In this note, we develop a simple asset pricing model using the relative return to benchmark. The makes no assumption on free-risk securities, equilibrium conditions, utility functions, dif...

many performance measures, such as the classical sharpe ratio have difficulty in evaluating the performance of investment companies whose return distributions are skewed. common causes for skew ness are the use of options in the portfolio or superior market timing skills of the portfolio managers. in this article, we examine the ability of the downside risk and the upside potential ratio (upr) ...

Reward-risk ratio (RR) is a very important stock market definition. In order to capture the situation that the investor does not have complete information on the distribution of the underlying uncertainty, people extend RR model to distributionally robust reward-risk ratio (DRR) model. In this paper, we study the DRR problem where the ambiguity on the distributions is defined through Wassertein...

Capital Asset Pricing Model is widely used for estimating systematic risk in the form of Beta. Present study an attempt to estimate top 10 companies SENSEX, index Bombay Stock Exchange. For purpose monthly prices, converted simple return, selected and SENSEX 11 calendar years have been analysed. free return on 91 days Treasury Bills has considered. Results show that Beta 7 out considered, great...

This paper studies optimal access pricing for natural monopoly networks with large sunk costs and uncertain revenues. Using techniques from the option pricing literature, we show that the optimal access price corresponds to a risk-free form of the Efficiency Component Pricing Rule (ECPR), that is, where the opportunity cost is based on the risk free rate of return. We also show that at levels o...

Time changes of return, inefficiency studies performed and presence of effective factors on share return rate are caused development modern and intelligent methods in estimation and evaluation of share return in stock companies. Aim of this research is prediction of return using financial variables with artificial neural network approach. Therefore, the statistical population of this study incl...

We derive the optimal portfolio choice for an investor who behaves according to Cumulative Prospect Theory. The study is done in a oneperiod economy with one risk-free asset and one risky asset, and the reference point corresponds to the terminal wealth arising when the entire initial wealth is invested into the risk-free asset. When it exists, the optimal holding is a function of a generalized...

markowitz, in his portfolio selection theory, stated that investors select their portfolios according to two criteria of risk and return. accordingly, he presented his mathematical model. one of the criticisms of this model is that while investors, practically, consider different criteria in forming their portfolios, it only considers the return mean and return standard deviation. liquidity is ...
