Abstract

This chapter uses the fundamental asset pricing theorem to derive new conditional stochastic discount factor-based performance measures. The proposed setting is suitable to perform (un)conditional evaluations of fixed-weight and dynamic strategies of hybrid emerging market mutual funds. The empirical framework and the associated performance statistical tests in a GMM framework are also developed and discussed.
