Study Notes
Market Efficiency and Behavioral Finance
- Market efficiency's impact on share price changes: Price changes in efficient markets are primarily due to new information, not past performance or insider knowledge.
- Regulatory impact on market efficiency: Regulations restricting certain investors might hinder market efficiency.
- Short selling and market efficiency: Allowing short selling generally increases market efficiency.
- Regulations contributing to market efficiency: Regulations targeting insider trading and non-public information usually increase market efficiency.
- Regulations impeding market efficiency: Restrictions on trader activity (e.g., short selling) can hinder market efficiency.
- Intrinsic vs. market value: In efficient markets, intrinsic value and market value should be roughly equal.
- Undervalued asset characteristics: An undervalued asset's intrinsic value is higher than its market value.
- Market value of an undervalued asset: It's currently worth less than its intrinsic value.
- Efficient Market Hypothesis (EMH): In the weak-form of EMH, prices reflect all past market data, in the semi strong form, all publicly available information, and in the strong form, all public and private information.
Portfolio Management Strategies
- Passive vs. active trading: In semi-strong efficient markets, passive strategies are likely to underperform active strategies.
- Risk-adjusted returns of passive vs. active strategies: In semi-strong efficient markets, passively managed portfolios generally have lower risk-adjusted returns relative to actively managed portfolios.
- Analyst assumptions about markets for different strategies: Technical analysts think markets are weak-form inefficient while fundamental analysts feel markets are semi-strong-form inefficient.
- Portfolio management inefficiencies: Active strategies in markets perceived to be weak-form-efficient, but semi-strong-form inefficient, are more likely to generate abnormal returns.
Behavioral Biases
- Jordan's demonstrated biases: Loss aversion, self-attribution, and possible illusion of control biases.
- Behavioral biases impacting portfolio performance: These biases may affect investment decisions and lead to poor outcomes.
- Recognizing and mitigating behavioral biases: Effective portfolio management requires awareness of and strategies to mitigate potential biases.
Observations and Implications
- Portfolio concentration: High concentration in specific sectors could indicate potential risks.
- Trading volume decline: Reduced trading volume could signal market inefficiencies or reduced investor participation.
