Abstract:
This thesis is based on the analysis of all rural property sales transactions that occurred in NSW over the period 1990-2000 and is the first complete state wide analysis of a rural property market in Australia. Previous studies on rural land performance have been restricted in both limited time periods and limited location areas. The importance of rural property, as an investment asset has been recognised in the US and UK with both countries having a rural property performance index. These indices are similar in construction, quality and reliability as the commercial property, residential property and share market indices that are also available in these countries to analyse the performance of these investment assets. Until the development of the rural property capital and total return indices in this thesis, there has never been a comprehensive and complete set of rural property investment indices available to assess the risk/return performance and investment portfolio benefits of rural property in Australia. The actual construction of the indices in this thesis have been based on the current indices produced by the Property Council of Australia for office, retail, industrial and hotel property in Australia. Based on the work in this thesis, rural property investment performance can now be compared to all major investment assets available in Australia. This research will be ongoing to ensure that the performance of rural property will be available on a semi-annual basis for use by all institutions, companies and individuals with an interest in the investment potential of rural property in Australia

Mestrado em Finanças
O índice PSI 20 é o padrão de referência por excelência da Euronext Lisboa. No entanto, os gestores de fundos portugueses que investem em ações nacionais podem não ter a possibilidade de replicar a carteira do PSI 20, devido às restrições ao investimento impostas pela regulação europeia para os mercados financeiros, nomeadamente as Diretivas UCITS. Este trabalho vai analisar até que ponto estas limitações podem ser impeditivas da performance dos fundos de investimento. É feita uma caracterização da legislação aplicável, bem como do segmento de fundos de investimento em ações nacionais que atuam no mercado nacional. Criou-se um índice alternativo ao PSI 20 para o período 2004-2011, respeitando os limites legais ao investimento, que servirá como benchmark da performance da amostra de fundos de investimento, que inclui todos os fundos em atividade durante o período completo em análise. Verificou-se que a nova série de rendimentos do mercado obtida, conquanto não sendo estatisticamente diferente do PSI 20, apresentou um retorno superior e volatilidade ligeiramente inferior. Procedeu-se à avaliação da performance utilizando indicadores clássicos. Os resultados obtidos sugerem que a maior diversificação imposta pela legislação não tem necessariamente um impacto negativo sobre os retornos obtidos, e que a comparação com um índice sujeito às mesmas regras dos fundos não leva a conclusões mais favoráveis à gestão ativa. Não se encontrou qualquer prova que os gestores de fundos, enquanto grupo, consigam obter de forma consistente uma performance acima do retorno do mercado, ajustado pelo risco.
While the PSI 20 blue-chip index has been widely used as a benchmark for the Portuguese stock exchange, it may not be replicable by fund managers due to investment limits imposed in UCIT European regulation. This dissertation compares the relative performance of a set of Portuguese mutual funds against both the standard PSI 20 benchmark and a modified version which fully respects said limits. Results show that the greater diversification imposed by the legal rules does not necessarily imply a sacrifice in terms of returns, and that no evidence was found of consistent, abnormal returns by active management, when evaluated by the modified benchmark.

Abstract:
Diversification is one of the three most prominent elements of portfolio management with risk and return being the other two. In addition, diversification is a core objective for combining assets and is a central tenet of portfolio construction. It is also widely known that diversification is concerned with the number of unrelated sources of return and in essence the aim of diversification is to eliminate unsystematic risk from an investment portfolio while systematic risk will remain as it can not be diversified away. This study focuses on the concept of diversification in an investment portfolio setting, while specifically investigating a relatively "new" diversification measure, the Portfolio Diversification Index (PDI). The objectives of this study are twofold. First, establishing whether or not the PDI is a good diversification measure compared to the conventional/traditional and widely used residual variance method. The traditional method of measuring diversification remains inexact as this method measures portfolio diversification relative to a market index. When the market index itself is, however, poorly or not appropriately diversified it becomes problematic as the diversification measurement of the residual variance method is influenced. The PDI is a diversification measurement concept which is essentially free from the influences of the overall market index. This relatively "new" measure of diversification, the PDI, is based on the number of independent factors observed in a portfolio. These independent factors are quantified using Principal Components Analysis (PCA). In ascertaining the first objective the PDI battles "head-to-head" against the residual variance method of diversification by comparing fund ranking results of five South African unit trusts. This method of testing is used as no suitable statistical method exists. The fund ranking results of the two diversification measures are compared to a number of risk performance measures, including the Sharpe- and Sortino ratios. Extensive use is also made of the Omega ratio in this study as the Omega emerges as the dominant risk performance measure. The second objective of this study is to determine whether the PDI can be used as a tool by fund managers to assist in constructing funds (or changing the composition of existing fund) to reduce (or minimise) portfolio risk without a concomitant reduction in portfolio return. The PDI is used to determine the most independent factors of a South African unit trust where after' this fund is optimised, using the information of the independent factors, in order to reduce the risk of this fund. The Omega ratio is used to evaluate the results of the PDI while the marginal portfolio diversification concept is also investigated. A thorough literature study also presents the most relevant and important concepts and topics of the theory, management and construction of portfolios. Throughout the literature study the concept of diversification along with the topics most relevant to diversification are extensively focused and elaborated on. The method of testing used not only confirms that the PDI is a good diversification measure compared to the residual variance method, but that the PDI can also be used as a tool when constructing (or changing the composition of an existing portfolio) in order to reduce the portfolio risk without a concomitant reduction in portfolio return.

The public real estate market was initiated by the Real Estate Investment Trust Act of 1960. Since then, investors have been concerned with the assessment of performance comparisons between publicly held assets and privately held assets. The main concern for the assessment is to reveal historically which type of ownership provided the more efficient vehicle for the investors. The National Council of Real Estate Investment Fiduciaries (NCREIF) provides the investment performance of privately held commercial real estate, and the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trust (NAREIT) provides that of publicly held commercial real estate by REITs. However, direct comparison between the two indexes is problematic due to the different characteristics of each market and the lack of historical data for accurate assessment. The primary purpose of this study is to adjust characteristics of commercial REIT assets underlying one portfolio to match the characteristics of privately held commercial assets. Since SNL data base provides hedonic data from 1995 and CRSP & Compustat merged data base provides up to 2005 Q4, the sample period of this research is from 1995 Q1 to 2005 Q4. This quarterly assessment is conducted at the property sector (retail, apartment, office and industrial), then at the aggregate level. The main research of this thesis is to create adjusted REIT equity index that is derived from the following treatments in the thesis. Pure-Play' Portfolio Methodology will be applied to replicate the performance of four real estate property-type sectors defined by NCREIF - Implemented updated Equity to Total Asset ratio from De-leveraging REIT returns by WACC formula based on CRSP and Compustat merged data to obtain the value weights of equity, debt and total assets.
(cont.) As a proxy for the returns of debts held by REITs, Gilberto-Levy Historical Mortgage Rate will be used as a proxy for the returns of debts held by REITs. Sector-Mix Adjustment according to NCREIF sector weights. REIT index investment cost proxied by Vanguard REIT fund expense (95-05) will be deducted from adjusted REIT equity index. In this thesis, private real estate equity investment performance is represented by the MIT Transaction Based Index (TBI) and NCREIF Property Index (NPI). Both TBI and NPI returns are deducted by asset management fees estimated by the NFI-ODCE index (NCREIF) over the same time period. Purpose of these adjustments is to improve evaluation of publicly and privately held commercial real estate asset investment performances relative to one another. Preliminary comparison between NAREIT equity REIT index and NPI quarterly returns from 1995-2005 was conducted to collect the mean return difference. Then the difference after the treatments was compared to observe the effects of the author's method. The results demonstrate that at the aggregate level the difference between REIT and NPI returns reduced from 1.08% to 0.74%, and the difference between REIT and TBI returns reduced from 1.64% to 0.18%.

Abstract:
Mutual funds and pension funds are the most important investment products in Spain. Nonetheless, it should not be confused with each other, or take them as equivalent; since the latter have also the characteristic of a long-term savings product, in order to obtain additional funds for retirement. These differences may influence the investor when deciding on one of these instruments, but also the manager, developing different management strategies.Therefore, on this paper we examine the main magnitudes of both markets in Spain. Moreover, we analyze the performance of two Spanish fund samples (one with global equity mutual funds and another with global equity pension funds) with the purpose of showing if their performance is efficient, and if there are differences on their management.
Los fondos de inversión y los fondos de pensiones son los productos de inversión colectiva más importantes en España. Sin embargo, no deben confundirse entre sí ni tomarlos como equivalentes, ya que los segundos se caracterizan por ser un producto de ahorro a largo plazo cuya función es disponer de un capital adicional en el momento de la jubilación. Esta diferencia puede influir tanto en el inversor, al momento de decidirse por alguno de ellos, como en el gestor, que puede desarrollar diferentes estrategias de gestión. Por ello, en este trabajo se examinan las principales magnitudes de ambos mercados en España. Además, se analiza la eficiencia en la gestión de dos muestras de fondos españoles —una de fondos de inversión de renta variable global y otra de fondos de pensiones de renta variable—, con el objetivo de mostrar si sus gestiones son eficientes y si existen diferencias en ellas.

A indústria de fundos de investimento no Brasil está concentrada no segmento de renda fixa. Dos cerca de R$ 220 bilhões depositados em fundos, hoje, R$ 200 bilhões aproximadamente estão nesse segmento e R$ 20 bilhões em carteiras de renda variável. Observou-se que no primeiro semestre de 2002, os fundos de investimento em geral tiveram alguns problemas que diminuíram bastante os seus retornos. A mudança da métrica de avaliação dos fundos, da chamada Curva de Juros para a Marcação a Mercado, provocou profundas transformações em termos de mensuração de valor dos fundos de renda fixa. Neste contexto, verificou-se a performance das 17 maiores administradoras de fundos no período 1997-2003 com dados diários. O método empregado foi a Análise de Dados em Painel.

The industry of investment fund in Brazil is concentrated in the segment of fixed income. About R$ 220 billion are deposited in funds nowadays, from which R$ 200 billion approximately are in the fixed income segment and R$ 20 billion in variable income portfolios. In the first semester of 2002 it was observed that investment funds in general had substantially reduced their returns. In the wake of the change of the evaluation metrics of funds from yield curves to mark-to-market, caused profound transformation in the value of fixed income funds. In this context, the performance of the 17 biggest asset management firms in the period 1997-2000 in a daily basis has been assessed. The hypothesis that private Brazilian asset management firms have a similar risk-return performance in their portfolios as state and foreign firms has been rejected. Foreign asset management firms had a superior performance with respect to Brazilian private firms, while private firms sustained a superior performance vis-à-vis state firms

Abstract:
Extensive empirical evidence shows that passively managed index-tracking mutual funds and exchange-traded funds (ETFs) outperform actively managed portfolios. On the other hand, there are abundant findings that stocks admitted to an index outperform those deleted from the index. This study tests an issue that has been largely ignored in academic studies but is highly related to the above two seemingly disparate areas of researches. The paper examines the long-term performance of non-index individual stocks and stock portfolios relative to the index. The study proposes that the inclusion and maintenance criteria for index component stocks are long-term performance indicators. Therefore, an index can be regarded as a passively managed and highly diversified portfolio of expected outperformers. Using a complete set of H-shares listed on HKEx for the period 2001 to 2017, the study finds that 44.25% (55.75%) of individual stocks have positive alphas (negative alphas) relative to the index. The average alpha for the family of all non-index stock is negative but statistically insignificant, i.e., 77 positive alphas and 97 negative alphas. Most alphas are statistically insignificant, but only 5 are positive, and 2 are negative at 5% significance level. From the risk and return perspective, the index dominates two-third of the non-index H-shares. Regression analyses show that H-index outperforms non-index H-shares in general and the market capitalization and turnover ratio play an important role in determining the long-term performance of H-shares, which are the major factors for the admission and maintenance criteria of H-index. The findings strongly support our conjecture that the index admission and maintenance criteria are the quality assurance of individual constituent stocks of an index. The paper provides incremental evidence on the widely documented result that index trackers outperform actively managed portfolios. Nevertheless, the study extends the recent literature on the long-term performance of stocks that are admitted to (or excluded from) an index. The findings of the study have significant implications for securities markets participants, including index providers and ETF issuers

Abstract:
Diese Dissertation besteht aus fünf empirischen Studien. Zwei Studien befassen sich mit passiv gemanagten Finanzprodukten. Sie untersuchen den Replikationsprozess von Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs) und vergleichen hierbei die Replikationsgüte von synthetischen und physischen ETFs. Oftmals wird darauf verwiesen, dass synthetische ETFs eine höhere Replikationsgüte besitzen als physische ETFs. Dies lässt sich für Renten-ETFs bestätigen, allerdings nicht für Aktien-ETFs. Zudem wird gezeigt, dass ETFs und Indexzertifikate, die sich im direkten Wettbewerb befinden, im Hinblick auf ihre Geldmittelflüsse komplementär, allerdings nicht perfekt komplementär zueinander sind. Dieser Effekt lässt sich mithilfe der Replikationsgüte und einer Zuordnung beider Indexprodukte in verschiedene Marktnischen erklären. Weitere drei Studien befassen sich mit aktiv gemanagten Finanzprodukten. Sie widmen sich der Frage, ob mithilfe von Fondsbewertungen wie dem Feri Trust Rating, der Finanztest-Bewertung und der FondsNote die zukünftige Performance deutscher Aktienfonds prognostiziert werden kann. Hintergrund ist, dass Investoren Fondsbewertungen in ihre Anlageentscheidung einbeziehen. Sie investieren vor allem in Fonds, die eine Top-Bewertung aufweisen. Die Prognosefähigkeit von Fondsbewertungen kann sich allerdings stark voneinander unterscheiden. Die Ergebnisse zeigen, dass mithilfe der FondsNote am besten zwischen sich zukünftig besser und schlechter entwickelnden Fonds differenziert werden kann. Die Prognosefähigkeit lässt sich durch Kombination der drei Fondsbewertungen sogar erhöhen. Dies hängt allerdings von der Kombination und dem verwendeten Performancemaß/-zeitraum ab. Zudem werden Faktoren untersucht, die einen Einfluss auf die Prognosefähigkeit haben können. Es wird gezeigt, dass qualitative Bewertungsfaktoren nicht zu einer Erhöhung der Prognosefähigkeit beitragen. Stattdessen weisen die Fondskosten und das Verhalten der Investoren einen signifikanten Einfluss auf.
This thesis consists of five empirical studies that deal with actively and passively managed financial products. The first two studies focus on the replication process of exchange-traded funds (ETFs) and compare the tracking ability of ETFs based on physical replication of their benchmark indices with those of synthetic ETFs. Contrary to conventional wisdom, synthetic equity ETFs are not different in terms of tracking errors from their physical counterparts. However, synthetic fixed-income ETFs have lower tracking errors than physical fixed-income ones. Moreover, the second study examines the coexistence of ETFs and index certificates within one market by analyzing the relationship between their money flows. Evidence shows that ETFs and index certificates complement each other, but not in a perfect way. This effect can be explained by similar tracking abilities and a segmentation of investors into different market niches. The other three studies address the question if fund ratings like the Feri Trust rating, the Finanztest-Bewertung, and the FondsNote can predict the future performance of German equity mutual funds. The reason is that investors include fund ratings in their decision-making. They primarily invest in funds which have the best fund rating. However, fund rating predictability can significantly differ among fund ratings. Results indicate that the FondsNote can best distinguish between well and poorly performing funds. Predictability can be enhanced by a combination of fund ratings. However, it depends on the particular fund rating combination, the chosen performance measure, and the post-rating period. Moreover, these three studies analyze factors that could influence the predictability of fund ratings. It is shown that qualitative factors can hardly improve the predictability. By contrast, the costs of funds and the behavior of investors with regard to fund ratings significantly influence the ability to predict future performance.

The empirical purpose of this paper is to apply the LSM model and the moving average method estimation method and investment transaction analysis of Vince (2009 and 2011) to the index futures of each country. We use five countries and regions to use the index futures during the period of 1984/12-2016/12 as the research subject for empirical analysis. The countries are categorized by emerging, developing, and developed countries. We use Vince's (2007, 2009) single-asset cash management model to estimate the optimal investment ratio to form investment strategies for buy and sell orders. For the sake of comparison, we use the most commonly used moving average method in the technical indicators for performance analysis, and use the moving average breakthrough strategy to form a portfolio of buy and sell orders. In addition, this paper proposes to divide the investment situation of countries into bull and bear periods, and analyze the investment performance of the moving average method and LSM model in the bull and bear period. In the performance analysis, we mainly use the trade ratios, annualized return rate, standard deviation and sharpe ratios. The empirical analysis shows that the moving average method and the LSM model have their own advantages. When the moving average method is used in Hong Kong and India, the LSM model has a high rate of return in the UK and the US during the bear period. However, the LSM model has a lower standard deviation and the index changes are more stable.

Based on an identical investment strategy, concerning particularly the part of identifying the turning point of market movement, it is interesting to compare different performance from stock portfolio and index future investments. Furthermore, the reasoning behind the difference, if any, can also be analyzed as a consequence. Basically, there are certain unique features to deviate index futures from stock portfolios such as simplicity, leverage effect and so on. Therefore, with the existence of information and knowledge asymmetry, there might still have a significant difference between the investment performance from stock portfolio and index future, respectively. Empirical work from this study can include the followings. First, solving the problem of optional data size, this job can be easily completed by extending 陳芸慧 (2007) study. Second, establishing the analytical approach of switching investment positions, as this can be managed by creating two trends representing the WINDEX deviation, taken from both long and short – side market portfolios, and its first difference. Last, settling the doubt of eliminating any hedge tool accompanying both kinds of market portfolios, and this point can be supported after conducting event studies with respect to those highly volatile trading days within the sample period. Major outcomes of this empirical study can be summarized as: (1) Stock portfolio is superior to index future investment with respect to “Taiwan 50”, the reason may lie behind the autonomous hedging function existing within the frontier; (2) The optional date size to be used is 25 and 51 for the long and short – side market portfolio, respectively, revealing the fact that both momentum are quite different in the stock market; (3) It is not necessary to use any hedging position aside the stock market portfolio, as the latter already can exhibit certain degrees of autonomous hedging features based on its essence of picking up the best concurrent stock group in the stock market and sufficient degrees of risk diversification.

ABSTRACT Corporate Governance has become a prominent issue since the outbreak of the financial crisis in 2008, with various organizations and scholars bringing up research papers and evaluation modes. The purpose of this research is to establish a simple standard of Taiwan Corporate Governance Index, based on the inner mechanism of corporate governance structure and the research of Chen, Kao, Tsao and Wu in 2007. It aims to reveal the association of ownership structure and board characteristics with investment performance by analyzing such variables as board size, CEO duality, managerial ownership, block shareholder and pledge. The result of this research will serve as a guide for enterprises to formulate their management strategies or for foundations and investors to decide their investment policy and reduce investment risk. This research gathers the samples from the indexes of FTSE TWSE Taiwan 50 and Gretai 50, with the years ranging from 2011 to 2013 to validate its findings. This research shows that corporate governance index has a positive relation with board size, CEO duality, managerial ownership and block shareholder while the ratio of pledge has a negative impact on the index. As for the investment performance, the corporations with high TCGI gain more profits than those with low TCGI . High TCGI corporations indicate the positive result of investment performance and ownership; in contrast, low TCGI ones have investment risks to consider. Keywords:Corporate Governance, ownership structure, board characteristics, risk management

Subprime crisis which increased investment risk has let the investor make the decisions of investment harder than before. From literature review, the results of the fundamental analysis are more suitable to the huge fluctuations of financial markets which induced by subprime crisis than the results of the technical analysis. This study discussed the relationships between the returns on investments (ROIs) and financial indicators(value-based, operating performance, and financial performance) of the Taiwan Stock Exchange listed companies (which are divided by Industry, Services , Electronics, Electronic Components, Peripheral Equipment of Computer, Non-Electronic (OTC) , Electronics (OTC), Electronic Components(OTC)) from 2001 to 2010, and their statistical analysis methods are descriptive statistics, correlation, ANOVA and stepwise regression. Thus, the first purpose of this paper is to use the descriptive statistics analysis to understand the differences among the relationships between ROIs and financial indicators (value-based, operating performance, and financial performance) of different industry. And the second purpose of this paper is to use the analysis of correlation, ANOVA and stepwise regression to understand the differences among the effective financial indicators on the ROIs of the different industry which are got from the different analysis methods. The results show there are differences among the effective financial indicators on the ROIs of the different industry which are got from the analysis of descriptive statistics, correlation, ANOVA and stepwise regression methods. The effective financial indicators on the ROIs of all industries which are got from the descriptive statistics are Price-Book Ratio(P/B) and Performance. The results of Industry (which are got from the analysis of descriptive statistics, correlation, ANOVA and stepwise regression methods) are Earnings Per Share (EPS), Price, Dividend, P/B, Performance, Interest Protection Multiples, Operating Income - Paid-in Capital Ratio; The results of Services are P/B and Performance; The results of Electronics are Price, Dividend, Cash Dividends, P/B, Performance, Return on Equity(ROE), Total Asset Growth Rate; The result of Electronic Components are P/B and Performance; The result of Peripheral Equipment of Computer is P/B; The results of Non-Electronic (OTC) are P/B, Pre Tax Incom/Capital, Performance, Sales(Revenue) Growth Rate, Total asset growth rate; The results of Electronics (OTC) are P/B, Performance, ROE; The results of Electronic Components(OTC) are Price, P/B.

In this paper, we use the volume and the open interest of the TXO and weekly TXO to establish trading volume-weighted index to find the trend of market. We try to establish the relationship of the TAIEX and the trading volume-weighted index by the methodology of time series model. According to the result of the market trend index, we establish time series model to find the equilibrium state of market and build a trading strategy by following the equilibrium. We also separately adopted trading volume and open interest as trend signs to created trading volume-weighted index and put-call trading volume ratio and put-call open interest ratio which is between call and put. The empirical results show the best performance of equilibrium trading strategy of the TXO and weekly TXO are to hold one day and five days. The best performance of trading volume-weighted index strategy is to sell when signal changes. The best performance of put-call trading volume ratio strategy is to hold five days. The best performance of put-call open interest ratio strategy of weekly TXO is to sell when signal change.

The assumption that financial asset’s return follows the non-normal distribution is confirmed by many studies. However, there is no direct evidence pointing to a (Fat-Tailed Distributions) in Taiwan market index. In this study, the extreme value theory is employed to calculate the tail index of Taiwan weighted stock index. The left and right tail indices were examined to determine the distribution type and then to check whether they follow normal or Frèchet distribution. Additionally, Gauss-Newton method is used to obtain the three parameters required in estimating the extreme value theory in a non-linear regression. It is known that a low sample number would cause a decrease in the reliability of extreme distribution as well as a decrease in the precision of the estimation of parameters. To overcome this problem, a total of eleven years (1996-2006) of data were analyzed. Finally, we examine the issue whether the performance for investment portfolio based on tail indices has better performance than the market index. The empirical results indicate that both extreme value theories (BMM and POT) have confirmed the Taiwan market index has a non-normal distribution. Additional tests also indicate that it follows the Frèchet distribution. It also shows that the investment portfolios based on either type of tail index can provide better investment performance than the market index.

By the development of the computer technology, there are more and more tools for business management, like Neuralworks. Neuralworks is a data process system that simulates the brains and neural systems transportation model. Thereare many researches of this topic. But most of these researches focus on themarket index, lack of the individualstock. This research used Neuralworks which combined the technical index to predict the market and focused on theelectronic stocks.This research used KD,BIAS,RSI,AR&BR,VR, and PSY to be the technicalindex.The data range started from January fifth,1993 to December thirty first ,1997.Because Neuralworks needs to divide the data sample to be the training period andtesting period.This research set up the period(1993-1995)to be the training period and the period(1996-1997)to be the testing period.This research got three conclusions: 1. When the amplitude of the wave is more higher and the the frequency more quicker, it is more easier to operate the model.2.According the simulative result, if the buy signal numbers is close to the sell signal numbers, the result will be more efficient.3. According to 1997 simulative result, in the continued bull or bear market, it will have bad result to the analyse and predict of this model.

This study explored the relationship between investment performance and holding periods. The study samples are Taiwan Stock Index from Jan, 2 to Dec, 31 2007. The study targets on the decision system concluded by the operation of technical analysis and the innovative trading strategy, and that is in order to earn excess returns in different transaction timing. Moreover, the study applies technical diagram to forecast market movement. The results revealed that investors could earn the highest return which is according to the indicator of Moving Average Convergence and Divergence (MACD). In addition, the return will increase if the periods of measurement could be extended towards indicators of Moving average (MA) and Relative Strength Index (RSI). However, the returns in terms of innovative trading strategy are negative if we link up Youth rule with Hectometre strategy. It means that the combination strategy should link up other indicators, and that could achieve the objective of constructive investment. In respect to the researching of Old Man rule and Marathon strategy, the average return rate is up to 9% which means that both of the strategies agree with moderate investments. Furthermore, we could get better results if sample periods are extended and timing of indicators is adjusted.

The objective of the article uses the Relative Strength Index (RSI) in technological analysis to measure the investment performance of in TAIEX index options. The sample period of the TAIEX index are from July 1, 2002 to September 30, 2006 and the present and secondary transaction month of the closing prices on the call and put options. The trade strategy operate the TAIEX index with RSI to indicate the signal for in or out of the market without respect to the bear and bull markets. At a given bull market signal, the investors buy call and sell put options of the index options market. Until bull''s out signal appears, then closed position. On the contrary, at a given bear market signal, the investors sell call and buy put options of the index options market. Until bear''s out signal appears, then closed position. Finally, investment returns of the TAIEX index and the index options do the performance to compare; it is relatively good what performance is measured and probes into the relevant analysis between the two investment returns. Fitting sample linear regression model, that be used to predict return of the option with return of the TAIEX index. The empirical results show that whether taking transaction costs into account or not, investors could earn positive return from the index option market with bull naked strategy. when the RSI strategy is utilized for the bear transactions, only the call option could result in positive return. According to the study, we can conclude that the RSI is an effective index of technical analysis for the bull transactions in Taiwan Stock-Index Options.

This study uses Taiwan EMP 99 Index as the variable of good companies. Empirical period is from January 2011 to December 2013. This study uses stock characteristics such as price-to-earnings, price-to-book, and cash dividend payout ratio to rank the stocks included in the EMP 99 index and form two portfolios of the top twenty stocks and the bottom twenty stocks. The study employs CAPM (Capital Asset Pricing Model) and Fama-French three-factor model to estimate the returns of portfolios and further compare them with the returns of Taiwan EMP 99 Index and Taiwan Stock Exchange Capitalization Weighted Stock Index. The empirical results show that the portfolios including twenty stocks with the lowest price-to-earnings ratio, the lowest price-to-book, and highest cash dividend payout ratio yield higher performance than the portfolios consisting of twenty stocks with the highest price-to-earnings ratio, the highest price-to-book, and the lowest cash dividend payout ratio. The return of portfolio with the highest cash dividend ratio is better than TSEC Weighted Stock Index and the EMP 99 Index in every year of empirical period. When using a buy-and-hold strategy in continuous three-year period, the portfolios with the lowest price-to-earnings ratio and the lowest price-to-book can beat the EMP 99 index and TSEC Weighted Stock Index.

In recent years, the size of the Exchange Traded Funds (ETF) has grown continuously, which is closely related to the innovation of the Smart Beta investment strategy. The traditional passive investment uses the Cap-weighting index as the target of tracking, but when market failure or inefficiency, the traditional market cap-weighted index tends to over-weight those stocks whose market value is higher than the company''s real value,and under-weight those stocks whose market value is lower than the company''s real value This study uses one of the Smart Beta strategy - Fundamental Index investment. The period was from May 2007 to March 2018 and was divided into two periods by March 2013. Overall, the fundamental index strategy proposed by this study can create a total return that is better than the benchmark index, in which the weighted strategy of after-tax net profit has the highest total reward, followed by the cash dividend weighted strategy, and the weighted strategy of book value is poor. However, they are better than the benchmark index.The empirical results of this study show that the performance of fundamental index strategy in the first half of the period (from May 2007 to March 2013) is better, but in the second half of the period (April 2013 to March 2018), the effect is not as expected. The probable reason is that the fundamental index strategy is biased towards value investing. When the time entered into 2013, the market atmosphere turned to a rate hike environment, and the performance was not outstanding. However, in terms of risks, fundamental index strategies have the effect of reducing risks in both periods.

This thesis uses the single indicator (Moving Average Rule), the single indicator (Relative Strength Indicator)and the integrated indicator (combine Moving Average Rule and Relative Strength Indicator)to decide the timing of buying and selling based on Taiwan stock index. I test whether the performance of these trading rules are better than the buy-and-hold method. The study covers the period from January, 1991 to September, 2010. The sample period is divided to four sub-periods, 1991-1995, 1996-2000, 2001-2005 and 2006- September, 2010. In different sub-periods, I examine the performance of the trading rule. The empirical results show that the performance of the single indicator and the integrated indicator are higher than that of the buy-and-hold return. This suggests that the Taiwan stock market is not efficient in the weak-form. Moreover, the performance of the integrated indicator is higher than that of the single indicator only in 2006-2010. Thus, the integrated indicator is not necessary superior to the single indicator. Finally, the thesis finds that when the integrated indicator uses the “one long one short” strategy (short-term Moving Average Rule combine with long-term Relative Strength Indicator or long-term Moving Average Rule combine with short-term Relative Strength Indicator), the performance is higher.

The portfolio insurance strategy of Synthetic Put Option is to duplicate the option by allocating the risk property and the non-risk property. Thereupon regarding investors intends to carry out the portfolio insurance strategy, even if there does not have the existence of put option appropriately, they may implement the strategy by the way of duplication. In the thesis, it uses several periods of bull market and bear market to test the feasibility of Synthetic Put Option portfolio insurance strategy on Taiwan stock market from 1997 to 2007. It also uses technical analysis tool (mid and long-term moving average) to determine the trend of stock market, and tries to find the best parameter of dynamic M for enhancing the performance of Synthetic Put Option portfolio. The empirical evidence shows that the modified SPO portfolio insurance certainly generates better average return and performance compared to the tradition SPO, regardless of one year, two years or three years period. The inferential reasoning of Dynamic M is from two parameters λ and γ. In the thesis, it proves that the result of MSPO performance gets better while λ is getting higher, but on the other hand, γ parameter to the influence of MSPO performance is not outstanding.

This study analysis investment strategy, using CAPM to calculate the intercepts of the TSEC Taiwan 50 Index component stocks over the period July first 2005 through July first 2007. Our investment strategy as follows: when relative daily returns of stock over empirical period are less than the difference between relative daily returns and corresponding standard deviations times n (which equal 1.5, 1.75, and 2) of the same stock over test period, we buy stock and short sell TAIEX simultaneously. After relative daily returns of stock over empirical period are more than the difference between relative daily returns and corresponding standard deviations times 0.5, we close our position. The result shows that if we implement this investment strategy every season, and consider transaction costs, we can get 9.23% (n=1.5), 11.28% (n=1.75), and 13.03% (n=2) returns one year. Comparing to other investment strategies, our investment strategy has two advantages: simply worked and simple understand.

The Taipei Exchange 50 Index aims top 50 component stocks selected after weighing the market value of the over-the-counter stocks as the sampling targets. The component stocks with big weighed value might lead to a great portion of change of the component stocks of the Taipei Exchange 50 Index, due to their alteration of being listed in the stock market. Consequently, based on the information of the component stocks of the Taipei Exchange 50 Index, we apply the Stochastic Dominance Approach (Barrett and Donald, 2003) to examine the analysis of investment performance of the semiconductor, computer and peripheral devices, optoelectronics as well as biotechnology and medicine industries, endowed with the Stochastic dominance and screen the targets which boast of the superior investment return. The period for the collection of the study data commences from January 1, 2010 to December 31, 2014. The results suggest that in terms of the examination by the Stochastic Dominance Approach, no matter when the stage is, for example, the first stage, which only considers the preference of the investors for the return rate of the risk type, the second stage, which adds the risk consideration of the investment decision-maker and the third stage, which further inputs the positive risk preference factor of the investment decision-maker, still only PixArt Imaging Inc. in the semiconductor industry is endowed with the three-stage Stochastic dominance in comparison to the computer and peripheral devices industry, the optoelectronics industry and the biotechnology & medicine industry. Accordingly, PixArt Imaging Inc. in the semiconductor industry achieves the best performance in this study, mainly due to its long-term concentration on the development of new technology and applications, its precise grasp of the market trends, its aggressive conduction of the product layout and its focus on the research and development of resources, so that their products all conform to the cost effect of production. It indicates that PixArt Imaging Inc. is an investment target, typical of row risk and stable return.

This paper will apply James O’shaughnessy and comprehensive index selection methods to the stock market in Taiwan. The purpose of this paper is to explore the relationship between financial statements and stock prices used in the stock market investment. James O'shaughnessy stock selection method and comprehensive index stock selection method utilize genetic algorithms to perform the optimization of the threshold value, and this study also compares return of investment with three distinct fundamental stock selection rules which are “original James O'shaughnessy”, “optimization James O'shaughnessy” and “optimization comprehensive index” selection methods. During the nine years through backtesting, the empirical results of Taiwan stock market indicate that the investment performance of the original James O'shaughnessy stock selection method is substantially not worse than the optimization James O'shaughnessy stock selection method. As a result, for example based on James O'Shaughnessy, its financial ratios threshold for investors to use in Taiwan stock market is unable to deny the applicability. Finally, the average returns performance of using the genetic algorithm optimization index selection method is the best relative to the empirical investment performance of previous two other selection methods, and investors may earn more profits with applying this method.

After Harry M. Markowitz introduced Mean-Variance Optimization with Efficient Frontier and Best Capital Portfolio in 1952, many scholars have went further research to improve this principle. This paper uses a grey forecasting model GM(1,1) on improving the investment performance of classical Markowitz efficiency frontier’s investment portfolio using the component securities of Dow Jones Industry Index from 1999 to 2005 as the samples.Using grey Markowitz efficiency frontier’s investment portfolio models, we establish a more stable and correct connection between ex-ante model and ex-post performance. This research uses Sharpe Index, Treynor Index and Jensen’s Index to measure the returns of efficiency frontier’s investment portfolio. The results show the Grey Markowitz efficiency frontier investment portfolio model could improve the investment performance effectively and stably. Especially, a grey Markowitz investment portfolio model D using grey variance and grey covariance, is the best one that constructs a more stable and correct connection between ex-ante model and ex-post performance. The author uses the T test and the empirical result of this thesis shows that the whitening data from GM(1,1) can do that.

The purpose of this research is make a simulation as an empirical study through the short-term volatility and the long-term volatility, to find out the turning point of the Taiwan Stock-Index Options Market by the approach and out signals with these two indicators. And hope to get additional compensation in the market. As the observation period from 1/1/2005 to 12/31/2006, Two of in-the-money strike price and five of out-the-money strike price to the sample, use 2-10 days for the Short-term volatility and 3-20 days for the long-term volatility to study. In bull strategy it is approach signal when the Short-term volatility break up the long-term volatility, and the out signal when the Short-term volatility down below the long-term volatility. Analysis and find out the operation strategy of the Short-term volatility and the long-term volatility from the most profitable of these four basic strategies:buy call, sell put, sell call and buy put. And enter the test period from 1/1/2007 to 12/31/2007, divided into “considering transaction costs” and “without consider transaction costs” these two kinds of situations. To verify if the best operation strategy in observation period apply to the test period. In addition, in order to avoid can not buy for less turn over the study all set numbers of the turn over must be more then 1000, to meet with the reality of the situation. The results found the operation sarategy of sell put and buy put got the excess reward of consistency, whether considering transaction costs or not, but it caused inconsistent situation of observation period profit and test period loss by the operation strategy of buy call and sell call. The buy call and sell call could not get excess reward in test period, for this point, further analysis found that there were two decline more then 1500 points in 2007(July and November),which were never happened in 2005 and 2006,coupled with the loss of time, caused the poor earnings of buy call. As for the sell call of bear strategy, it was used 7 days for the Short-term volatility and 20 days for the long-term volatility, and reflect the huge fluctuations were slower in 2007 because of the longer volatility, so it was the reason for the loss.

The 2013 Corporate Governance Roadmap of the Taiwan Financial Supervisory Commission (FSC) considered corporate governance evaluation as one of the key tasks and started the evaluation for all Taiwan-listed companies from 2014, it shows how important the measures of effectiveness of a corporate governance system is. Since family firm is a typical structure in Taiwan, the impact of family firms on company performance is worth exploring. For a sample of 5,174 observations over the period of 2009〜2014, this study investigated the impact of corporate governance and family firms on corporate performance. The empirical results appear that when firms from either single facet or comprehensive index of corporate governance which demonstrated good corporate governance are able to make corporate performance get improved. However, the family firms have a significant negative impact on a firm’s accounting performance, but inversely positive effect on the market performance, which it reflected the differences between the accounting performance and market. In addition, this study further examines whether firms with good comprehensive index of corporate governance have a better share price, the results show a firm with good corporate governance has a better return on investment (ROI) than TAIEX. Finally, the sample firms are separated into two groups: family and non-family and the results indicate that non-family businesses with good corporate governance have a better share price.

This study uses a grey forecasting model GM(1,1) on technical analysis of securities market using the Nikkei 225 Index’s component stocks for example. Four stocks price technical analysis indexes as KD, RSI, BIAS and W%R are used in this study. The daily, weekly and monthly closing stock prices from January 1998 to December 2007 (after the weight is undone) are adopted as the sample data. This study try to apply GM(1,1) into the raw data to obtain a the whitening one. An empirical result and a t-test of average rate of return were used in performance evaluation. The results show that eleven of twelve technical analysis indexes can improve the performance of investment over 50% than classic ones. And especially daily-BIAS and daily-W%R can improve the performance of investment over 60%. The post-GM(1,1) treatment of technical analysis can’t obtain extra profit than buy and hold strategy. The efficient market hypothesis (EMH) in Japan stocks market cannot be rejected. But obviously the results find that the performance of investment of post-GM(1,1) treatment were better than those of pre-GM(1,1) treatment. And the investors in Japan can use the technical analysis indexes of post-GM(1,1) treatment to obtain higher investment returns.

Abstract:
Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) is a much debated and ever changing topic. From a South African context, one of the most recent means of measuring CSR has been through the use of the Johannesburg Stock Exchange (JSE) socially responsible investment index (SRII). The JSE SRII was first introduced in 2004 and has grown in popularity and effectiveness since. Included amongst the criteria for inclusion in this index is compliance with black economic empowerment (BEE). The index measures companies against the triple bottom line (environment, society&economy). Companies included in the index are deemed to have good CSR practices. This study evaluates the effects of CSR on the corporate financial performance (CFP) of the top 100 listed companies on the JSE over a 10 year period (2002-2011). The findings of the study suggest that companies not included in the SRII, on average, perform better than SRII companies. The basis of this conclusion is on the analysis of the results of the total return index (TRI), return on assets ratio (ROA) and the net profit margin percentage (NPM).

Using the daily, weekly and monthly data of the DAX Index's Component Stocks from January 2003 to March 2009 as examples, this thesis try to improve the investment performance of technical analysis indices in Germany Stocks Exchange Market. First of all, this thesis whitens original data through a grey model GM (1,1), and grey technical analysis indices are obtained. I use traditional technical analysis indices like RSI, BIAS, KD, and WMS%R as agency indices; compare the investment performance between original and grey technical analysis indices. Based on the empirical results, I find: Ten of twelve technical analysis indexes can improve the investment performance over 57% than the original ones which significant at 95%. Especially daily, weekly, and monthly BIAS can improve the investment performance over 77%. Obviously the results indicate that the investment performance after GM(1,1) treatment are better than those of pre-GM(1,1) treatment. And investors can use the grey technical analysis indexes to obtain higher investment returns in Germany Stocks Exchange Market. But due to almost the pre and post-GM(1,1) treatment of technical analysis can’t obtain extra profit than the buy-and-hold strategy (BHS), the weak-form efficiency market hypothesis (EMH) in Germany Stocks Exchange Market could not be rejected significantly.
