Capital-Market Efficiency Case Study
1. What is capital-market efficiency? What are its implications for investment performance in general? What are the implications for fund managers, if the market exhibits characteristics of strong, semi-strong, or weak efficiency?
Capital-market efficiency evolved from the PhD in the 1960s dissertation by Eugene Fama. The Efficient Market Hypothesis, states that at any given time and in a liquid market, the prices of securities fully reflect all the available information. EMH exists to varying degrees of weak, semi-strong and strong, which involves the market price of non-market information. The theory is that since the market is efficient, the current price reflects all the information and trying to outperform the market is inherently a chance, …show more content…
In its view, the price of securities already contains available market and non-market public information. It concludes that excess returns cannot be achieved through a fundamental analysis. Investors buy stocks after the information is released, and investors can not benefit from the market by trading new information. If all the published information is already reflected in the price of a stock, there will nothing is gain for you from the financial statements or from the fund manager. So the fund managers need to pay attention for the investment, the fund managers need to focus on the market …show more content…
What are market anomalies and how do they come about? Do they support or refute the EMH? Explain any TWO (2) of the market anomalies.
Market anomalies are market models that appear to lead to abnormal returns, and because some of these models are based on information in financial reports, market anomalies pose a challenge to the semi-strong form of EMH, suggesting that fundamental analysis does have some implications for individual investors the value of.
Abnormality is a strange or unusual phenomenon in a non-investment world. In financial markets, anomalies refer to situations in which a security or portfolio of securities violates the notion of an efficient market, and the security prices are said to reflect all available information at any point in time.
With the continuous release and rapid dissemination of new information, sometimes an inefficient market is difficult to achieve or even difficult to sustain. There are many market anomalies; some disappear at one time and others continue to be
