Abstract
The purpose of this paper is to establish and estimate the extent of the volatility anomaly (VA). We examine the impact of the beta, variance, relative-beta, and relative-variance measures on the stock returns for NIFTY500 companies, for the 10-year period 2010-2020. Our empirical findings suggest that the VA is predominant in the medium to long-term, but seems to be negligible in the ultra-short and short time frames. The overall findings suggest that the VA is most significant when the time period considered is three years or more. These results can be highly useful for investors as well as portfolio managers.
期刊介绍:
IIMB Management Review (IMR) is a quarterly journal brought out by the Indian Institute of Management Bangalore. Addressed to management practitioners, researchers and academics, IMR aims to engage rigorously with practices, concepts and ideas in the field of management, with an emphasis on providing managerial insights, in a reader friendly format. To this end IMR invites manuscripts that provide novel managerial insights in any of the core business functions. The manuscript should be rigorous, that is, the findings should be supported by either empirical data or a well-justified theoretical model, and well written. While these two requirements are necessary for acceptance, they do not guarantee acceptance. The sole criterion for publication is contribution to the extant management literature.Although all manuscripts are welcome, our special emphasis is on papers that focus on emerging economies throughout the world. Such papers may either improve our understanding of markets in such economies through novel analyses or build models by taking into account the special characteristics of such economies to provide guidance to managers.
