Our asset pricing model motivates an index of volatility-amplified pessimism (VAP) that predicts both momentum and market returns as well as a real-time trading strategy that uses the index to switch between the market and momentum portfolios. In high VAP states, the market generates high returns and Sharpe ratios, while momentum generates high returns and Sharpe ratios in low VAP states.

By using a novel statistical test coupled with a popular resampling technique, first we rule out the possibility that the high predictability may be an artefact of in-sample overfitting. Then we find that, contrary to explanations proposed in the original CP paper, neither the specific tent shape of the factor loadings nor the four-to-five-year yield spread are essential for the model’s predictive power. Instead, our analysis suggests that the predictive power of the CP model lies in its ability to identify the cointegration relationship among the quasi-unit-root forward rate regressors needed to produce the stationary process of excess returns. To support this interpretation we show that cointegration relationships among forward rates directly provide strong predictors of excess returns, and we propose that the cointegration modes of attraction generate at least part of the excess returns. Our findings shed new light on the source of bond return predictability captured by the CP factor and highlight the link between cointegration properties and the dynamics of yields.<span><span><sup>1</sup></span></span></div></div>","PeriodicalId":15704,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Empirical Finance","volume":"84 ","pages":"Article 101650"},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2025-09-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145097580","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Using data from the U.S. mutual fund market, we examine the relationships between mutual funds’ ambiguity exposure, risk-adjusted performance, and investment flows. We introduce a novel measure of ambiguity exposure based on the smooth ambiguity model, which provides insight into how funds are priced in the presence of ambiguity. We find that risk-adjusted fund returns include a positive premium that compensates for greater ambiguity exposure in the fund’s asset holdings. The flow analysis, however, suggests that fund investors pursue positive risk-adjusted returns overall, regardless of whether seemingly superior returns are driven by the ambiguity premium. This behavior indicates that fund investors are primarily attracted to performance outcomes and less concerned with whether these reflect managerial expertise or increased ambiguity exposure.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":15704,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Empirical Finance","volume":"84 ","pages":"Article 101655"},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2025-09-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145027782","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
