Abstract

We present an explicit framework for horizon based investing that results in superior expected risk adjusted returns and lower turnover. The framework includes a means of empirically determining an expected horizon and its confidence intervals, an alpha model structure linking horizon with the inter-arrival rate of information, and a Fama-MacBeth forecasting model.
