ZK: To my children Mirabelle and Maximilien Kakushadze WY: To my parents Albert and Ribena Yu AbstractWe give a complete algorithm and source code for constructing general multifactor risk models (for equities) via any combination of style factors, principal components (betas) and/or industry factors. For short horizons we employ the Russian-doll risk model construction to obtain a nonsingular factor covariance matrix. This generalizes the heterotic risk model construction to include arbitrary non-industry risk factors as well as industry risk factors with generic "weights". The aim of sharing our proprietary know-how with the investment community is to encourage organic risk model building. The presentation is intended to be essentially self-contained and pedagogical. So, stop wasting money and complaining, start building risk models and enjoy! 4

“…For instance, the classical capital asset pricing model (CAPM) predicts portfolio separation (that all agents should hold the market portfolio), while Merton's (1973) continuous-time model and Connor's (1984) equilibrium version of APT both predict k-fund separation.…”

Prices and Portfolio Choices in Financial Markets: Theory, Econometrics, Experiments

2007

Many tests of asset-pricing models address only the pricing predictions, but these pricing predictions rest on portfolio choice predictions that seem obviously wrong. This paper suggests a new approach to asset pricing and portfolio choices based on unobserved heterogeneity. This approach yields the standard pricing conclusions of classical models but is consistent with very different portfolio choices. Novel econometric tests link the price and portfolio predictions and take into account the general equilibrium effects of sample-size bias. This paper works through the approach in detail for the case of the classical capital asset pricing model (CAPM), producing a model called CAPM + . When these econometric tests are applied to data generated by large-scale laboratory asset markets that reveal both prices and portfolio choices, CAPM + is not rejected.

“…First consider models in which both v i and y i are absent. For example, Ross (1976), Connor(1984), discuss the diversi¯cation of the idiosyncratic components u 0 a i by essentially setting out conditions under which each u 0 a i is zero for each i: The factors then reduce to S with no necessity of invoking a law of large numbers. The associated conditions on preferences and asset returns are however quite strong.…”

Terms of use: Documents in EconStor may AbstractInvestors in equilibrium are modeled as facing investor speci¯c risks across the space of assets. Personalized asset pricing models re°ect these risks. Averaging across the pool of investors we obtain a market asset pricing model that re°ects market risk exposures. It is observed on invoking a law of large numbers applied to an in¯nite population of investors that many personally relevant risk considerations can be eliminated from the market asset pricing model. Examples illustrating the e®ects of undiversi¯ed labor income and taste speci¯c price indices are provided. Suggestions for future work on asset pricing include a need to focus on identifying and explaining investor speci¯c risk exposures.
