Market Anomalies on Return

Authors

Abstract:

There are various anomalies in the financial markets such as profitability, financial distress, lottery, volatility, and growth options, which origin and nature are unclear, ambiguous and apparently unrelated. In this study, we investigate the seemingly unrelated anomalies using the third and fourth moments of return’s distribution function and by isolating the expected skewness effect attributed to future growth options to evaluate the investors' performance in portfolio selection. For this purpose, the data of 114 companies listed in Tehran Stock Exchange between 2011 and 2016 are reviewed based on portfolio modeling and factor models. Results shows that performance is better when investing at highest expected idiosyncratic skewness attributed to future growth options.

In an experimental test of whether these observations are due to treatment (market experience) or selectio...

We examine institutional investor demand for stocks that are categorized as mispriced according to twelve well-known pricing anomalies. We find that institutional demand prior to anomaly portfolio formation is typically on the wrong side of the anomalies’ implied mispricing. That is, we find increases in institutional ownership for overvalued stocks and decreases in institutional ownership for ...

New return anomalies and new-Keynesian ICAPM☆☆☆

a r t i c l e i n f o I propose a new multi-factor asset pricing model with new-Keynesian factors to explain stock return anomalies from 1972Q1 to 2009Q2. This new model explains the average returns across testing portfolios formed on financial distress, momentum, and standardized unexpected earnings with misspecification-robust statistics. Test portfolios formed on net stock issues and total a...

Does Diversification Explain Market Anomalies ?

Empirical evidence suggests that stockholders do not diversify their portfolios to any significant level, and they are compensated for bearing idiosyncratic risk. In this paper, we breakdown the abnormal returns of size, value, long-term-reversal, momentum, and short-term contrarian premiums into diversification and net selectivity components to find that the anomalies in the U.S. and the inter...
