Agenda • Methodology • Fama-French Model • Our Forecasting Model • Industry Portfolio Betas • Return Estimation • Allocation Strategy • Conclusions
Historic Asset Return Historic Fama-French Factors (Rf, Rm, SMB, HML) Predictor Variables Prediction of FF factors for the next period E(Rf, Rp, SMB, HML) Betas of the Asset (β1,β2,β3) Predict return of the Asset for the next period Methodology
Fama-French Model • Three Factor Model • SMB, HML and Prem. Return • Early 1990’s • Explanatory Model
Selecting Variables Model Building & Testing Factors Estimation Our Forecasting Model
Industry Portfolios Betas E(Ri)-Rf = β0 +β1 [ E(Rm)-R ] + β2E(SMB) + β3E(HML) + e
FF Factors Estimation Portfolio Betas Portfolio Returns Estimating Returns • Based on estimated Risk Factors • Using the Betas calculated with the predicting model
Allocation Strategy • Using optimizer model from Assignment 2 • Set standard deviation equal to S&P 500. • Allow maximum long position of 100% • Allow maximum short sell of 50%
Conclusions • Higher R2s than expected • Reasonable explanatory power of Fama-French Factors • Fama-French Model explains well Industry Portfolios returns • Estimation Jan 2002 return of 1.24%/ month
