Modelling fundamental analysis in portfolio selection
通过连续时间均值方差模型推导出能观察基本面信息的投资者的评估比率,发现应选择错误定价波动大、基本面波动小、均值回复快且股息高的证券,模型表现优于实际顶尖基金经理。
We derive a closed-form appraisal/information ratio of the investors who are able to observe some information about security fundamentals, by solving a simple instantaneous mean-variance portfolio choice problem in a continuous-time framework. Both analytical and numerical results suggest that investors should choose securities with a more volatile mispricing, a less volatile fundamental, a higher mean-reverting speed and a larger dividend. Our model calibrated with realistic parameters easily outperforms top-percentile portfolio managers in reality, which suggests that the implementation of fundamental analysis may be impeded in practice due to limits of arbitrage. Our paper is a first, necessarily simple, step towards filling the gap of modelling fundamental analysis in portfolio selection.
