  2. Agenda • Overview • Motivation • Risk Horizon • Theoretical setup • Empirical application • Conclusion 2

  3. Overview • Development of an equilibrium asset pricing model • Asymmetric risks • Incomplete information on returns distributions & agents’ utility • Only moments up to order 4 of unconditional distributions are known • A new intuitive risk measure is introduced: Risk Horizon of a security: time required for its mean return to converge around its expectation with a specified tolerance • Starting from this general framework, series of 3 papers (current in red) • Link with the term structure of interest rates estimation of the equilibrium market risk premium; • Derivation of market equilibria equations (HCML, HSML) calibrations and tests of a multi-moment asset pricing model; • Identification of nested utility- or distributions-based models tests of optimal asset allocations. 3

  4. Motivation • Estimationof expectedreturns: standard methodsbased on realizedreturns or forward-lookingestimates; lack of theoreticalfoundations • Weaknesses of CAPM (questionable assumptions, Jensen’s alpha, evidence of multiple sources of risks) • Forces of CAPM (robust equilibrium framework, flexible additional assumptions, empirical adaptation to BTM, size, PE, theoretical adaptation to skewness: Kraus & Litzenberger, 1976) • Critiques to alternative models: • Utility-based models: any assumed relationships between expected utility and moment preferences is theoretically unsound (Brockett & Kahane 1992) • Distribution-based models: diversification is a two-edged sword (Simkowitz & Beedles 1978, Mitton & Vorkink 2007) 4
