efficiency Tests of market efficiency look at the whether specific investment strategies earn excess returns. Some tests also account for transactions costs and execution feasibility. Since an excess return on an investment is the difference between the actual and expected return on that investment, there is implicit in every test of market efficiency a model for this expected return. In some cases, this expected return adjusts for risk using the capital asset pricing model or the arbitrage pricing model, and in others the expected return is based upon returns on similar or equivalent investments. In every case, a test of market efficiency is a joint test of market efficiency and the efficacy of the model used for expected returns. When there is evidence of excess returns in a test of market efficiency, it can indicate that markets are inefficient or that the model used to compute expected returns is wrong or both. While this may seem to present an insoluble dilemma, if the conclusions of the study are insensitive to different model specifications, it is much more likely that the results are being driven by true market inefficiencies and not just by model misspecificatio

2 more likely to have under valued stocks. Given the size of the universe of stocks, this not only saves time for the analyst, but increases the odds significantly of finding under and over valued stocks. For instance, some efficiency studies suggest that stocks that are 'neglected' be institutional investors are more likely to be undervalued and earn excess returns. A strategy that screens firms for low institutional investment (as a percentage of the outstanding stock) may yield a sub-sample of neglected firms, which can then be valued using valuation models, to arrive at a portfolio of undervalued firms. If the research is correct the odds of finding undervalued firms should increase in this sub-sample. What is an efficient market? An efficient market is one where the market price is an unbiased estimate of the true value of the investment. Implicit in this derivation are several key concepts - (a) Contrary to popular view, market efficiency does not require that the market price be equal to true value at every point in time. All it requires is that errors in the market price be unbiased, i.e., that prices can be greater than or less than true value, as long as these deviations are random1. (b) The fact that the deviations from true value are random implies, in a rough sense, that there is an equal chance that stocks are under or over valued at any point in time, and that these deviations are uncorrelated with any observable variable. For instance, in an efficient market, stocks with lower PE ratios should be no more or less likely to under valued than stocks with high PE ratios. (c) If the deviations of market price from true value are random, it follows that no group of investors should be able to consistently find under or over valued stocks using any investment strategy. 1 Randomness implies that there is an equal chance that stocks are under or over valued at any point in time.

1 CHAPTER 6 MARKET EFFICIENCY – DEFINITION, TESTS AND EVIDENCE What is an efficient market? What does it imply for investment and valuation models? Clearly, market efficiency is a concept that is controversial and attracts strong views, pro and con, partly because of differences between individuals about what it really means, and partly because it is a core belief that in large part determines how an investor approaches investing. This chapter provides a simple definition of market efficiency, considers the implications of an efficient market for investors and summarizes some of the basic approaches that are used to test investment schemes, thereby proving or disproving market efficiency. It also provides a summary of the voluminous research on whether markets are efficient. Market Efficiency and Investment Valuation The question of whether markets are efficient, and if not, where the inefficiencies lie, is central to investment valuation. If markets are, in fact, efficient, the market price provides the best estimate of value, and the process of valuation becomes one of justifying the market price. If markets are not efficient, the market price may deviate from the true value, and the process of valuation is directed towards obtaining a reasonable estimate of this value. Those who do valuation well, then, will then be able to make 'higher' returns than other investors, because of their capacity to spot under and over valued firms. To make these higher returns, though, markets have to correct their mistakes – i.e. become efficient – over time. Whether these corrections occur over six months or five years can have a profound impact in which valuation approach an investor chooses to use and the time horizon that is needed for it to succeed. There is also much that can be learnt from studies of market efficiency, which highlight segments where the market seems to be inefficient. These 'inefficiencies' can provide the basis for screening the universe of stocks to come up with a sub-sample that is
