Mutual Fund Performance Evaluation With Active Peer Benchmarks Of Domestic Equity Funds In Thailand, Pornthip Supasinthanaphat
Chulalongkorn University Theses and Dissertations (Chula ETD)
We use the active peer benchmarks (APB) methodology suggested by Hunter et al. (2014) to capture commonalities or common idiosyncratic noise in fund strategies. These commonalities cannot be captured by the Carhart 4-factor model and it also decreases the accuracy in fund performance evaluation. Firstly, we examine the efficiency of the APB methodology compared with the Carhart 4-factor model. Then we also use the APB methodology to evaluate the performance of actively managed Thai open-end domestic equity funds from January 2006 through December 2020. In the APB methodology, we focus on two dimensions: fund returns and the fund’s investment objectives. …

Do Issuers Affect Derivative Warrants Overpricing? Evidence Of Thailand, Sarunporn Thupthong
Chulalongkorn University Theses and Dissertations (Chula ETD)
Derivative warrants have become increasingly popular in many countries. However, numerous literatures provide the empirical evidences that derivative warrants are overpriced relative to the comparable options. Many researchers found that the derivative warrant overpricing can be explained by hedging cost, liquidity premium, market power, and asymmetric information of investors. These explanations are likely to be related to characteristics of derivative warrant issuer. Therefore, this paper comes up with the objective to reconfirm the overpricing phenomenon in Thailand and investigate the issuer identity effect on the derivative warrant overpricing as well as examine what issuer’s characteristics cause the level of overpricing …
