...Portfolio Modeling and Evaluation: Beating the Market ABSTRACT During the period of 2005 to 2010, the market portfolio (P1) and one suggested portfolio (P3) post a positive absolute return of 0.80% and 0.82% respectively which underperformed the active fund portfolio (P2) 0.91%. This report follows various modeling methods in order to back test the performance of the active fund portfolio and compare its performance with that of two other portfolios. The findings indicate that, even though P2 achieves the highest return on the overall performance, the limitations such as the macro environment, the assumptions set, and the Shrinkage method used that accidentally downsizes some valuable stocks in out-‐samples as they are closely correlated are being ignored. By contrast, P3 will probably offer a “middle-‐choice” which will bring a promising and more stable return. 1 Portfolio...

...University of Phoenix November 7, 2011 Kevin Wilhelmsen Merck’s Business Environment There are many factors a business, such as Merck, must have in order to be successful, for example strong financial statements, leading technology, and globalization. With the help of income statements, balance sheets, and cash flow statements, a financial analysis can be applied in a wide variety of situations to give business managers the information they need to make critical decisions (Financial Analysis, 2010). They also provide information in regards to the financial health of a company. Pharmaceutical companies are using technology to conduct clinical trials, which has proven to be beneficial to research, development, and the introduction of new products. Globalization is also important for Merck when it comes to product distribution. Outsourcing was been adopted by Merck in order to produce equal quality vaccines and medications at a cheaper cost. Review of Finances Analyzing a company’s income statement, balance sheet, and cash flow is a prime way in determining their success. A comparison can be made between the competition in the industry and a leader can be established. An analysis can also show which company is spending more on research and development and in turn, producing better products. After review of the income statements, Merck’s worldwide sales were $12 billion for the third quarter this year, an increase of...

...requires a strategic manager who can effectively and successfully drive strategic objectives, then report its performance to the leadership team (Thompson & Strickland, 2013). This paper will examine how Pfizer utilized growth, innovation and execution strategies as well as acquisitions and mergers to become the number one global pharmaceutical company. The organization’s SWOT analysis (Thompson & Strickland, 2013) showed its strength in being innovative, opportunities to create more products, weakness in its dependence on successful products, and threats in generic competition and regulatory laws. The company’s corporate culture, strategic innovative through the top-down leadership approach, a unified tagline “OWN IT!” (Pfizer, 2013), and a strategy map demonstrates that all employees are ultimately responsible for their individual roles to drive success throughout the organization. Additionally, this paper will present a student created strategy map identifying areas the organization reports on annually.

We performed various analyses, which included strategy analysis, fundamental analysis, valuation, and risk assessment. Our absolute valuation calculation shows that Eli Lilly is slightly undervalued however; our relative valuation calculation shows that Eli Lilly is fairly valued. We decided to use the relative valuation recommendation because of the risk that is involved in the industry today. Current risk factors that are threatening Eli Lilly are the FDA approval process, patent expirations, pipeline concerns, the purchase of Imclone and how it will be integrated into the company, and finally the ongoing recession. Eli Lilly currently has drugs pending FDA approval, notably Effient, a...

...PHARMACEUTICAL INDUSTRY RESEARCH PAPER Submitted By RAKESHKUMAR PATEL NILAMBEN PATEL MONROE COLLEGE NOVEMBER 19, 2012 MG 620 RESEARCHES FOR STATISTICS Presented to DR. ANNE WALSH ABSTRACT The United States is the world’s largest market for pharmaceuticals and the world leader in biopharmaceutical research. U.S. firms conduct 80 percent of the world’s research and development in biotechnology and hold the intellectual property rights to most new medicines. In 2010, the pharmaceutical sector employed approximately 272,000 people (source: Bureau of Labor Statistics), and according to the Pharmaceutical Research and Manufacturers of America (Parma), those manufacturers spent $67.4 billion on research and development in 2010. The markets for biologics, over-the-counter (OTC) medicines, and generics show the most potential for growth and have become increasingly competitive. Biologics, valued at $67 billion in 2010 (source: IMS Health), account for a quarter of all new drugs in clinical trials or awaiting Food and Drug Administration approval. OTC market growth will be driven by a growing aging population and consumer trend to self-medication and the conversion of drugs from prescription to non-prescription or OTC status. Generic drug sales in the United States were valued at $78 billion in 2010 (source: IMS Health). The U.S. market is the world’s largest free-pricing market for pharmaceuticals and has a favorable patent...

...Assignment_3_Solution Q4-1. Lenders distinguish between cyclical cash needs and cash needed to fund operating losses because the second type of cash is riskier. It is typical for firms such as retailers to experience cyclical cash flows during the year as they gear up for busy season (October – December for many retailers). This happens in the ordinary course of business. In contrast, operating losses are not routine and can signal ongoing liquidity problems, or at worst, bankruptcy. Q4-10. Two factors impact credit risk: potential for default, and the magnitude of loss given a default. Chance of default can be measured via credit analysis, which attempts to capture the probability that a company will not generate cash flows great enough to meet its obligations. The magnitude of loss captures the likelihood of receiving compensation when the company defaults. The magnitude of recovery can be based on the seniority of the debt in question amongst the other creditors that the company owes money. In the case of a junior claim, the loss given default is commonly the entire amount borrowed, whereas a more senior claim may recoup most if not all of its loan. M4-16.

...single-factor and multi-factor models. In factors model, based on the type of factors used, it can be classified to economic and fundamental factor models. Economic factor models use macroeconomic and financial markets variables as factors, while fundamental factor models use firm-specific microeconomic variables, such as financial indicators. In recent research shows that the change in macroeconomic factors could be reflected in the change of systematic risk which impacts a stock’s expected return (Humpe & Macmillan 2007). Macroeconomic factors included industry production index, CPI, GDP, unemployment rate, inflation rate, risk premium, default premium, business cycle index and so on. From Chen (1986) notable study which uses variables include industrial production, inflation, risk premium, term structure, market index, consumption and oil prices to found out that industrial production, unanticipated change in the risk premium, unanticipated inflation, and, a slightly weaker, the unanticipated change in term structure, are the most important factors affecting expected stock returns. The 15 macroeconomic variables used as factors in our model are shown in Data Exhibit. Moreover, we choose five firm specific factors which are important to indicate a company’s financial situation. EPS is the portion of a company's profit allocated to each outstanding share of common stock. Earnings per share serve as an indicator of a company's profitability. Long-term Debt to Asset could...
