Abstract

The stochastic discount factor (SDF) approach to fund performance is a recent innovation in the fund performance literature (Chen and Knez, 1996). A number of recent studies have used the stochastic discount factor approach to evaluate the performance of managed funds. In this paper, I present an overview of the use of the stochastic discount approach to evaluate the unconditional and conditional performance of the fund. I also discuss estimation issues and provide a brief survey of empirical evidence.
