Är det möjligt att göra en riskjusterad överavkastning med hjälp av aktiva investeringsmetoder?
(2011) NEKK01 20102Department of Economics
- Abstract
- This essay investigates the possibility to make a risk adjusted return that outperforms index, OMXS30, by using one of three different investing methods. In other words it is a study which tests whether investors ought to choose a passive or active approach in investing. The methods described and examined, are mean-variance, minimum variance and shortfall constraint. When investigating the different methods, portfolios using 24 months historic data have been created and selected by each method’s own optimization criteria. The efficiency of each method has then been assessed using the Sharpe ratio as this ratio shows the relationship between both risk and return. After testing the efficiency, a t-test was conducted to determine whether... (More)

The efficiency of each method has then been assessed using the Sharpe ratio as this ratio shows the relationship between both risk and return. After testing the efficiency, a t-test was conducted to determine whether there exists a statistically significant difference between the index and the three methods’ Sharpe ratio. The result reached during this study was that there did not exist a significant difference between index and the three methods. (Less)
