We evaluate the relative performance of funds by conditioning their returns on the cross-section of portfolio characteristics
across fund managers. Our implied procedure circumvents the need to specify benchmark returns or peer funds. Instead, fund-specific
benchmarks for measuring selection and market timing ability are constructed. This technique is robust to herding as well
as window dressing and mitigates survivorship bias. Empirically, the conditional information contained in portfolio weights
defined by industry sectors, assets, and geographical regions is important to the assessment of fund management. For each
set of portfolio characteristics, we identify funds with success at either selecting securities or timing-the-market.

This paper examines the use of futures contracts to hedge residential real estate price risk. We examine whether existing
futures contacts can effectively be used to offset volatility in national house prices. Little evidence of any simple systematic
relation between national prices and futures prices is found. Since house prices are not easily replicated with a portfolio
of existing futures contracts, a further implication is that the Chicago Mercantile’s introduction of a financial asset whose
value reflects house prices will help complete the market. Nevertheless, the success of the CME’s new derivative contracts
may be limited in light of state and regional house price correlations.

A recent trend in the German asset-backed securities (ABS) market is the securitization of subordinated loans and profit participation agreements (PPAs) granted to medium-sized
enterprises (MEs). This paper provides an overview of this growing market and analyzes the benefits of such transactions for
portfolio companies as well as for originators and potential investors. Simulations of 10 recent transactions indicate that
despite the relatively low interest rates charged on obligors, originators and investors can earn attractive returns at fairly
low risk. In particula, the junior tranches of these securitizations exhibit quite attractive risk-return profiles.

In a continuous-time framework, the issue of how to delegate an investor’s portfolio decision to a portfolio manager is studied.
First, we solve the first-best problem. For the second-best case, a specific quadratic contract is introduced resolving the
agency conflict completely in the sense that the solutions to the first-best and second-best problems coincide. This contract
can be implemented if the investor is able to observe the value of the growth optimal portfolio at her investment horizon.
If the investment opportunity set is assumed to be constant, in equilibrium the value of the market portfolio is a sufficient
statistic for the value of the growth optimal portfolio. Throughout the paper, we assume that the investor and the manager
have homogeneous expectations about the investment opportunity set. This, however, does not necessarily mean that investor
and manager are symmetrically informed about all prices.

This paper re-examines and extends the findings of Bond et al., Journal of Real Estate Finance and Economics, 34, 447–461, (2007) who consider the theoretical model of Lin and Vandell, Real Estate Economics, 35, 291–330, (2007) to determine the extent to which individual real estate asset return characteristics caused by marketing
period risk disappear in a large, diversified real estate portfolio. The effects of marketing period risk are found to disappear
in the limit with growth in the size of the portfolio, with ex ante variance approaching ex post variance, but only if the portfolio consists of nonsystematic risk alone, in which case both approach zero. The marketing period risk factor (MPRF), representing the ratio of ex ante to ex post variance, however, does not in general approach zero in the limit, in fact could increase or decrease depending upon the
illiquidity characteristics of the individual assets and the magnitude and degree of correlation among individual property
returns and marketing periods. The results suggest that even large institutional real estate portfolio managers must consider
the illiquidity present in their portfolios and cannot assume that its effect will be diversified away.

Until the recent introduction of real estate futures on the Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME), there have been few opportunities
to manage house price risk. This paper examines whether house price risk can be effectively hedged in Las Vegas, one of the
CME contract cities. The analysis considers hedging from the viewpoint of real estate investment groups, mortgage portfolio
investors, builder/developers and individual homeowners. For investment groups and mortgage holders holding a mix of new and
existing home assets, CME futures would have reduced house price risk by more than 88% over the 1994–2006 period. Similarly,
homeowners implicitly hedging price volatility of existing homes also would have fared well over the sample period. However,
builder/developers worried about new home price appreciation would have been much less successful in managing their risk.
One important caveat, minimum variance hedge ratios change over time and may cause hedge performance to suffer.

This paper examines whether the mispricing of accruals documented in equity markets extends to bond markets. The paper finds
that corporate bonds of firms with high operating accruals underperform corporate bonds of firms with low operating accruals.
In the first year after portfolio formation, the underperformance is 115 basis points using an accrual measure that includes
capital investments and 93 basis points using an accrual measure that is based only on working capital investments. The Sharpe
ratios of the zero-investment bond accrual portfolios are comparable to those of the corresponding zero-investment stock accrual
portfolios. The results are also robust to risk adjustments based on both a factor model consisting of the Fama and French
(J. Financial Econ 33 (1993) 3) stock and bond market factors and a characteristics model based on bond ratings and duration. Cross-sectional Fama–MacBeth
regressions that use individual bond data and control for stock and bond issuances in addition to ratings and duration also
confirm the time-series portfolio findings. Overall, our results reveal an accrual anomaly among bonds similar to that observed
among stocks.

This article focuses on the investment practices and contract behavior of venture capitalists in relation to their portfolio
companies. Using a unique self-collected data set, we provide new evidence on the venture capital industry in Europe and the
United States. Important differences are identified between the two, particularly with respect to the use of convertible securities,
replacement of former management, stage financing, deal syndication, and duration of exit stage. The most striking difference
involves the use of convertible securities, which are used far less often in Europe than in the United States. These differences
suggest that European venture capitalists engage in less monitoring and thus adopt a more hands-off approach to their portfolio
companies as compared to US venture capitalists.

The Effect of Time-on-Market and Location on Search Costs and Anchoring: The Case of Single-Family Properties 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
Terrence M. Clauretie Paul D. Thistle 《The Journal of Real Estate Finance and Economics》2007,35(2):181-196
Regarding single-family residential properties purchased for investment (non-owner occupied) we examine whether out-of-state
buyers pay more than in-state buyers. We focus on the effects of search costs and anchoring. We use data on 2,828 Las Vegas
non-owner occupied (investor) residences, 40% of which are purchased by non-local investors. We find that the location of
the property affects the empirical results. Specifically, search cost and anchoring effects that appear significant when the
location of the property is ignored disappear when location is introduced as an independent variable.

This paper addresses the question of whether shares of public real estate companies should be treated as real estate or as
equity investments. Because theoretical considerations do not suffice for making such a classification, we empirically investigate
correlation structures and cointegration relationships of private and public real estate and equity markets for the United
States and the United Kingdom. Our results suggest that public real estate stocks show similarities to the general stock market
with regard to short-term return co-movements. For long-term investment horizons, the interdependence between direct and securitized
real estate is much stronger. However, in the latter case, real estate stocks substantially lead the private property markets.

Enterprise risk management in financial groups: analysis of risk concentration and default risk 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Nadine Gatzert Hato Schmeiser Stefan Schuckmann 《Financial Markets and Portfolio Management》2008,22(3):241-258
In financial groups, enterprise risk management is becoming increasingly important in controlling and managing the different
independent legal entities in the group. The aim of this paper is to assess and relate risk concentration and joint default
probabilities of the group’s legal entities in order to achieve a more comprehensive picture of a financial group’s risk situation.
We further examine the impact of the type of dependence structure on results by comparing linear and nonlinear dependencies
using different copula concepts under certain distributional assumptions. Our results show that even if financial groups with
different dependence structures do have the same risk concentration factor, joint default probabilities of different sets
of subsidiaries can vary tremendously.

This paper analyzes long-term comovements between hedge fund strategies and traditional asset classes using multivariate cointegration
methodology. Since cointegrated assets are tied together over the long run, a portfolio consisting of these assets will have
lower long-term volatility. Thus, if the presence of cointegration lowers uncertainty, risk-averse investors should prefer
assets that are cointegrated. Long-term (passive) investors can benefit from the knowledge of cointegrating relationships,
while the built-in error correction mechanism allows active asset managers to anticipate short-run price movements. The empirical
results indicate there is a long-run relationship between specific hedge fund strategies and traditional financial assets.
Thus, the benefits of different hedge fund strategies are much less than suggested by correlation analysis and portfolio optimization.
However, certain strategies combined with specific stock market segments offer portfolio managers adequate diversification
potential, especially in the framework of tactical asset allocation.

Spectral risk measures (SRMs) are risk measures that take account of user risk-aversion, but to date there has been little
guidance on the choice of utility function underlying them. This paper addresses this issue by examining alternative approaches
based on exponential and power utility functions. A number of problems are identified with both types of spectral risk measure.
The general lesson is that users of spectral risk measures must be careful to select utility functions that fit the features
of the particular problems they are dealing with, and should be especially careful when using power SRMs.

Return enhancement trading strategies for size based portfolios 总被引:1,自引:1,他引:0
Recent theoretical work suggests that definitions of market efficiency that allow for the possibility of time-varying risk-premia
will generally lead to return sign predictability. Consistent with this theory, we show that a logit model based on the lagged
value of the market risk premium is useful for successfully predicting the return sign for CRSP small decile portfolio returns,
but not large ones. We additionally employ this model in market timing simulations of micro-cap mutual funds in which investment
can actually be made. The results indicate that a market-timing strategy based on our return-sign forecasting model outperforms
a buy-and-hold strategy for 13 of 14 micro-cap funds studied. On average, the buy-and-hold strategy produces an average compound
return of 11.98% per annum versus an average of 16.60% for the market-timing strategy. Nevertheless, trading restrictions
make the return-sign forecasting model more practical to employ by the micro-cap fund portfolio manager rather than the individual
fund investor.

This paper develops a theory of a firm’s hedging decision with endogenous leverage. In contrast to previous models in the
literature, our framework is based on less restrictive distributional assumptions and allows a closed-form analytical solution
to the joint optimization problem. Using anecdotal evidence of greater benefits of risk management for firms selling “credence
goods” or products that involve long-term relationships, we prove that those optimally leveraged firms, which face more convex
indirect bankruptcy cost functions, will choose higher hedge ratios. Moreover, we suggest a new approach to test this relationship
empirically.

This paper identifies and corrects a typographical error in Black and Cox (J Finance 31:351–367, 1976). While the typographical error is seemingly trivial, the magnitude of the pricing error that it generates can be substantial.

Is the January effect still alive in the futures markets? 总被引:1,自引:1,他引:0
The January effect concerns the fact that small capitalization stocks have historically outperformed large capitalized stocks
in January. We analyze evidence as to whether this anomaly can be exploited in the futures markets as a speculative investment
or to add risk-adjusted value to portfolio performance. We find that the January effect is still alive in the futures markets
on the Value Line minus S&P 500 spread trade, but that the marginal liquidity of the Value Line stock index futures contract
has made it very risky to exploit the effect. Historically from 1982/3 to 2004/5, the trade has been profitable. This anomaly
was also exploitable through a Russell 2000 minus S&P 500 spread trade from 1993/4 to 2004/5.

We condition security price reactions to quarterly earnings announcements on whether firms disclose supplementary balance
sheet and/or cashflow information that can be used to estimate the consequences of earnings management. Disclosure of supplementary
information is voluntary, and thus, we consider the possibility that firms that disclose balance sheet and/or cashflow information
differ systematically from firms that do not disclose. Results indicate that investors discount evidence of earnings management
at the disclosure date when supplementary information is disclosed. Such results indicate more informed earnings interpretations
of quarterly earnings when firms provide balance sheet and/or cashflow information concurrently.

This article analyzes the phenomenon of performance persistence in Spanish equity pension plans between 1999 and 2006 to determine
whether plans with higher performance in one period continue obtaining higher performance in the future. It also aims to determine
the influence of past performance on investor behavior in order to examine whether money and investor flows of these portfolios
are affected by past performance. The results reveal the existence of short-term performance persistence and a statistically
significant relationship between historical returns and investment flows.
