Financial Markets and Investment Strategies Financial Risk and Volatility Modeling Complex Systems and Time Series Analysis

Abstract

In this paper we propose a new approach to estimating the systematic risk (the beta of an asset) in a capital asset pricing model (CAPM).The proposed method is based on a wavelet multiscaling approach that decomposes a given time series on a scale-by-scale basis.At each scale, the wavelet variance of the market return and the wavelet covariance between the market return and a portfolio are calculated to obtain an estimate of the portfolio's beta.The empirical results show that the relationship between the return of a portfolio and its beta becomes stronger as the wavelet scale increases.Therefore, the predictions of the CAPM model are more relevant in the medium long run as compared to short time horizons.

The generous support for this work is most gratefully acknowledged. The author is also much indebted to his colleagues Professors Bishop, Christenson, Kahr, Raiffa, and (especially) Schlaifer, for extensive discussion and commentary on an earlier draft of this paper; but responsibility for any errors or imperfections remains strictly his own.[Professor Sharpe's paper, “Capital Asset Prices: A Theory of Market Equilibrium Under Conditions of Risk” (Journal of Finance, September 1964) appeared after this paper was in final form and on its way to the printers. My first section, which parallels the first half of his paper (with corresponding conclusions), sets the algebraic framework for sections II, III and VI, (which have no counterpart in his paper) and for section IV on the equilibrium prices of risk assets, concerning which our results differ significantly for reasons which will be explored elsewhere. Sharpe does not take up the capital budgeting problem developed in section V below.]1972Capital Market Equilibrium with Restricted Borrowing 1977Estimating betas from nonsynchronous data 1972The capital asset pricing model: Some empirical tests 1981Stock Returns, Real Activity, Inflation, and Money
