46 Lecture 06 Mean-Variance & CAPM (46) Pricing Kernel - Examples Example 1: S = 3, π s = 1 3 x 1 = 1,0,0, x 2 = 0,1,1 and p = 1 3, 2 3 Then m = 1,1,1 is the unique pricing kernel. Example 2: x 1 = 1,0,0, x 2 = 0,1,0, p = 1 3, 2 3 Then m = 1,2,0 is the unique pricing kernel.
47 Lecture 06 Mean-Variance & CAPM (47) Pricing Kernel Uniqueness If a state price density exists, there exists a unique pricing kernel. If dim X = S (markets are complete), there are exactly m equations and m unknowns If dim X < S, (markets may be incomplete) For any state price density (=SDF) m and any z X E m m z = 0 m = m m + m m is the projection of m on X Complete markets m = m (SDF=state price density)
48 Lecture 06 Mean-Variance & CAPM (48) Expectations Kernel k An expectations kernel is a vector k X Such that E z = E k z for each z X Example S = 3, π s = 1 3, x 1 = 1,0,0, x 2 = 0,1,0 Then the unique k = 1,1,0 If π 0, there exists a unique expectations kernel. Let I = 1,, 1 then for any z X E I k z = 0 k is the projection of I on X k = I if bond can be replicated (e.g. if markets are complete)
49 Lecture 06 Mean-Variance & CAPM (49) Mean Variance Frontier Definition 1: z X is in the mean variance frontier if there exists no z X such that E z = E z, q z = q z and var z < var z Definition 2: Let E be the space generated by m and k Decompose z = z ε + ε with z E E and ε E Hence, E ε = E εk = 0, q ε = E εm = 0 cov ε, z ε = E εz ε = 0, since ε E var z = var z ε + var ε (price of ε is zero, but positive variance) z is in mean variance frontier ) z 2 E. Every z E is in mean variance frontier.
50 Lecture 06 Mean-Variance & CAPM (50) Frontier Returns Frontier returns are the returns of frontier payoffs with non-zero prices. [Note: R indicates Gross return] If z = αm + βk then αq m R z = αq m + βq k k R k = q k = k E m R m = m m q m = E m m λ R m + αq m βq k + βq k 1 λ R k graphically: payoffs with price of p=1.

54 Lecture 06 Mean-Variance & CAPM (54) Frontier Returns (if agent is risk-neutral) If k = αm, frontier returns R k Ifk αm, frontier returns can be written as: R λ = R k + λ R m R k Expectations and variance are E R λ = E R k + λ E R m E R k var R λ = = var R k + 2λcov R k, R m R k + λ 2 var R m R k If risk-free asset exists, these simplify to: E R λ = R f + λ E R m R f = R f ± σ R λ E R m R f σ R m var R λ = λ 2 var[r m ], σ R λ = λ σ R m
55 Lecture 06 Mean-Variance & CAPM (55) Minimum Variance Portfolio Take FOC w.r.t. λ of var R λ = var R k + 2λcov R k, R m R k + λ 2 var R m R k Hence, MVP has return of R k + λ 0 R m R k λ 0 = cov R k, R m R k var R m R k
56 Illustration of MVP FIN501 Asset Pricing Lecture 06 Mean-Variance & CAPM (56) Expected return of MVP X = R 2 and S = 3 (1,1,1) Minimum standard deviation
57 Lecture 06 Mean-Variance & CAPM (57) Mean-Variance Efficient Returns Definition: A return is mean-variance efficient if there is no other return with same variance but greater expectation. Mean variance efficient returns are frontier returns with E R λ E R λ0 If risk-free asset can be replicated Mean variance efficient returns correspond to λ 0. Pricing kernel (portfolio) is not mean-variance efficient, since E R m = E m < 1 E m 2 E m = R f
58 Lecture 06 Mean-Variance & CAPM (58) Zero-Covariance Frontier Returns Take two frontier portfolios with returns R λ = R k + λ R m R k and R μ = R k + μ R m R k cov R μ, R λ = var R k + λ + μ cov R k, R m R k + λμvar R m R k The portfolios have zero co-variance if var R k + λcov R k, R m R k μ = cov R k, R m R k + λvar R m R k For all λ λ 0, μ exists μ = 0 if risk-free bond can be replicated

61 Lecture 06 Mean-Variance & CAPM (61) Beta Pricing Frontier Returns (are on linear subspace). Hence R β = R μ + β R λ R μ Consider any asset with payoff x j It can be decomposed in x j = x j ε + ε i q x j = q x j ε and E x j = E x j ε, since ε E Return of x j is R j = R j ε + ε j q x j Using above and assuming λ λ 0 and μ is ZC-portfolio of λ, R j = R μ + β j R λ R μ + ε j q x j
62 Lecture 06 Mean-Variance & CAPM (62) Beta Pricing Taking expectations and deriving covariance E R j = E R μ + β j E R λ E R μ cov R λ, R j = β j var R λ β j = cov R λ,r j var R λ Since R λ ε j q x j If risk-free asset can be replicated, beta-pricing equation simplifies to E R j = R f + β j E R λ R f Problem: How to identify frontier returns
63 Lecture 06 Mean-Variance & CAPM (63) Capital Asset Pricing Model CAPM = market return is frontier return Derive conditions under which market return is frontier return Two periods: 0,1. Endowment: individual w 1 i at time 1, aggregate w 1 = w 1 X + w 1 Y, where w 1 X, w 1 Y are orthogonal and w 1 X is the orthogonal projection of w 1 on X. The market payoff is w 1 X X Assume q w 1 0, let R mkt = w X 1 X, and assume that q w 1 R mkt is not the minimum variance return.
64 Lecture 06 Mean-Variance & CAPM (64) Capital Asset Pricing Model If R 0 is the frontier return that has zero covariance with R mkt then, for every security j, E R j = E R 0 + β j E R mkt E R 0 with β j = cov R j,r mkt var R mkt If a risk free asset exists, equation becomes, E[R j ] = R f + β j E R mkt R f N.B. first equation always hold if there are only two assets.

Restricted short-sales and other restrictions International assets & currency risk How does the market portfolio change over time? Empirical evidence More in dynamic models

72 Lecture 06 Mean-Variance & CAPM (72) MV Portfolio Selection in Real Life An investor seeking to use mean-variance portfolio construction has to Estimate N means, N variances, N*(N-1)/2 co-variances Estimating means For any partition of [0,T] with N points ( t=t/n): E r = 1 1 N Δt N i=1 r i Δt = p T p 0 T Knowing the first and last price is sufficient (in log prices)
73 Lecture 06 Mean-Variance & CAPM (73) Estimating Means Let X k denote the logarithmic return on the market, with k = 1,, n over a period of length h The dynamics to be estimated are: X k = μ Δ + σ Δ ε k where the ε k are i.i.d. standard normal random variables. The standard estimator for the expected logarithmic mean rate of return is: μ = 1 h 1 n X k The mean and variance of this estimator n E μ = 1 h E X k = 1 n μ Δ = μ 1 h Var μ = 1 h 2 Var nx k = 1 1 h 2 n σ2 Δ = σ2 h where h is length of observation n number of observations Δ = n/h The accuracy of the estimator depends only upon the total length of the observation period (h), and not upon the number of observations (n).
74 Lecture 06 Mean-Variance & CAPM (74) Estimating Variances Consider the following estimator: σ 2 = 1 h i=1 n 2 X k The mean and variance of this estimator: Var σ 2 E σ 2 n = 1 h i=1 n = 1 h 2 Var i=1 X k 2 E X k 2 n = 1 h 2 i=1 = 1 h n μ2 Δ 2 + σ 2 Δ = σ 2 + μ 2 h n Var X k 2 = n h 2 E X k 4 E X k 2 2 = 2 σ4 n + 4 μ2 h n 2 The estimator is biased b/c we did not subtract out the expected return from each realization. Magnitude of the bias declines as n increases. For a fixed h, the accuracy of the variance estimator can be improved by sampling the data more frequently.
75 Estimating variances: Theory vs. Practice FIN501 Asset Pricing Lecture 06 Mean-Variance & CAPM (75) For any partition of [0, T] with N points (Δt = T/N): N Var r = 1 N i=1 r i Δt E r 2 σ 2 as N Theory: Observing the same time series at progressively higher frequencies increases the precision of the estimate. Practice: Over shorter interval increments are non-gaussian Volatility is time-varying (GARCH, SV-models) Market microstructure noise
76 Estimating covariances: Theory vs. Practice FIN501 Asset Pricing Lecture 06 Mean-Variance & CAPM (76) In theory, the estimation of covariances shares the features of variance estimation. In practice: Difficult to obtain synchronously observed time-series -> may require interpolation, which affects the covariance estimates. The number of covariances to be estimated grows very quickly, such that the resulting covariance matrices are unstable (check condition numbers!). Shrinkage estimators (Ledoit and Wolf, 2003, Honey, I Shrunk the Covariance Matrix )
77 Lecture 06 Mean-Variance & CAPM (77) Unstable Portfolio Weights Are optimal weights statistically different from zero? Properly designed regression yields portfolio weights Statistical tests for significance of weight Example: Britton-Jones (1999) for international portfolio Fully hedged USD Returns Period: countries Results Weights vary significantly across time and in the cross section Standard errors on coefficients tend to be large
78 Lecture 06 Mean-Variance & CAPM (78) Britton-Jones (1999) weights t-stats weights t-stats weights t-stats Australia Austria Belgium Canada Denmark France Germany Italy Japan UK US
79 Lecture 06 Mean-Variance & CAPM (79) Black-Litterman Appraoch Since portfolio weights are very unstable, we need to discipline our estimates somehow Our current approach focuses only on historical data Priors Unusually high (or low) past return may not (on average) earn the same high (or low) return going forward Highly correlated sectors should have similar expected returns A good deal in the past (i.e. a good realized return relative to risk) should not persist if everyone is applying mean-variance optimization. Black Litterman Approach Begin with CAPM prior Add views on assets or portfolios Update estimates using Bayes rule
80 Lecture 06 Mean-Variance & CAPM (80) Black-Litterman Model: Priors Suppose the returns of N risky assets (in vector/matrix notation) are r N(μ, Σ) CAPM: The equilibrium risk premium on each asset is given by: Π = γ Σ w eq γ is the investors coefficient of risk aversion. w eq are the equilibrium (i.e. market) portfolio weights. The investor is assumed to start with the following Bayesian prior (with imprecision): μ = Π + ε eq where ε eq N 0, τ Σ The precision of the equilibrium return estimates is assumed to be proportional to the variance of the returns. τ is a scaling parameter
81 Lecture 06 Mean-Variance & CAPM (81) Black-Litterman Model: Views Investor views on a single asset affect many weights. Portfolio views Investor views regarding the performance of K portfolios (e.g. each portfolio can contain only a single asset) P: K x N matrix with portfolio weights Q: K x 1 vector of views regarding the expected returns of these portfolios Investor views are assumed to be imprecise: P μ = Q + ε v where ε v N(0, Ω) Without loss of generality, Ω is assumed to be a diagonal matrix ε eq and ε v are assumed to be independent
82 Lecture 06 Mean-Variance & CAPM (82) Black-Litterman Model: Posterior Bayes rule: f θ x = f(θ, x) f x = f x θ f(θ) f(x) Posterior distribution: If X 1, X 2 are normally distributed as: X 1 N μ 1 Σ X 2 μ, 11 Σ 12 2 Σ 21 Σ 22 Then, the conditional distribution is given by X 1 X 2 = x N μ 1 + Σ 12 Σ 1 22 x μ 2, Σ 11 Σ 12 Σ 1 22 Σ 21
83 Lecture 06 Mean-Variance & CAPM (83) Black-Litterman Model: Posterior The Black-Litterman formula for the posterior distribution of expected returns E R Q = τ Σ 1 + P Ω 1 P 1 τ Σ 1 Π + P Ω 1 Q var R Q = τ Σ 1 + P Ω 1 P 1
84 Lecture 06 Mean-Variance & CAPM (84) Black Litterman: 2-asset Example Suppose you have a view on the equally weighted portfolio 1 2 μ μ 2 = q + ε v Then E R Q = τ Σ Ω 1 τ Σ 1 Π + q 2Ω var R Q = τ Σ Ω 1
85 Lecture 06 Mean-Variance & CAPM (85) Advantages of Black-Litterman Returns are adjusted only partially toward the investor s views using Bayesian updating Recognizes that views may be due to estimation error Only highly precise/confident views are weighted heavily. Returns are modified in way that is consistent with economic priors Highly correlated sectors have returns modified in the same direction. Returns can be modified to reflect absolute or relative views. Resulting weight are reasonable and do not load up on estimation error.
