Excerpt from Robust Regression and Sensitivity Analysis in Estimating Mutual Funds Performance, 1945-1964
The theoretical results of the capital asset pricing models were derived independently by Sharpe Lintner Mossin and Treynor A short derivation of these results based on Mossin 4] is presented below. The purpose of all the above models is to provide a theory of equilibrium of exchange in a market for risky assets and study the properties of this equilibrium.
Mossin assumes that the individual, as in a competitive market is a price - taker and has a preference ordering among possible portfolios. The solution of the problem at the individual level implicitly deter mines its demand for risky assets as a function of prices. The inter action of these individuals' demand schedules, under certain assumptions on the individual and market behavior, determines the prices of assets that equalize supply and demand for all assets.
All the cited models are based on the assumptions that a) all investors are risk averse and are single period expected utility of terminal wealth maximizers.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the performance of mutual funds during a pivotal period in American financial history: 1945 to 1964. Challenging conventional wisdom of the time, the author investigates whether portfolio managers possessed superior forecasting capabilities, a question that continues to be debated today. By applying statistical techniques such as sensitivity analysis and robust regression, the author scrutinizes the performance of a sample of ten mutual funds. The book examines the impact of specific years, like 1962, on fund performance and identifies how various statistical approaches can influence the interpretation of data. Ultimately, the author presents a detailed analysis of mutual fund performance that highlights the need for robust statistical analysis and the complexities of interpreting data in the financial world. This book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of investment management, the application of statistical methods to financial data, and the ongoing quest to understand the complexities of market behavior.
