Stock picking and market timing are two critical skills in fund performance evaluation. Measuring these skills and examining the association often relies on a factor model. When daily returns are employed, heteroscedasticity and heavy tail have to be taken into account. This talk reviews the literature, defines a new nonparametric market timing measure to deal with heavy tails, develops a test for the zero market timing skill, and studies the association between skills.
