We propose the first factor model that explains cross-sectional variation in optionable stock returns. Our model includes new factors based on option-implied volatility minus realized volatility, the call minus put implied volatility spread, and the difference between changes in call and put implied volatilities, along with the market factor. The model outperforms previously-proposed factor models at explaining the performance of portfolios of optionable stocks formed by sorting on other option-based predictors, as well as other well-known stock return predictors. Our model provides a benchmark for assessing whether portfolios of optionable stocks generate returns that are not explained by previously-documented phenomena.

We investigate differences in the structures of investor stock trading networks prior to and during the global financial crisis of 2007-2008. We find that the population of investor networks for 45 securities have different structures between pre-crisis and crisis periods with statistical significance. Moreover, we observe the herding tendency and high synchronization in trade timing during the crisis, which is supported by the literature. These findings can be used to develop early-warning signals for crises in stock markets.

Equity studies are conducted by professionals, who also provide buy/hold/sell recommendations to investors. Nowadays, target prices determined by financial analysts are publicly available to investors, who may decide to use them for investment purposes. Studying the accuracy of such analysts’ forecasts is, thus, of paramount importance. Based upon empirical data on 50 of the biggest (larger capitalisation) European stocks over a 15-year period, from 2004 to 2019, and using a panel data approach, this is the first study looking at overall accuracy in European stock markets. We find that Bloomberg’s 12-month consensus target prices have no predictive power over future market prices. Our panel results are robust to company fixed effects and subperiod analysis. These results are in line with the (mostly US-based) evidence in the literature. Extending common practice, we perform a comparative accuracy analysis, comparing the accuracy of target prices with that of simple capitalisations of current prices. It turns out target prices are not better at forecasting than simple capitalisations. When considering individual regressions, accuracy is still very low, but it varies considerably across stocks. By also analysing the relationship between both measures—target prices and capitalised prices—we find evidence that, for some stocks, capitalised prices partially explain how target prices are determined.

Stock price multiple is one of the most well-known equity valuation technique used to forecast equity price. It measures by multiplying “the ratio of stock price to a value driver” by a value driver. The value driver can be earning per share (EPS), sales or other financial measurements. The objective of price multiple technique is to evaluate the value of assets and compare how similar assets are priced in the market. Although stock price multiple technique is common in financial filed, studies on the application of the technique in Thailand is still limited. The present study is conducted to serve three major objectives. The first objective is to apply the technique to measure value of firms in banking sector in the Stock Exchange of Thailand. The second objective is to develop composite price multiple index to forecast equity prices. The third objective is to compare valuation accuracy of different value drivers of price multiple (i.e. EPS, Earnings Growth, Earnings Before Interest Taxes Depreciation and Amortization, Sales, Book Value and Composite Index) in forecasting equity prices. Results indicated that EPS is the most accurate value drivers of price multiple used to forecast equity price of firms in baking sector.

The financial advising professions are concerned that not only will there be insufficient talent in the workforce to replace those professionals that will soon retire and to meet the expected growth in advisors over the next decade, but the profession is also lacking in diversity. This paper focuses on The University of Akron’s Women and Diversity Symposium, which is the result of the alignment of industry initiatives to increase the number of women and people of diverse backgrounds in the financial services industry. The secondary goal is to increase the number of undergraduate students choosing financial planning as a degree. Through an analysis of surveys completed by attendees at the symposium, this research has shown that the symposium improved the impression of the financial services industry among those that attended.

English Abstract: This study presents a case study of Life Planning which is termed life - oriented financial planning. This includes an actual financial planning process via which a financial planner consulted with the customers in a six-step process of financial planning, which reflects the common problems of Korean households. In this case study, cash management, insurance planning, investment planning, real estate planning, and retirement planning, were implemented in accordance with the six steps of financial planning. The consultations were carried out to solve the various problems affecting the clients’ whole lives. The proposed financial plans include the process of solving various troubles that may occur between mothers and their adolescent sons, and the financial problems of mothers in their 50s who lead single parent families from the life planning perspectives. In this case study, the financial planner identified ‘retirement preparation’ and ‘tuition’ as the most important financial issues of the clients, and he proposed financial planning propositions in order to solve them effectively. This study emphasizes the importance of communication with customers and the six- step process in financial planning. It also provides indirect experience for many financial planners who are lacking in any actual experience with Life Planning.

The dramatic increase in the importance of U.S. dividends since 2001 means that financial analysts may soon demand access to updated dividend discount models (DDMs). To address this need, we introduce a new “super annuity formula” that can be used in the modular construction of multiple-stage level-growth DDMs. We also use the super annuity formula to approximate a three-stage transitional-growth DDM very accurately. We show that these advanced DDMs are relatively robust to the input assumptions. Going forward, every financial analyst should have knowledge of and access to these updated DDMs, so as to capitalize on the growing importance of dividends.

The term financial planning has been an area of research interest since few years. Studies have underlined the influence of various cognitive factors in individuals’ financial decisions. The present study is also trying to underline the influence of various cognitive factors in personal financial planning of Indian households. The term financial cognition considered three components namely financial attitude, risk attitude and financial knowledge and raise the concern about the influence of various cognitive factors on individual personal financial planning. Especially in India, being a conservative attitude towards financial decisions, individual households do have higher influence of various cognitive and behavioral aspects in their suboptimal decision towards personal financial planning. The present study is putting forward those aspects of personal financial planning decisions of Indian households. The main objective of the model is to create the bare minimum structure to demonstrate the influence of financial cognition on personal financial planning among Indian households. The study mainly tried to explore the fundamental principle of subjective thinking towards financial decision. The model would represent the influence of financial cognition towards people financial decisions and can be helpful in exploring the financial information process. The study used PLS-SEM to explore PFP process in all the area of financial interest i.e. cash flow management, investment, insurance, retirement, tax and estate planning. The salaried individuals from different sectors are considered as sample for the study. The analysis has been done with 452 responses from Indian households.
