Which of the following assumptions is NOT necessary to derive the APT?A)
|
The factor portfolios are efficient. |
| B)
|
Investors can create diversified portfolios with no firm-specific risk. |
| C)
|
A factor model describes asset returns. |
|
The APT is an equilibrium model that assumes that investors can create diversified portfolios and that a factor model describes asset returns. It does NOT require that factor portfolios (nor, as in the capital asset pricing model [CAPM], the market portfolio) be efficient. In effect, the APT assumes investors simply like more money to less, while the CAPM assumes they care about expected return and standard deviation and invest in efficient portfolios. The APT makes no reference to mean-variance analysis or assumptions about efficient portfolios. This weaker set of assumptions is an advantage of the APT over the CAPM. |
