Definitions
- This invention relates to investments in publicly traded assets in general and more specifically to the stock market. For reaping the utmost benefits from their investments the investors should be able to form accurate expectations of the future returns and their risks so as to choose the most efficient asset portfolios that give highest returns for minimum risks.
- the models invented allow the investors to estimate the asset returns more accurately than the existing linear asset pricing models like Capital Asset Pricing Model (Sharpe, 1964; Lintner, 1965) or its more generalized version called the Ordinary Least Squares Model.
- the models presented here are based on the Rational Function Model (RFM) theory developed by the inventor which has reduced the discrepancies between the returns estimated by the existing linear asset pricing models and the actually observed returns, across increasing risk for a given time period as well as across increasing risk on a continuous real time basis, to the minimum possible levels.
- RFM Rational Function Model
- the CAPM in the form of its more generalized version called the Ordinary Least Squares (OLS) model, is the most popular asset pricing model in use today in both halls of learning as well as in the industry and is given by the following equation (1):
- Rj t and R m t are the asset and the market returns respectively while ? ;>m is the market risk.
- various empirical studies Douglas 1968; Friend and Blume 1970; Miller and Scholes 1972; Blume and Friend 1973; Fama and MacBeth 1973; Stambaugh 1982; Fama and French 1992; Fama and French 2004 etc. reported differences in the theoretical asset returns predicted by the CAPM and the empirical returns that were actually observed. They found that across increasing market risk ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ , the actual asset returns i plotted out much flatter than the ones estimated through CAPM equation (1). Hence, the actual asset returns are higher than the CAPM returns for lower risk and lower than the CAPM returns for higher risk.
- Fama (Fama 1970, Fama and French 2004) put forward the Joint Hypothesis problem that these differences are due to either or both of two possibilities - a) a flawed asset pricing model that does not capture the empirical reality and/or b) an inefficient market that does not abide by the idealistic assumptions of the theoretical model. Further, Fama and French developed a three factor model (Fama and French, 1993, 1996) that utilizes two additional measures besides the index return, viz. the size of the firm and the book to market equity ratio which were found to reduce the discrepancies between the CAPM returns and the actual returns. However, according to Fama and French themselves, the three factor model suffers from the limitation that the two additional factors were included through empirical motivations while the underlying theoretical rationale remains unclear. C) BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
- Fig I is a rough sketch of the plot of Actual returns and CAPM returns across 3 ⁇ 4 as reported by Fama & French (2004).
- Fig. II is a set of charts showing the results of analyzing the returns of the stock portfolios formed from the thirty stock components of the Dow Jones Industrial Average as on January 1 , 2013, using the new RFM model presented as Equation (3) in this application.
- p m t and p m 1 are the index prices on days 't' and - ⁇ respectively, while v m , and v m i are the corresponding index volumes.
- v and v ; are the asset volumes while t t and t t .i are the time values based on the chronological ranks of the day 't' and 't- ⁇ respectively in the whole sample.
- the variable N is any number greater than 0, such that (1 +10 ⁇ N ) X describes the empirical data as best as possible while (1+10 "N ) X gives values low enough to allow meaningful computations.
- the above RFM equation basically forms the conceptual foundation on which we may build the final models for practical or empirical applications after studying the actual data specific to a market.
- Chakraborty has bifurcated the application of the RFM theory into two broad areas depending upon the time intervals being considered for the analyses and given the following two empirically tailored models:
- a) Returns across Risk format This format considers average asset returns (i.e. returns of average asset prices) that have been averaged across the whole of time period of study. These average asset returns are then sorted according to the increasing risk of the assets and studied.
- This format is useful for plotting the risk-return profile of the assets being studied and thus helps in choosing the most efficient asset portfolios.
- the asset prices are computed by the following equation:
- a'i is the intercept
- ⁇ ' ⁇ to ⁇ 4 are the slope coefficients
- a, b, c and d are appropriate exponential and base numbers as shown in the above equation.
- the variable for index price p m , t has been replaced by the term [ ⁇ (1+R m t ) pu- ] ⁇ a ] as this term is a variant of the OLS model expressed in terms of prices and hence the index price information is contained in the variable R m t .
- the term containing the information on the variable for index volume v m is basically the inverse tangent function of the percentage change in the index volume between two consecutive observations, i.e.
- Vm.t [(v m ,t - v m ,t-i) / Vm,t-i] ⁇
- This term was used for representing the index volume in the model since inverse tangent function plots similar to logarithmic function but was found to give slightly better results empirically.
- the variable for asset volume v ;>i was dropped from the empirical model since its contribution was found to be negligible.
- b) Returns across Risk-Time format This format studies continuous asset returns across both increasing risk and time. This format is useful in describing the asset returns across risk and time and study the existing asset data. Since this format uses data on a single time interval basis, the empirical asset returns were found to behave 'approximately' linearly.
- this paper has developed another model for the purpose of forecasting of asset returns in order to help investors arrive at more accurate estimates of future asset returns in order to form more realistic expectations. As the markets are efficient and many of the events occurring are unpredictable, hence no perfect forecasting of asset returns is possible.
- Ri.t ⁇ , + ⁇ " ⁇ ,,[ ⁇ 1 + ln(p m , t /p m ) + t, ⁇ ( Pi , t -i) a ] b + ⁇ " ⁇ ,, [ln(p m ,t/p m ,t-i)] + fi'Wtt) C - - -(5)
- ⁇ " ; ⁇ is the intercept
- fi"n rt to fi"n_ t are the slope coefficients while a, b and c are the exponential numbers as shown in the above equation.
- the main objective of this paper is to provide preliminary empirical results after testing the RFM concepts in the US stock market.
- a similar study (Chakraborty, forthcoming) has already been carried out for the Indian stock market. Accordingly, a sample of only 30 stocks that constituted the Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) as on January 1 , 2013 was selected for this study.
- the DJIA is the oldest and one of the most popular stock indices in the US.
- the daily price and volume data of these stocks were collected from the website of NASDAQ for the last 10 years, i.e. from January 2003 to February 2013.
- the data on two indices - DJIA and S&P500 were collected from Yahoo! Finance website.
- the stocks in each of these main samples were first sorted as per increasing risk as measured by the variance of their returns during the last 12 observations and then regrouped into five sub-portfolios PI to P5 of six stocks each, wherein PI consisted of the six stocks of lowest variance while P5 contained six stocks of the highest variance.
- the returns of the full sample portfolio (P-full) consisting of all the 30 stocks were also analyzed and studied.
- the ranked series of stock prices were reconstructed from the stock returns series for each rank, using some common base number (like 100), so as to avoid sudden sharp changes in prices of these rank-stocks due to changes in stock rankings after each sorting.
- the RFM estimates of the asset returns are more accurate than the OLS estimates across both across Risk as well as Risk-Time formats as indicated by the results from the equations (3) and (4).
- asset returns are non-linear in nature and hence do not add linearly in a portfolio.
- these asset returns could be treated as 'approximately' linear over time series data involving single time intervals.
- the additional factors apart from the index price like the stock volume, index volume and time trends that have been identified by the RFM theory should be used for estimating the asset returns for both cross-sectional as well as time-series data. This proves that asset price and asset volume are complementary market forces, since the third basic factor - time is an uncontrollable and passive factor.
