Category - The Random Walk Model

In the random walk hypothesis, rates of return must meet which of the following conditions?
  1. Independent over time.
  2. Identically distributed.
  3. Uncorrelated.
  4. Independently and identically distributed.
Explanation
In the random work hypothesis, rates of return must be independently and identically distributed. This means that each random variable has the same probability distribution as the others and all are mutually independent.

Key Takeaway: The Random Walk hypothesis is a model in which asset prices are unpredictable. This model requires the rates of returns to be independently and identically distributed (iid) for statistical reference.
