1/ Value Return Predictability Across Asset Classes and Commonalities in Risk Premia (Yara, Boons, Tamoni)

"Returns to value in equities, industries, commodities, currencies, bonds, and stock indexes are predictable by their respective value spreads."

papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cf… Image
2/ Value measures:

B/M (market values updated monthly; financials and small stocks excluded)

Industry-adjusted B/M

Negative of five-year spot return (commodities, bonds)
Five-year change in ten-year yield (bonds)

Five-year change in relative PPP (currencies) ImageImage
3/ "Value spreads in stocks, industries, commodities and equity indexes correlate strongly and positively with each other.

"The first PC explains 51% of total variation. The correlation between a simple across-asset-class average of the value spreads and the first PC is 0.95." ImageImageImageImage
4/ "The value spread seems to predict value returns. The information takes longer than a month to fully materialize.

"Conditional variation in value premia is more similar across asset classes than is the unconditional value premium."

(Sharpe ratios are monthly, not annualized) ImageImageImageImage
5/ "The coefficient on the value spread decreases as time passes but remains positive and marginally significant up to about four-and-a-half years after portfolio formation.

"Results are not solely driven by the highly popularized value episodes from the late 1990s and 2008." ImageImageImage
6/ "Our results are not driven by the predictive relation between market returns and the value spread and thus a conditional CAPM.

"In line with this conclusion, the value spread is not a robust predictor of market returns in the pool of asset classes we study." ImageImage
7/ "Results suggest that information in the value spread can be used by investors to time value in the stock market. Moreover, this timing strategy is an attractive complement to an unconditional value strategy." Image
8/ "Investing in value in a typical asset class is only attractive when the value spread in that asset class is historically large.

"Strategies that rebalance less frequently than monthly are likely more attractive." Image
9/ "The value spread can be used to rotate value across asset classes in real time; this is attractive relative to a strategy that invests unconditionally in value in all asset classes. Thus, investing in value is most attractive in asset classes with the largest value spreads." ImageImage
10/ "Both the common component of the value spread as well as asset-class-specific components contain information about future value returns.

"The common component explains half of the variation in value spreads and an even larger share of the predictability of value returns." ImageImage
11/ "Common value is large when, in bad times, intermediaries' balance sheets get shocked or aggregate risk aversion is high.

"This conclusion holds true for changes as well: innovations in common value are driven positively by innovations in these state variables." ImageImageImage
12/ "We ask how much of the predictive ability of the common component of the value spread is captured by the part that is correlated with the risk proxies (the predicted value spread in the kitchen sink specification) and how much by the part that is orthogonal (the residual)." ImageImage
13/ "The equity value spread predicts returns about as well as the common component. When we exclude the two equity value returns from the test assets, the value spread remains marginally significant, but the fraction of explained variation drops considerably." Image
14/ "Common value is relatively more important in the recent subsample (post-1994). Common value is strongly associated with proxies for the risk of financial intermediaries, and financial intermediation has become progressively more important over time." Image
15/ "Common value return predictability suggests that expected value returns are countercyclical. Thus, the main source of common variation in value premia may be compensation for risk.

"On the contrary, both risk & mispricing contribute to the asset-class-specific components." Image

1/ Moneyball: The Art of Winning an Unfair Game (Michael Lewis)

"Baseball was at the center of a story about the possibilities—and limits—of reason. It showed how an unscientific culture responds (or fails to respond) to the scientific method." (p. xiv)

2/ "A small group of undervalued professional players & executives, many of whom had been rejected as unfit for the big leagues, turned themselves into one of the most successful franchises.

"How did one of the poorest teams, the Oakland Athletics, win so many games?" (p. xi)
3/ "Hitting statistics were abundant & had, for James, the powers of language. They were, in his Teutonic coinage, 'imagenumbers.' Literary material. When you read them, they called to mind pictures. He wrote... 'To get 191 hits in a season demands (or seems to) a consistency...

1/ Skewness and kurtosis

* Everything has excess kurtosis
* Unlike market returns, individual stocks aren't negatively skewed
* Option prices underestimate kurtosis and overestimate negative skewness
* Implied moments don't consistently predict stock returns
* Sell options?? Image
2/ Asset classes have fat tails, and most have negative skewness.

1/ Fact, Fiction, and Factor Investing (Aghassi, Asness, Fattouche, Moskowitz)

"We reference an extensive academic literature and perform simple but powerful analyses to address claims about factor investing."

Image
2/ #1. Fiction: Factors are Data-Mined with No Good Economic Story

"Value, momentum, carry, and defensive/quality pass the more stringent statistical tests.

"Many of the factor tests conducted in papers are on variations of a few central themes."




Image
Image
3/ "Value, momentum & defensive/quality applied to US individual stocks has a t-stat of 10.8. Data mining would take nearly a trillion random trials to find this.

"Applying those factors (+carry) across markets and asset classes gets a t-stat of >14."

1/ Happily Ever After? Cohabitation, Marriage, Divorce, and Happiness in Germany (Zimmermann, Easterlin)

"The formation of unions (separation or divorce) has a positive (negative) effect on life satisfaction. We also see a 'honeymoon period' effect."

researchgate.net/publication/49…
Image
2/ "The model's four terms describe different life stages for an individual who marries during the sample period. The intercept reflects the average life satisfaction of individuals in the baseline period [all noncohabiting years that are at least one year before marriage]."


Image
Image
Image
Image
3/ " 'How satisfied are you with your life, all things considered?' Responses are ranked on a scale from 0 (completely dissatisfied) to 10 (completely satisfied).

"We center life satisfaction scores around the annual mean of each population subsample in the original population."

1/ Short-sightedness, rates moves and a potential boost for value (Hanauer, Baltussen, Blitz, Schneider)

* Value spread remains wide
* Relationship between value and rates is not structural
* Extrapolative growth forecasts drive the value premium

robeco.com/en-int/insight…
Image
2/ "The valuation gap between cheap and expensive stocks remains extremely wide. This signals the potential for attractive returns going forward."


Image
Image
Image
Image
3/ "We observe a robust negative relationship between value returns and changes in the value spread.

"The intercept of ≈10% can be interpreted as a cleaner estimate of the value premium, given that it is purged of the time-varying effects of multiple expansions & compressions." Image
