1 Financial Intermediaries and the Cross-Section of Asset Returns Tobias Adrian - Federal Reserve Bank of New York 1 Erkko Etula - Goldman Sachs Tyler Muir - Kellogg School of Management May, The views expressed in this presentation are not necessarily those of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York or the Federal Reserve System.

2 What do we nd? Factor Pricing Model: Cross-Section of Expected Returns I E [R i ] r = β i,f λ f = risk x risk premium I Single factor, broker-dealer leverage, explains expected returns across assets I Factor prices size, book-to-market, momentum, bonds, as well / better than Fama-French + momentum I Motivation: theories of intermediaries and asset pricing I De-leveraging measures bad times for intermediaries

3 Realized Mean Return Single leverage factor and the cross-section of returns Size & Book-to-Market, Momentum, Bonds, estimated simultaneously S1B5 S3B5 Mom10 S1B4 S2B3 S2B4 S3B4 S1B3 S1B2 S3B2 S3B3 S4B4 S4B5 Mom S4B3 S2B2 9 Mom 8 S5B5 S4B1S5B2 S4B2 S5B4 S5B3 S5B1 S3B1Mom Mom Mom 3 Mom 4 76 S2B1 Mom 5 Mom y 2 3yr 3 4yr 4 5yr 1 2yr S1B1 0 1yr S2B5 2 4 Mom Predicted Expected Return

5 Traditional Asset Pricing: Prices determined by risk faced by representative household I Classic theory: SDF is proportional to aggregate consumption risk (CCAPM) or aggregate market risk (CAPM) I Assumptions: everyone participates in all markets, no transactions costs, agents can compute dynamic portfolio strategies, optimize continuously, know return moments I But: I there is lots of evidence of frictions in trading; market segmentation; ine cient household behavior

6 This Paper: Intermediaries t classic assumptions Prices determined by risk faced by representative intermediary I Assumptions about intermediaries: participate in all markets, no transactions costs, can follow dynamic complicated strategy, optimize continuously, know return moments I Expect focusing on intermediaries will price large class of assets (He and Krishnamurthy (2010)) I Leverage of broker-dealers measures risk faced by intermediary: consistent w/ theory of intermediaries and asset prices

7 Intermediary Asset Pricing Leverage of broker-dealers measures risk faced by intermediary: High leverage = good times for intermediary I Brunnermeier Pedersen (2009) I Intermediaries face funding constraints I E t [R t+1 ] R f = cov t (φ t+1, R t+1 ), where φ =funding / margin constraint. Funding liquidity risk. I I φ is inversely related to leverage: High leverage implies low φ Leverage measures marginal value of wealth I Literature: Gromb Vayanos (2002), Brunnermeier Pedersen (2009), Geanakoplos (2010), He and Krishnamurthy (2010), Garleanu Pedersen (2010), Danielson, Shin, Zigrand (2010)

18 Robustness Checks: I We show pricing results for the individual cross sections: 25 size and book-to-market, 25 size and momentum, and Treasury bonds I Prices of risk are very stable, pricing better than the benchmark models in each of the cross sections I The ndings are robust to varying the starting date I Works well excluding nancial crisis

27 Conclusion A single factor, broker-dealer leverage, can explain a large set of asset returns I Single factor competes with leading 4 factor equity pricing model and bond pricing model I Economically meaningful: measures intermediary risk I Think about risks faced by intermediaries for asset pricing.
