Taiwan stock arbitrage strategy based on beta uncertainty
This study investigates an investment arbitrage strategy based on CAPM beta uncertainty, using monthly data from companies listed in Taiwan from 1993 to 2023. The in-sample analysis reveals that beta uncertainty has a stronger positive relationship with stock returns than beta itself, suggesting that beta uncertainty is a more effective risk factor than the traditional CAPM beta. Specifically, holding high-beta or high-beta-uncertainty stocks while shorting low-beta or low-beta-uncertainty stocks can generate significant investment returns. Stock portfolios are further segmented based on historical betas, market values, book-to-price ratios, and past cumulative returns to ensure the robustness of the findings. In the out-of-sample analysis, we observe that within the highest beta groups, a strategy involving a long position in the highest beta group and a short position in the lowest beta group exhibits the highest investment performance.
