Keynes the Stock Market Investor: A Quantitative Analysis
对凯恩斯25年的投资记录进行定量分析,发现其早期表现不佳,但1930年代后转向自下而上的选股策略,业绩改善,并揭示了股票投资的历史发展。
Abstract The consensus view of the influential economist John Maynard Keynes is that he was a stellar investor. We provide an extensive quantitative appraisal of his performance over a quarter century and present detailed analysis of his archived trading records. His top-down approach initially generated disappointing returns with no evidence of any market-timing ability. However, from the early 1930s his performance improved as he evolved into a bottom-up stock picker with substantial active risk and pronounced size and value tilts. Our reconstruction of Keynes’s stock trading provides a unique record of realized performance and sheds light on how equity investing developed historically.
