EMH, TECHNICAL ANALYSIS AND FUNDAMENTAL ANALYSIS: IMPLICATIONS TO INVESTMENT STRATEGIES • EMH • Weak form • Semi strong • Strong form • TECHNICAL ANALYSIS • FUNDAMENTAL ANALYSIS
Definition • EMH: measure speed, magnitude and direction of price sensitive information being reflected in current prices. • Technical Analysis: the use of past information to predict future prices • Fundamental Analysis: use valuation principles to identify under/over value assets and using fundamental variables to predict future prices
Implications of EMH • Past information is of no value • If mispricing occurs or market is inefficient, it will not last very long • By virtue of uncovering inefficiencies, we are moving the market towards efficiency.
Evidence against EMH • January Effect • Weekend effect • Size Effect • P/E Effect • Price to Book Value Effect • Others e.g Behavioural finance
FUNDAMENTAL ANALYSIS • TOP DOWN VS BOTTOM UP • Economic environment • Industry/Sector Analysis • Company analysis • ASSET ALLOCATION VS SECURITY ANALYSIS • COMPANY ANALYSIS • FSA • Risk Analysis • Valuation Models
TECHNCAL ANALYSIS • Underlying assumptions • History repeat by itself • SS and DD interaction • Trend formation and Trend persistance • T.A Indicators • Moving average (MA) • Charts • Support (leads to DD) and Resistance (leads to SS) Levels.
