2. Suppose Momentum can generate alpha in a model. It is against which form of market efficiency? (
A. Strong Form
B. Semi-strong Form
C. Weak Form
D. All three forms
Any hedge fund, investment trust or investment manager of whichever type should be unable to generate excess return over and above the risk-adjusted return for a particular investment. This statement is in line with the strong form of market efficiency which states that all information flow is absolutely unrestricted and uninfluenced by past happenings. Hence, it is not possible to determine trends and thereby make attempts at "beating" the market.
Therefore, generation of alpha is against the strong form of market efficiency.
Hence, the correct option is (a).
