Student Post:
Capital market efficiency describes the rate and accuracy of how available information is
incorporated into market situations and how it affects security prices. Capital market
efficiency is classified into three categories namely weak, semi-strong and strong-form
efficiency. These three classifications are dependent on the available information in the
current market. The Weak form of capital market efficiency exists in events where security
prices in current market reflects all the information that is contained in historical returns and
past prices. Under weak-form efficiency, investors are unlikely to earn abnormal profits from
trading rules by depending on past returns or past prices.
Semi-strong form– under this form of capital market efficiency, the security prices
completely reflect all the information available to the public. Therefore, only investors with
access to hidden information not known to the public which includes information from
corporate insides are the ones who earns extra profits.
Strong capital market efficiency- Under form, all the information including company secrets
are included in security prices. Therefore, no investor can attain extra benefits or profits by
trading on non-public or public information.
