medium · FRM Part 1

A regression of a hedge fund's returns on five factors shows a VIF of 12 for the 'Value' factor.

How would you interpret the standard error for this factor's coefficient?

  1. The standard error is inflated by a factor of approximately 3.46 compared to if it were uncorrelated with other factors.
  2. The coefficient estimate is biased by a factor of 12.
  3. The standard error is 12 times larger than it should be.
  4. The t-statistic for the Value factor is 12 times smaller than it should be.
