexposed to the market—such
as Global Managed Volatility, or any blend of market-exposed
strategy and risk-free rate or fixed income—is likely to have
overperformed. It should be noted that this past 13 years of
underperformance for the MSCI World could be considered an
unusually bad performance, when compared to historical returns.
The value and small-cap factor have had a positive and material
outperformance for the past 13 years, more or less in line with
the long-term historical return.
Performance Drivers of the Global Managed Volatility Strategy
Chart 4 shows the factor exposures of each of the 3 strategies,
for the period 1998 to 2011.
Both the Global Managed Volatility strategy and the Equi
Weighted strategy have relatively comparable exposure.
They both have a significant positive exposure to the market,
value and small-cap factors. Both exhibit a monthly positive
alpha although not significantly different from zero. The Global
Managed Volatility strategy has a lower exposure to the market
factor, or beta; and the Equi Weighted strategy has a higher
exposure to the small-cap factor.
The value exposure of the Global Managed Volatility strategy
can be explained by the fact that a neglected stock has a
de-correlated behaviour. Neglected stocks probably have a
value bias because they are neglected, and will be overweighted
in the Global Managed Volatility strategy because they
are de-correlated.

The small-cap exposure can be explained by the fact that any
strategy that is not market-cap weighted tends to select stocks
more frequently in the small-cap area, because small-cap
stocks are more numerous.
The variance of the strategies, or the source of the performance
and volatility are analysed in the Chart 5. Variance is considered
here as the square of the annualized volatility where volatility is
the standard deviation of the monthly rate of returns.
The major contributor to the total variance, i.e. the major driver
of the strategy, is the market factor. The outperformance of the
Global Managed Volatility strategy comes firstly because of the
low beta, or low exposure to the market factor. However a signif-
icant source of variance comes from the small-cap and value
factors, and from their combination.
In fact it seems that, according to the variance analysis, the value
added of the Equi Weighted strategy comes from the high over-
exposure and outperformance of the small-cap factor. The Global
Managed Volatility strategy seems more complex: its sources of
value added are more diversified amongst value and small-cap,
and a significant part of the variance remains unexplained.
Conclusion
As expected the Global Managed Volatility strategy has offered
a significant reduction in volatility during the part 13 years.
However, additionally, the strategy has significantly outper-
formed the MSCI World index.
The main driver of the strategy’s performance has been the
low exposure to the market or the exposure to a low beta factor,
and the mediocre performance of the market. These have
contributed 59% of the total variance.
However the Global Managed Volatility strategy is also signifi-
cantly exposed to value and small-cap factors. This exposure is a
structural part of the strategy. They have contributed 14% of the
total variance. It thus appears that the Global Managed Volatility
strategy offers not only a simple volatility reduction, but also a
larger and more diversified exposure to other risk premiums.
