Agenda l l l What is tactical asset allocation? Mean-variance perspective on TAA and SAA Predictability – – – January dummy Business cycle variables Explaining risk premia: US, World, Sweden. Currency risk premia Caveats: data snooping, statistical issues. Tactical Asset Allocation 2 12/12/2021
What is TAA? l l Exists since early-to-mid- 80 -ies. By now $100 -200 bln are under management by TAA managers A TAA managers’s investment objective is to obtain better-than-expected return with (possibly) lower-thanbenchmark volatility by forecasting the returns of two or more asset classes and varying asset class exposure in systematic manner (Phillips, Rogers & Capaldi, 1996) Can TAA funds be interpreted as stand-alone asset class?

How to do it? We need a model that explains the connection between today’s variables and tomorrow returns. l Candidates: economic business cycle variables and Jan. Effect. l Tactical Asset Allocation 7 12/12/2021

Evaluation of 2001 and 2008 Recessions l In July 2000, the Yield Curve inverted forecasting recession to begin in June 2001. l l Official NBER Peak is March 2001 (Yield Curve within one quarter accurate). In March 2001, the Yield Curve returned to normal forecasting the end of the recession in November 2001. On July 17, 2003 the NBER announced the official end of the recession was November 2001. In August 2006 , the Yield Curve inverted forecasting recession to begin in July 2007. l l l Official NBER Peak is December 2007 (Yield Curve within two quarters accurate). In May 2007, the Yield Curve returned to normal forecasting the end of the recession in January 2008. On September 20, 2010 the NBER announced the official end of the recession was June 2009.

What variables matter? Methodology: 1. Exploratory: regressing returns at t on informational variables at t-1 2. ”Correct one”: first finding economic risk premia (a la APT) and then regressing it on informational variables at t-1 Tactical Asset Allocation 26 12/12/2021
Do informational variables have predictive ability? l Info variables: – January dummy – Past excess return on Equally weighted CRSP index – Spread between 1 and 3 mo Tbills – Dividend yield – Spread between Baa and Aaa corporate bonds – 1 -mo T-bill rate Tactical Asset Allocation 27 12/12/2021

How important are global factors? l l Based on Ferson-Harvey RFS 95 Question here is: what is more important, local or global factors for predictability of asset returns. Global Informational variables: : ”old friends”: 1 mo t-bill, div. Yield on MSCI World index, spread between 10 yr and 3 mo Tbills, Eurodollar/US treasury spread, lagged market return, January dummy. Local informational variables: Country x div. Yield, 30 -day tbill rate, term spread, lagged MSCI country x market return. Tactical Asset Allocation 33 12/12/2021
So, what matters? ”Global only” model is already good enough l Adding local factors increases explanatory power of the model l Tactical Asset Allocation 34 12/12/2021
Changes in b vs changes in risk premium l Only 2 -4% of variation is due to beta’s. Tactical Asset Allocation 35 12/12/2021
What about currency risk premium? Currency specificiy: zero-sum game l Dumas-Solnik: currency risk premia exists. It is time-varying and predictable l Tactical Asset Allocation 36 12/12/2021
Caveats: l Data snooping – Foster, Smith and Whaley (98): by choosing to max R 2 via choice of instruments one can get significance when there is none. – Not clear how to use as list of instruments already exists. . . l In-sample vs. Out-of-sample validation Tactical Asset Allocation 37 12/12/2021
Caveats(2) Statistical biases: autocorrelation, heteroscedastisity (via Monte-Carlo simulations). l Non-normality, excess skewness and kurtosis l Tactical Asset Allocation 38 12/12/2021
How to deal with statistical issues? l Bootstrap methodology: – Form empirical distribution of returns – Generate time series of returns (length T). – Perform the regression of interest – See how many times there exists significance on level a. Tactical Asset Allocation 39 12/12/2021
U. S. Risk Premium Survey Background l Graham/Harvey: Survey CFOs every quarter l l l Q 2 2000 through Q 4 2008 (52 quarters) Current survey attracts about 500 respondents Why CFOs? – We know from previous surveys and interviews that the CFOs use the risk premium for their capital budgeting – Hence, they have thought hard about risk premium – Should not be biased the way that analyst forecasts might be Tactical Asset Allocation 40 12/12/2021

Conclusion: TAA can be an important tool in asset allocation methodology. l It is based on time variation of real economic risk premia. l Selection of predictors is important. l We are still in ”top-down” paradigm. l Devil is in the details= implementation matters. l Tactical Asset Allocation 47 12/12/2021
