Investment management which is worth USD 70 trillion can be seen like a fruit basket. The job of the fund manager was to select the fruits from the market and sell it to the investor. Global pensions are a part of this pool. Despite the important role fund managers play, there is a lot of...

John Rae's inter-temporal choices explained the statistical nature of human behavior in 1834. However, despite the subject's insight in the objectiveness of behavior, inter-temporal choices remains a peripheral science. This paper takes a sequential approach to question how inter-temporal...

There is no disagreement regarding the statistics of mean reversion. What goes up comes down and vice versa. Campbell and Shiller (1988) said that the simple theory of mean reversion was basically right. Fama and French (1989) also suggest that valuation ratios forecast five-year returns with...

Information is an assumption for modern finance. The Efficient Market Hypothesis uses information to back its case of efficiency. The EMH case is weak, but as Martin Swell (2011) explains, until a flawed hypothesis is replaced by better hypothesis, criticism is of limited value. This paper...

In finance, arbitrage is an essential framework to understand asset pricing. However, the study of anomalies also called as premiums, which are not arbitrageable has led to a debate regarding whether markets are efficient in correcting price imbalances or is inefficiency a reality. This is why...

Natural systems witness reversion and divergence simultaneously across different periods of time. This paper tests the performance proxy as mentioned in a previous paper on the ‘Mean Reversion Framework' for Markov's transition probabilities. The framework exhibits a stable pattern when tested...

Stationarity tests are used to detect mean reversion in a certain dataset. Mean Reversion processes suggest a non-random behavior in a time series (Lo and MacKinley, 1988). Previous research has focused on studying mean reversion at stock price level (Debondt and Thaler, 1985; Lindemann et al.,...

The original work by Galton on mean reversion in 1886 emphasized relative before absolute, talked about the relation of the variable with the sample average, pointed out the balance between convergence and divergence and showcased cross-domain expression of mean reversion. Though mean reversion...

In their 1985 paper ‘Does the stock market overeact?', DeBondt and Thaler explained the idea of mean reversion and how it leads to the Loser's portfolio of 3 years outperforming the Winner's portfolio of the same time. Based on mean reversion, this paper illustrates a new stock selection and...

This paper applies performance cycles to the top 100 stocks of Toronto Stock Exchange. The idea of time cyclicality and performance cycles has been explained as a method of market cyclicality in the following academic papers and published literature:1: The Divergence Cycles02: The BRIC Model...
