Agency‐Based Asset Pricing and the Beta Anomaly

Abstract: I argue that delegated portfolio management can cause the equilibrium relation between CAPM beta and expected stock returns to become flat, instead of linearly positive, and propose an alternative to the widely used Fama and French (1993) 3‐factor asset pricing model which incorporates this agency effect. An empirical comparison of the two models shows that the agency‐based 3‐factor model is much better at explaining the performance of portfolios sorted on beta or volatility, and at least as good at explaining… Show more

“…Therefore, our analysis begins with the static CAPM, whose primary output is the expected return of an asset i at time t with the assumption that investors are risk averse and that the market is complete (see, e.g. Cortazar et al 2013;Blitz, 2014). Return on asset i and the market portfolios for indices may be expressed as R i,t = ln Pi,t Pi,t−1 where R i,t is the log return on asset i in period t, for instance a given value-weighted stock index.…”

“…Blitz (2014) showed that asset pricing model with a SDF-based behavioural beta performs better than a traditional capital asset pricing model (CAPM) and Fama–French three-factor model. Using the Center for Research in Security Prices (CRSP) data of monthly frequency for US stock markets from 1926 to 2010, he found that market beta is not a priced risk factor in the cross-section of returns and behavioural beta captures return dynamics better, in most of the return quantiles.…”

“…This factor premium has been identified in the academic literature for a long time, but is less well known than the Value, Size and Momentum factors. We refer to Haugen and Baker (1991), Ang et al (2006), Blitz andVan Vliet (2007, 2011) and Van Vliet (2011) for further underpinning. The 'leverage aversion' theory serves as an explanation of this anomaly (see Asness et al, 2012 for a good description).…”

“…Finally, Ang argues that special attention should be paid to the relationship between asset owners and delegated managers, where asset owners need to ascertain that managers do not burden the asset owner with additional sets of bad times. Blitz () contributes to this line of research by arguing that the agency effects arising from delegated portfolio management can cause the relationship between market beta and expected stock returns to become flat, instead of linearly positive as assumed in widely‐accepted asset pricing models. His agency‐based 3‐factor model, which assumes a flat relationship between market beta and expected stock returns, is much better able to explain the performance of portfolios sorted on beta or volatility, consistent with the results of previous studies which conclude that the CAPM and the standard 3‐factor model fail to explain the performance of such portfolios.…”
