Mutual fund managers' skills, measured by risk-adjusted alphas, are predictable using fund characteristics identified by machine learning (e.g., Kaniel et al., 2023, JFE; DeMiguel et al., 2023, JFE). However, alpha's predictive power varies across funds and periods, with most funds exhibiting negligible alphas. To model this heterogeneous predictability, this paper introduces Sparse Clustering GMM, a nonparametric approach for uncovering latent fund groups. SCGMM clusters funds using estimated alphas and identifies group-specific parameters tied to market predictors. The method accounts for heterogeneity in cross-sectional grouping and time-varying mechanisms across predictors, without requiring prior cluster information or time-varying specifications. We establish consistency for group recovery and time-varying parameter estimation. Empirically, using monthly U.S. mutual fund data, we find that predictable alpha is concentrated in a small subset of funds, with the majority of funds exhibiting near-zero, weakly predictable alphas. The skilled clusters also exhibit lower benchmark R^2, moderate expense ratios, and longer manager tenure.
资产定价中机器学习预测的不确定性
Machine learning in asset pricing typically predicts expected returns as point estimates, ignoring uncertainty. We develop new methods to construct forecast confidence intervals for expected returns obtained from neural networks. We show that neural network forecasts of expected returns share the same asymptotic distribution as classic nonparametric methods, enabling a closed-form expression for their standard errors. We also propose a computationally feasible bootstrap to…
神经网络资产定价中的显著性检验
This study proposes a novel hypothesis test for evaluating the statistical significance of input variables in multi-layer perceptron (MLP) regression models. Theoretical foundations are established through consistency results and estimation rate analysis using the sieves method. To validate the test’s performance in complex and realistic settings, an extensive Monte Carlo simulation is conducted. Results of the simulation reveal that the test has a high power and low rate of…

This study proposes a novel estimation-based approach to solving asset pricing models for both stationary and time-varying observations. Our method is robust to misspecification errors while inheriting a closed-form solution. By representing the Euler equation into a well-posed integral equation of the second kind, we propose a penalized two-stage nonparametric estimation method and establish its optimal convergence under mild conditions. With the merit of penalized splines,…
Investment-based asset pricing models typically predict a close link between a firm’s stock return and its characteristics at any point in time. Yet, previous studies have primarily focused on the weaker prediction that this link holds on average, finding substantial empirical support. We show how to incorporate the time-series predictions in the estimation and testing of investment-based models using the generalized method of moments. We find that standard specifications of…
时变风险溢价下用于股票收益预测的惩罚两步回归
We develop a penalized two-pass regression with time-varying factor loadings. The penalization in the first pass enforces sparsity for the time-variation drivers while also maintaining compatibility with the no-arbitrage restrictions by regularizing appropriate groups of coefficients. The second pass delivers risk premia estimates to predict equity excess returns. Our Monte Carlo results and our empirical results on a large cross-sectional data set of US individual stocks…
