Trading costs of asset pricing anomalies
Results vary across styles, with value and momentum being more scalable than size, and short-term reversals being the most constrained by trading costs. We conclude that the main anomalies to standard asset pricing models are robust, implementable, and sizeable. Trading Costs of Asset Pricing Anomalies – Page 2 Empirical asset pricing studies largely focus on the expected gross returns of assets, without taking transaction costs into account. For investors, however, the net of transaction costs returns are the critical input for investment decisions. Trading Costs of Asset Pricing Anomalies. This paper explores the implications of transaction costs for the measured profitability of various asset-pricing anomalies. While standard portfolios Using nearly a trillion dollars of live trading data from a large institutional money manager across 19 developed equity markets over the period 1998 to 2011, we measure the real-world transactions costs and price impact function facing an

Using nearly a trillion dollars of live trading data from a large institutional money manager across 19 developed equity markets over the period 1998 to 2011, we measure the real-world transactions costs and price impact function facing an The real costs paid by large investors to implement the well-identified size, value, and momentum anomalies are lower than what has been documented in the previous studies. We find that the average investor pays an annual transaction cost of 17bps for size, 24bps for value, and 274bps for momentum. proprietary trading data, our estimates reflect the all-in costs of implementing factor strategies, and they apply equally well for past and modern market environments (for which Lesmond, Og- den, and Trzcinka (1999)’s zero-trading day measure fails). asset pricing anomalies documented in the literature. Using nearly $1 trillion of live trading data from a large institutional money manager across 19 developed equity markets from 1998 to 2011, we approximate the trading costs of a large arbitrageur.

We conclude that the main anomalies to standard asset pricing models are robust, implementable, and sizeable. We examine the trading costs, net-of-cost returns and break-even fund sizes of equity strategies designed to capture several of the main asset pricing anomalies documented in the literature.

Anomalies could be the result of data mining, disappear when trading costs are taken into account, be a compensation for a particular form of risk, or have a behavioral explanation. The motivation of this research project is to gain more and better insight into possible explanations for well-known asset pricing anomalies. proprietary trading data to analyze the transactions costs for a single firm (e.g., Keim and Mad- havan (1997), Engle, Ferstenberg, and Russell (2012), and Frazzini, Israel, and Moskowitz (2015)). Although selected firms are almost by definition not representative of asset managers as a whole, Using over a trillion dollars of live trading data from a large institutional money manager across 21 developed equity markets over a 16-year period, we measure the real-world transactions costs and price impact function facing an arbitrageur and apply them to trading strategies based on empirical asset pricing anomalies. Abstract We study the after-trading-cost performance of anomalies, and effectiveness of trans- action cost mitigation techniques. Introducing a buy/hold spread, with more stringent re- quirements for establishing positions than for maintaining them, is the most effective cost mitigationtechnique. Anomaly: An anomaly is a term describing the incidence when the actual result under a given set of assumptions is different from the expected result. An anomaly provides evidence that a given
