Using monthly stock-market data covering over 151 years, from 1871 to 2022, this article analyzes the relationship between inflation and corporate profitability, measured by dividend-equivalent earnings discounted at the risk-free rate. The relation between corporate profitability and inflation varies across sample periods, time horizons, and ranges of inflation. Corporate profitability tends to be positively related with demand-pull inflation, and negatively related with cost-push inflation. More interestingly, corporate profitability is the highest when inflation is modest (0%–4%), and it is very low when inflation is very low (deflation) or very high (over 10%). Based on this finding, what really matters for corporate profitability seems to be long-term economic stability, as opposed to a temporary setback. High inflation, itself, may not lower corporate profitability, although it can signal lower corporate profitability. Negative stock market reactions to high inflation itself may create buying opportunities.","PeriodicalId":74863,"journal":{"name":"SSRN","volume":"32 1","pages":"43 - 60"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-08-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43517874","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In our historical simulations, they reach a maximum average cumulative level of about 30% of the initially invested capital. In addition, direct indexing strategies exhibit a high dispersion of net loss outcomes. Long-short strategies motivated by factor investing can significantly outperform direct indexing strategies from both a pre-tax and tax perspective. We model two types of long-short factor-based strategies: relaxed-constraint and composite long-short. Both types of strategies, if implemented with a sufficiently high level of leverage and tracking error, can realize a cumulative net capital loss of 100% of the invested capital within a few years and, at the same time, substantially outperform the benchmark index before tax, net of implementation costs. We further show that leverage and tracking error of long-short strategies can be managed dynamically in a highly tax-efficient manner. For example, an investor who becomes less optimistic about the prospects of factor investing can reduce the leverage and tracking error substantially, albeit not all the way to zero, without recognizing net capital gains. We find that a full liquidation of the long and short extensions results in realization of most of the previously deferred gains.","PeriodicalId":74863,"journal":{"name":"SSRN","volume":"14 1","pages":"10 - 41"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-08-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42928960","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this article, the authors extend the empirical analysis to option-based strategies. As a case study, they replicate a popular strategy—the self-financing, three-month put-spread collar—with three implementations that vary only in their rebalance schedule. They find that the annualized tracking error between any two implementations is in excess of 400 basis points. They also decompose the empirically derived rebalance timing luck for this strategy into its linear and non-linear components. Finally, they provide intuition for the driving causes of rebalance timing luck in option-based strategies.","PeriodicalId":74863,"journal":{"name":"SSRN","volume":"26 1","pages":"60 - 74"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-08-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41907082","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This article explores the allocation decisions of 9,324 newly enrolled DC participants who are self-directing their accounts in a DC plan that offers at least one ESG fund. The analysis suggests that demand for ESG funds is relatively low, with ESG fund allocations and holding levels being lower than random chance would suggest. While there are some clear demographic preferences for ESG funds (e.g., among younger participants with higher incomes), ESG allocations appear to be primarily a function of weak preferences, driven by naïve diversification, although ESG allocations are significantly higher in plans where general ESG usage is more elevated. ESG funds have the potential to drive participants away from professionally managed investment options, such as target-date funds, resulting in lower risk-adjusted returns for participants if they are simply added to core menus. Overall, this analysis suggests that plan sponsors should take a thoughtful and cautious approach when considering adding ESG funds to an existing core menu.","PeriodicalId":74863,"journal":{"name":"SSRN","volume":"11 1","pages":"56 - 73"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-07-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49052425","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We calculate SSD for US optionable stocks. SSD can be more than 10% per year, it can fluctuate significantly over time, and its cross-sectional dispersion widens over market crises periods. We confirm the accuracy of SSD by empirically verifying the predictions of a standard asset pricing setting with transaction costs. First, we document its predicted type of connection with various proxies of stocks’ transaction costs. Second, we conduct simple asset pricing tests that render further support. Our setting allows explaining the size of alphas reported by previous literature on the predictive ability of deviations from put-call parity.","PeriodicalId":74863,"journal":{"name":"SSRN","volume":"31 1","pages":"8 - 33"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42816661","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
