Abstract

Building on the assumptions that investors are heterogeneous and that not all of them are fully rational, the market for trading any financial instrument can be separated into several segments, each associated with a different investment horizon. Thus, the expected return on an asset for each horizon maintains a different functional relationship with an expected market return. In other words, the trading of an asset by investors with heterogeneous investment horizons results in the coexistence of multiple security market lines. This proposed theory, which offers an alternative interpretation of investment behavior from that of the capital asset pricing model (CAPM) and the efficient markets hypothesis (EMH), is verified by using the newly introduced amalgamated discrete wavelet transform.
