The Advantage of the Four-Factor Model over Current Evaluation Techniques A fund’s investment performance is measured by its risk-adjusted return (alpha) which is the return of the fund minus the return of the fund’s benchmark. A fund’s perfect benchmark is a portfolio that (1) is fully diversified and (2) has precisely the same exposures to sources of risk (risk factors) in stock market returns as the fund. Forty years of capital markets’ research indicates that there are four risk factors

Part1 7. Why are the following “effects” considered efficient market anomalies? Are there rational explanations for any of these effects? a. P/E effect. P/E effect can be considered as efficient market anomalies that can’t be explained by CAPM. If two firms have the same expected earnings‚ the riskier stock will sell at a lower price and lower P/E ratio. Thus the low P/E stock will have higher expected returns. P/E acts as a useful additional descriptor of risk‚ and will be associated with

He describes this system as Alpha‚ Beta‚ Gamma‚ Delta‚ and Epsilon. Gammas‚ Deltas‚ and Epsilons are the lower class‚ they serve the higher classes which are Alpha and Beta. Between Alpha and Beta‚ Alpha is the highest. In Aldous Huxley’s book Brave New World he uses many points of Marxist theory. In the novel Brave New World by Aldous Huxley‚ he writes about a society

hemoglobin A‚ has four protein chains—two alpha globin and two beta globin. The two major types of thalassemia‚ alpha and beta‚ are named after defects in these protein chains. Four genes (two from each parent) are needed to make enough alpha globin protein chains. Alpha thalassemia trait occurs if one or two of the four genes are missing. If more than two genes are missing‚ moderate to severe anemia occurs. The most severe form of alpha thalassemia is called alpha thalassemia major or hydrops fetalis
