The equity market efficiency is considered as the scales that are required at which the prices of the markets are reflected for the entire available information. All of the information can be incorporated into the price that is required for the investment of the market.  There is not any particular way to meet the criteria of the market due to the unavailability of the undervalued and overvalued securities (Barnes, 2012).  The concepts of the market efficiency were developed by great economist Eugene Fama in 1970. His efficient market hypothesis stated that an investor is unable to outperform in the market due to the inexistence of the market anomalies. They will immediately perform according to the arbitraged away. For efforts, the Eugene Fama Nobel has won the Nobel Prize.

The investors have started to buy the index funds who have admired this theory. This track was used for investment management and the performance of the market. This section of this paper explores the equity market efficiency in explanative manners. The investors and speculators are differentiating in a good way by discussing the concepts and theories. Three important types of equity market efficiency are elaborated with sound examples. The last section of this paper concludes the overall theme which is discussed in this paper.

Investors

·         There is a very short time span that is held for speculation, and generally, it can be less than one year.

·         The high returns can be attained in the speculation in the short time period, but the quantum of risk is high in this term.

Forms of equity market efficiency

There are three major market efficiency forms, which are usually explained in this paper, along with its implications.  All of these forms of market efficiency explain the kinds of the market and the well-suited market for the particular forms of market efficiency. These forms of the market are explained as; strong, semi-strong and weak forms of market efficiency (Kristoufek, 2014).

Weak Form EMH

This form of market efficiency leads towards the entire past information that is priced into securities. The securities fundamental analyses are required to offering the investors along with the information in order to produce the returns more than the averages of the markets in the very short term. But there are not any methods which can exist in it easily. Thus, the long term advantages cannot be offered or attained by the fundamental analysis even the technical analysis did not work as well. The weak form of the market efficiency leads towards the profit that will be attained in short terms by using the historical prices.

In the weak form of market efficiency, entire available security market data is fully reflected by the current security prices. These prices are also known as historical information and previous prices. It is suggested that all of this information consists of the volume data and security prices that are fully incorporated with the prices of the current security. In the weak form of market efficiency, the prices are always reflected by the historical information, and assets are purchased by considering this information.

Semi-Strong Form EMH:

This the second form of the market efficiency, and in this implication nor technical analysis, neither fundamental analysis may offer and advantage for several investors. All of this new information is instantly priced for several securities. It is stated by the semi-strong form of the market efficiency that all the information which will be publically available that will be the essential parts of the security prices. This term is more border than the volume and data of the security prices. All kinds of several information are also included in it, for instance, news articles and company statements.

All the publically available and known information is reflected by the prices in the semi string forms the market efficiency. This information includes all kinds of historical price information. By using such kinds of assumptions, the analysis of any kind of the public financial disclosure established by the company in order to determine the intrinsic value of the stock, and it will be futile till every detail would take in the stock of the market price account. Seamed like as; the consistent abnormal returns cannot be earned by the investors by performing according to the surprising announcements, and it is an important strategy in the semi-strong forms of the market efficiency. This market can easily move towards the latest and new information.

Strong Form EMH

It is preferred that all of the information that is includes the prices or purchasing of the stocks. It includes both kinds of information, private and public, that are easily priced in the stocks. The investors are unable to provide an advantage across the market as whole. In the strong forms of the market efficiency the money managers and investors are incapable in order to capture the abnormally high returns in which the outliers are included the averages. Generally, the strong forms of market efficiency are also considered as the perfect market.

According to the terms and conditions of the string forms of the market efficiency, the information from the private sides cannot help the investors.  The security market is a good example of a strong form of market efficiency because in this market, nobody liable to have the information from inside the market such as the information related to the market index. The security market is most similar to the string form of market efficiency.  There are not any kinds of sources that can be used to provide information related to the aggregate stock market.
