- Financial advisors generally recommend that their clients allocate more to higher risk–return asset classes (like equities) if their investment horizons are long. Is this advice consistent with the basic M-V model? Does adding a shortfall constraint to the M-V model make a difference? If so, how? If not, why not? Assuming investment opportunities change over time, what type of asset return behavior would justify this advice within the M-V framework?arrow_forwardThe theory is based on the notion that investors act rationally and consider all available information in the decision-making process, and hence investment markets are efficient, reflecting all available information in security prices. This describes Select one: a. conventional finance. b. irrational investors. c. behavioral finance. d. cognitive errors. e. None of the thesearrow_forwardWhich of the following is true of Behavioral Finance? Question 24 options: 1) It is a study of how sociological and economic factors drive investor buy-and-sell decisions 2) It argues that investors are always rational in their investment decision and that price anomalies are due to weak form market efficiency 3) It argues that investors often make decisions based on emotions and biases 4) It is a study of how market overreaction and underreaction are explained by the efficient market hypothesisarrow_forward
- The suggestions of the efficient market hypothesis (EMH) include: Select one: O a. The suggestion that either active or passive strategies may be appropriate, depending on the expected direction of the market. O b. The suggestion that stock prices are not random. O c. The suggestion that technical analysis can be used to uncover trends and is quite useful. O d. Only two of the suggestions above and/or below are suggestions of EMH O e. All three are NOT suggestions of EMHarrow_forwardThe efficient markets hypothesis True or False: The efficient markets hypothesis holds only if all investors are rational. False True Almost all financial theory and decision models assume that the financial markets are efficient. The informational efficiency of financial markets determines the ability of investors to “beat” the market and earn excess (or abnormal) returns on their investments. If the markets are efficient, they will react rapidly as new relevant information becomes available. Financial theorists have identified three levels of informational efficiency that reflect what information is incorporated in stock prices. Identify the form of capital market efficiency under the efficient market hypothesis described in the following statement: Current market prices reflect all information contained in past price movements. This statement is consistent with: Strong form efficiency Semistrong form efficiency Weak form efficiency…arrow_forwardWhich of the following is NOT true? You might be better off using elimination approach for this question if your other courses (Financial Management, Investment/Portfolio Management) did not familiarize yourself with the concept of risk-neutrality. In risk-neutral valuation the risk-free rate is used to discount expected cash flows In risk-neutral valuation the expected return on all investment assets is set equal to the risk-free rate O Derivatives can be valued based on the assumption that investors are risk neutral O Risk-neutral valuation provides prices that are only correct in a world where investors are risk-neutral None of these (i.e. all are TRUE)arrow_forward

What efficient market hypothesis are you trying to test? d. Give an example where researchers have used an event study and what did they find? Was it consistent with the EMH?arrow_forwardThe following are the reasons why investors are holding different investment 0/1 despite of having similar objectives EXCEPT Rate of Return Risk tolerance Risk aversion Capital requirement The following are investment constraints EXCEPT 0/1 Unique needs Liquidity Time horizon Risk tolerancearrow_forward
- A borrower who takes out a loan usually has better information about the potential returns and risks of the investment projects he plans to undertake than the lender does. This inequality of information is called O a. adverse selection. b. moral hazard. C. asymmetric information. O d. noncollateralized risk.arrow_forwardWhich of the following statements about the Efficient Market Hypothesis (EMH) is incorrect? Group of answer choices a)If the market is strong-form efficient, investors can not earn abnormal returns using inside information. b) If the investment in small firms earns a positive abnormal return, the stock market is not semi-strong form efficient. c) If a market is efficient, investors tend to follow a passive investment strategy. d) If the future stock price change depends on its history, the market is not weak-form efficient. e) If a market is weak-form efficient, fundamental analysis can not earn a positive abnormal return.arrow_forwardWhich of the following is correct about the security market line (SML)? Investment projects that plot above the security market line have a positive NPV. Investment projects that plot above the security market line have a negative NPV.
