  1. Evaluating Market Risk Factors in Positive and Negative World Markets Buhdy Bok Frank Liu Jeff Lu Brad Newcomer Ron Yee

  2. Agenda • Hypothesis • Overview • Analysis • Applications • Next Steps

  3. Hypothesis • Country market risk differ depending upon market conditions • Skewness is an important factor in evaluating country market risk

  4. Overview • CAPM assumes an average beta • Volatility varies in different market conditions • Betas vary depending upon market conditions • CAPM assumes returns are normally distributed • Returns are not generally symmetrical • Returns typically exhibit positive or negative skewness

  5. Data Source • Compared Monthly Returns - Equity Markets from 37 Countries vs. World Market (MSCI Indices) • 16 Developed Nations • 21 Emerging Markets

  6. Diversion from Standard CAPM • We want to split the CAPM Beta into 2 Betas • Beta+ when world market return is positive • Beta- when world market return is negative r   =   α   +   β( Rm - Rf ) + error to r   =   α   +   β+( Rm+ - Rf ) +   β-( Rm- - Rf ) + error

  7. Coskewness Regression • Coskewness: The amount of skewness that an asset adds to the diversified portfolio (systematic skewness) r   =   α   +   β1( RM ) + β2( RM )2 + error

  8. Application of the Model • Results demonstrate the significance of separate betas for up/down markets • A simple, intuitive refinement of the CAPM • Incorporating this concept into tactical allocation decisions will generate excess returns

  9. Application of the Model • Requires a predictive model to forecast up/down markets • New procedure: • Create a predictive model to forecast +/- market signals • Calculate the appropriate correlation matrix • Run optimization model (either up/down) • Use output to determine asset allocations

  10. Application of the Model

  11. Application of the Model

  12. Next Steps • Run an out-of-sample test of the model • Parse market risk over more buckets • Examine performance of market risk factor using different parsing criteria • e.g., recession vs. expansion • Goal: create a more accurate pricing model that allows the market risk factor to be more dynamic over a range of market conditions
