Noe: Underlyng daa are from Bloomberg Termnal and World Bank daabase hp://daa.worldbank.org/ndcaor/bn.klt.txl.cd?locaons=ma The concep of msprcng of equy porfolos has long been a major ssue n he leraure. Fama and French 1993 for nsance reveal ha ess of classcal asse prcng models such as he capal asse prcng model CAM he consumpon-based capal asse prcng model CCAM and he neremporal capal asse prcng model CAM mplcly rely on an assumpon of marke effcency whch perms he subsuon of realzed reurns 4

Jegadeesh and Tman 1993 and Brennan and Wang 2006 for nsance fnd posve auocorrelaon of ndvdual sock reurns a he 6-12 monh horzon whch s conssen wh he slow adjusmen o frm specfc news documened n a large number of sudes. Jegadeesh and Tman 1995 and Musapha 2015 fnd evdence ha sock prces end o over-reac o frm specfc nformaon such as volaly. Some sudes found ha sock reurns co-vary wh he sae of sock marke lqudy for example ásor and Sambaugh 2003 Acharya and edersen 2005 and Sadka 2006 whle sudes ha show ha unancpaed ncrease n marke llqudy and senmen affec he level of equy prces nclude Lee and Swamnahan 2000 Swamnahan 1996 and Amhud Based on hs evdence ha sock msprcng s crucal o successful nvesmen on he exchange as s caused by marke specfc characerscs and hugely deermnes he aracveness of he sock marke o porfolo nvesmen flows herefore he objecve of hs paper s o examne he presence of msprcng n equy porfolos and demonsrae he relaonshp beween msprcng and nvesmen n Afrcan Sock Exchanges. n hs regard hs paper focuses on four Afrcan Exchanges Johannesburg Sock Exchange JSE Ngeran Sock Exchange NSE Egypan Sock Exchange ESE and Casablanca Sock Exchange CSE. The resuls confrm fndngs of earler sudes ha msprcng s nfluenced by sock lqudy and volaly. The msprcng nvesmen relaon shows ha msprcng effecs are promnen on medum- and small-sze porfolos n he Casablanca and Ngeran Sock Exchanges whle he effec appears noceable n bg-sze socks n he Egypan sock marke.

Msprcng of Eques 6 French and Roll 1986 sugges ha on average of 4 o 12 percen of he daly reurn varance of common sock reurns s due o msprcng. 5

8 The leraure on msprcng s vas bu hs sudy wll hghlgh jus a few of hem. De Bond and Thaler 1985 and 1987 fnd a long run reversal of pror sock prce changes. They nerpre he reversal as correcons of over-reacons o news. Jegadeesh and Tman 1993 buress her poson by usng he NYSE and AMEX socks. The same auhors 1995 reveal ha sock prces end o over-reac o frm specfc nformaon such as volaly dsbursemen of dvdends and radng volume. Lee and Swamnahan 2000 show ha low/hgh sock radng volumes end o be under/over-valued by he marke. Meanwhle Amhud 2002 demonsraes ha an unexpeced ncrease n marke llqudy reduces sock prce levels. ásor and Sambaugh 2003 ndcae ha sock reurns are affeced by he sae of sock marke lqudy a clam suppored by Acharya and edersen 2005 and Sadka Msprcng and nvesmen Relaonshp Copous leraure affrms ha sock prces reflec he margnal produc of capal where frms nves unl he marke value of he exsng capal asses equals her replacemen cos Branard and Tobn 1968; Tobn Meanwhle some sudes show ha sock valuaon has lmed power n explanng shocks o nvesmen n socks see von Fursenberg 1977; Clark 1979; Summers Recen sudes concluded ha he sock marke has a sgnfcan effec on nvesmen decson beyond ha of he fundamenal varables such as cash flows Barro 1990; Chrnko and Schaller 2001 and Mohammed Essenally numerous researches have been conduced on msprcng and msprcng nvesmen relaon. Sudes on msprcng have esablshed ha news marke lqudy and frm specfc nformaon such as volaly causes msprcng n sock prces and porfolo of equy reurns. These sudes concenrae on developed markes such ha researches on developng markes reman ndescrbable. Furhermore sudes examnng he causal effec beween sock msprcng and changes n nvesmen are severely lmed for Afrcan sock markes afer he pos fnancal crss. Ths paper addresses hese wo ssues usng seleced Afrcan equy markes. 3 Mehodology and Daa 3.1 Daa The daa used for he frs and second quesons conss of daly average reurns of seleced eques of four Afrcan equy exchanges Souh Afrca Ngera Egyp and Morocco. The choce of hese exchanges s premsed on he fac ha hey hghly araced nvesors n he 6

The choce n he selecon of socks s based on prce connuy. The daa were colleced on a daly bass and sock reurns generaed from he prces usng equaon 3. orfolos are sored no bgsze/hgh-volume medum-sze/medum-volume. and small-sze/low-volume based on frm s capalzaon and volaly. The analyses were done separaely for each marke and sock reurns were averaged on a daly bass. Daa on sock prces volume and capalzaon and marke capalzaon were used and garnered from he webses of hese sock exchanges excep ha Egyp sock daa are from he Reuers ermnal durng he perod 5 January 2010 o 30 December The daa are close o daly frequency.

They nclude models assumng ha msprcng s ndependen of fundamenals and follows a smple frs-order auoregressve model see oerba and Summers Models ha assume ha msprcng s due o slow adjusmen of marke prces o new nformaon Dmson 1979; Brennan e al. 1993; Brennan and Wang 2006 and models demonsrang ha msprcng s assocaed wh a marke-wde msprcng facor Fama and French 1993; Brennan and Wang The models ha assume msprcng s assocaed wh a marke-wde msprcng facor s also called he model of sysemac msprcng. One major focus of hs paper s o asceran he presence of msprcng n porfolos of eques n Afrcan markes. Therefore wll be que approprae o consder marke facors drvng msprcng and generang a marke-wde msprcng facor. Essenally hs paper adops a sysemac msprcng approach o examne he exsence of msprcng n porfolos of eques n seleced Afrcan markes: JSE NSE ESE and CSE. Emprcal evdence shows ha mos promnen marke facors drvng msprcng n socks are lqudy and volaly Lee e al. 2000; and Acharya e al Accordng o Archarya e al hese facors have caused msprcng relave o a gven raonal prcng model. Agan sudes have revealed ha socks are msprced relave o he classcal asse 7

10 prcng models. 7 Ths evdence enables he sudy o specfy a rsk-augmened CAM o valdae he presence of msprcng n he porfolo of seleced Afrcan eques. The facors consdered for he augmenaon are average frms lqudy and volaly. The prncpal regresson model s herefore specfed n equaon 1 as follows: R R vol j j0 1 j mk 2 j 3 j j where R lq R lq and vol are excess porfolo reurns marke reurns lqudy measure mk proxy wh daly average change n volume of frm s ransacons and average frms sysemac volaly.

Table 2a shows he esmaed resuls of porfolos sored by lqudy whle Table 2b presens esmaes of porfolos havng been conrolled for volaly. n Table 2a he magnude of he varance rao declned monooncally from large o small number of days whle he volaly of resdual reurns ncreased accordngly. Ths relaonshp was expeced and suggess ha he volaly of resdual reurns s drven by he frequency of equy radng. For equy porfolos raded whn a few days he volaly of resdual reurns decreased whch mples ha he msprcng rsk assocaed wh equy reurns of porfolos regardless of porfolo sze declnes as socks are frequenly raded. Ths behavour was found n all he counres excep n some rval cases such as bg and medum-sze porfolos n Egyp ha move conrary o hs relaonshp. The resul s n lne wh he fndngs of Gemmll and Thomas 2002 and Brennan and Wang 2006 whch repored ha msprcng reurn bas decreases ncreases n he varance rao and o ncrease decrease n resdual reurn volaly. Gemmll and Thomas 2002 used closed end funds as he underlyng asse whle he socks regsered on he New York Sock Exchange AMEX and NASDAQ were used n he work of Brennan e al The msprcng analyss s based on he varance rao usng varous numbers of days and 20 days. The resuls n anel A of Table 2a conan esmaes of wo counres Egyp and Morocco. Wh he rsk-augmened CAM he msprcng n he bg-sze porfolo declnes drascally as he frequency of radng days rse n Egyp socks. n fac he msprcng aenuaed when he porfolos are raded every 5 days and repored as n he cell. A smlar rend was observed for he small-sze porfolo whereas he medum-sze porfolo shows a dfferen paern wh ncreased msprcng. Ths mples ha nvesors akng posons n he Egypan sock marke should order porfolos wh more of bg- and small-sze socks o overcome he mpac of msprcng on equy porfolo reurns. n he Casablanca sock marke he bg and medum-sze porfolos yelded beer resuls compared o a small-sze porfolo. Holders of bg-sze porfolos should no boher abou msprcng n her porfolos as long as hey rade hs porfolo on a regular bass of a leas 5 days nerval on he average. Resuls for Ngera and Souh Afrca are documened n anel B. n Ngera holders of medum- and small- 10

13 sze porfolos ha are frequenly raded should no be scared of msprcng effecs. The resuls of hese wo porfolos show ha porfolo msprcng s ransen on hgh-frequency radng and converge quckly o he mean as s close o uny he coeffcens for medum- and smallsze porfolos are and respecvely. The bg-sze porfolo has low coeffcens of he varance rao compared o oher porfolos and needs o be raded more frequenly especally on daly bass as converges lae o uny. For Ngera hese resuls come as no surprse because of poor rang sysem and he usual hab of buy and hold sraegy of speculave nvesors. The suaon dffers n he Souh Afrcan marke because he resuls of he bg-sze porfolo ndcae absence of msprcng. Here msprcng n he porfolo dsappears very quckly even for speculave nvesors adopng a buy and hold sraegy. Alhough for hs porfolo here s msprcng f radng delays for hree weeks however hs msprcng s shor-lved and he effec s rval on expeced porfolo reurns. nvesors akng posons n medum-sze socks may have her porfolo reurns unaffeced by msprcng see Table 2a. The medum-sze porfolos show ransen msprcng n all perods. There s an absence of msprcng f he porfolo s raded a less han 5-day nervals. For small-sze porfolos he msprcng resul s no dfferen from he medum-sze ones. These fndngs sugges ha s possble for he msprcng n porfolo o become neglgble as long as he porfolo s raded on a daly bass. The msprcng behavour n Souh Afrca shows ha he Johannesburg Sock Exchange s lkely o be more effcen o prce dscovery compared o oher sock markes consdered n he sudy. Table 2b conans he esmaes of msprcng when porfolo reurns are sored hrough sysemac volaly for he four exchanges. Havng conrolled for marke specfc volaly he varance raos for ndvdual socks are sll very nosy owng o ncreased volales n mos cases and hence porfolo average varance rao esmaes are very wde rangng from o for he Egypan Sock Exchange; from o for he Casablanca Sock Exchange; from o for he Ngeran Sock Exchange; and from o for he Souh Afrcan Sock Exchange. From he resuls he Souh Afrcan esmaes change sgnfcanly n comparson o when porfolos are sored on he bass of lqudy. There s clear ransen msprcng n all he hree porfolos bu he msprcngs are shor-lved as long as porfolos are frequenly raded advsedly whn 24 hours. The robusness of resuls n Annexure 2 were esmaed hrough alernave specfcaon he Black CAM. Ths s a verson of CAM ha gnores he mpac of he rskless asses. s apparen from he resuls ha msprcng n socks s sronger for all porfolos excep for Souh Afrca s bg-sze porfolo. The resuls corroborae wh French and 11

14 Roll 1986 who found msprcng effecs on he daly reurn varance of common sock o hover around 4 o 12 percen on average. The esmaes of he volaly of resdual reurns show ha ndvdual socks on he JSE are very nosy comparable o oher selec exchanges. Ths s evden wh hgh levels of volaly n boh lqudy- and volaly-sored porfolos. Neverheless s srkng ha for 20 ou 24 porfolos he resuls of VR 5 show ha msprcngs are shor-lved.

The posve over-valuaon dvesmen relaon suggess ha as over-valuaon declnes n sock porfolo reurns nvesmen ncreases as dvesmen falls. The resuls of he medum and small porfolos show over-valuaon effecs on dvesmen whch ndcaes ha nvesors wll sgnfcanly dves medum and small porfolos as msprcng ncreases. n hs case he ransen msprcng causes dvesmen n medum and small sock porfolos.

Meanwhle msprcng shows a negave coeffcen whch mples ha he ransen msprcng canno cause dvesmen n medum and small socks. These resuls can be because he sample conans many under-valued socks whch n effec ouwegh he effec of over-valuaon. n crss under-valued socks apprecae and hus ncrease reurns. Holders of such socks prefer o go long on and even wsh o ncrease her sake whch n urn drves sock prces hgher unl he marke equlbrum s aaned. Therefore s expeced ha he msprcng effec could ncrease nvesmen raher ha reducng. n he Ngeran Sock Exchange sock msprcng and over-valuaon sgnfcanly ncrease dvesmen n bg socks. Ths manfess from he sgnfcan posve coeffcens presened n anel C. The ransen msprcng and over-valuaon are less mporan o deermnng dvesmen n medum sock porfolos as he coeffcens are no sgnfcan. n small socks over-valuaon causes dvesmen bu he msprcng effec s no clear. These resuls ndcae ha nvesors should be long on medum- and small-sze socks n order o ncrease radng reurns on he Exchange. s also crcal o frequenly rade he bg-sze porfolo socks o reducng msprcng and over-valuaon effecs. anel D conans he Souh Afrcan resuls. The resuls show ha rrespecve of he porfolo sze he ransen msprcng does no cause dvesmens bu over-valuaon sgnfcanly does. The posve relaonshps beween over-valuaon and dvesmen for all porfolo szes show ha as socks are overvalued durng crses nvesors end o drop he socks for under-valued socks nernal dvesmen. Essenally he mpac of msprcng on dvesmen under-nvesmen shows mxed resuls. Dvesmen n bg socks can be caused by he ransen msprcng parcularly ndcaed for Morocco and Ngera. Meanwhle dvesmens n medum and small sock porfolos are caused by msprcng n Egyp. Ths effec does no hold for socks on he Moroccan Ngeran and Souh Afrcan Sock Exchanges. Therefore he msprcng dvesmen relaon s more promnen n bg-sze porfolos. 13
