But implementation can be tricky, as investors struggle to quantify their hunches.In The Black–Litterman Approach and Views from Predictive Regressions: Theory and Implementation , Katarína Lucivjanskáj and Alois Geyer augment the Black–Litterman approach with predictive regression. “We can use predictors such as a price-to-earnings ratio or dividend yield to form our subjective views.” explains Lucivjanská.The authors study more than 40 years of data from seven countries to understand the predictive power of p/e and dividend yield for the various markets to create informed subjective views to guide asset allocation. Given a suitable predictor, they find that a combination of an equilibrium model with predictive regression, followed by subjective analysis, can lead to enhanced results. ER -
