چکیده

Stock selection models often use analysts’ expectations, momentum, and fundamental data. We find support for composite modeling using these sources of data for global stocks during the period 1997–2011. We also find evidence to support the use of SunGard APT and Axiomamulti-factor models for portfolio construction and risk control. Three levels of testing for stock selection and portfolio construction models are developed and estimated. We create portfolios for January 1997–December 2011. We report three conclusions: (1) analysts’ forecast information was rewarded by the global market between January 1997 and December 2011; (2) analysts’ forecasts can be combined with reported fundamental data, such as earnings, book value, cash flow and sales, and also with momentum, in a stock selection model for identifying mispriced securities; and (3) the portfolio returns of themulti-factor risk-controlled portfolios allow us to reject the null hypothesis for the data mining corrections test. The earnings forecasting variable dominates our composite model in terms of its impact on stock selection. © 2014 International Institute of Forecasters. Published by Elsevier B.V.

A New Efficient Metaheuristic Model for Stock Portfolio Management and its Performance Evaluation by Risk-adjusted Methods

In this research, we proposed a new metaheuristic technique for stock portfolio multi-objective optimization employing the combination of Strength Pareto Evolutionary Algorithm (SPEA), Adaptive Neuro-Fuzzy Inference System (ANFIS) and Arbitrage Pricing Theory (APT). To generate the more precise model, ANFIS has implemented to envisage long-term movement values of the Tehran Stock Exchange (TSE)...

Applied mean-ETL optimization in using earnings forecasts

In this article, we apply the mean-expected tail loss (ETL) portfolio optimization to the consensus temporary earnings forecasting (CTEF) data from global equities. The time series model with multivariate normal tempered stable (MNTS) innovations is used to generate the out-of-sample scenarios for the portfolio optimization. We find that (1) the CTEF variable continues to be of value in portfol...

The Tail Mean-Variance Model and Extended Efficient Frontier

In portfolio theory, it is well-known that the distributions of stock returns often have non-Gaussian characteristics. Therefore, we need non-symmetric distributions for modeling and accurate analysis of actuarial data. For this purpose and optimal portfolio selection, we use the Tail Mean-Variance (TMV) model, which focuses on the rare risks but high losses and usually happens in the tail of r...
