This paper derives a dynamic version of the international CAPM. The exchange-rate risk factors and intertemporal hedging factors are derived endogenously in a model that builds upon Campbell (1993). We provide a theoretical foundation for empirical risk factors often used in international asset pricing, including dividend yields, forward premia and, especially, exchange-rate indices. The model ...

Most practitioners measure investment performance based on the CAPM, determining portfolio "alphas" or Sharpe Ratios. But the validity of this analysis rests on the validity of the CAPM, which assumes either normally distributed (and therefore symmetric) returns, or mean-variance preferences. Both assumptions are suspect: even if asset returns were normally distributed, the returns of options o...

Downside and asymmtric risk measurement lends itself naturally to emerging equity markets, and offer an attractive alternative to traditional techniques.We investigate which of three models best fits the equity returns of emerging markets: CAPM, the Lower Partial Moment CAPM (LPM-CAPM), and an Asymmetric Response Model (ARM), and discuss implications for investment strategies and risk managemen...

The CAPM is still considered a first-order intellectual achievement, in spite of the current thought leaders also describing it as being “empirically vacuous” (Fama and French, 2006) or that “having a low, middle or high beta does not matter; the expected return is the same” (Ross, 1993).1 In­ deed, I would say the situation is worse, as volatility and beta are generally negatively correlated w...

This paper stresses the importance of assessing the risk-return trade-off faced by environmental industries in financial markets. One of the most widely-used theoretical models in finance is the conditional CAPM, which describes the conditional risk-return tradeoff in financial markets, whereby both the conditional mean return and conditional beta risk are allowed to vary over time. This paper ...

explanation relation between risk and return and capital asset pricing are concepts which is appointed as dominator and major paradigms in capital markets. so far as after offering capm by sharp & lintner, this model has been revised and criticized frequently. in this paper another version of capm has been tested versus traditional capm in tehran stock exchange. this version of capm measures se...

Academic studies show that technical trading rules would have earned substantial excess returns over long periods in foreign exchange markets. However, the approach to risk adjustment has typically been rather cursory. We examine ability of a wide range models: CAPM, quadratic downside Carhart’s 4-factor model, C-CAPM, an extended C-CAPM with durable consumption, Lustig-Verdelhan (LV) carry-tra...
