Precificação de ativos sob qualquer distribuição de retornos: a derivação e aplicação do Omega Capital Asset Pricing Model (OCAPM)

Abstract

This dissertation proposes a new version for the well-known CAPM, the Omega CAPM. This new model has a simpler sufficient condition than the mean-variance efficiency required on the CAPM. Thus, restriction regarding utility functions and returns distributions are not required. Besides that, our model allows assets to have different distribution amongst themselves. The OCAPM considers all superior moments indirectly, i.e. they do not have to be calculated or observed by investors and it maintains the single factor simplicity and the theoretical rigor of the original model. On an empirical point of view, the OCAPM was superior to the CAPM, the model obtained coefficients which ware more consistent with the theory. Moreover, we showed that the OCAPM adds information of the expected returns that are not considered by the CAPM. Nevertheless, we do not reject any of the models, we just show that the OCAPM is superior.
