Topics • Multi-Factor Models • Fama-French Model • Pros and Cons
Multi-Factor Models • CAPM: One Factor Model • Market Risk • Other Possible Factors • Inflation • Interest Rates
Fama-French Model • Three Factor Model • Market Risk Premium (Same as CAPM) • Size (SMB) • Book-to-Market Ratio (HML) • Empirical, not Theoretical
Size Factor • Small Firms Generating Higher Return • Not captured by CAPM • Small Minus Big (SMB): Return on Small-Cap Stocks ─ Return on Large-Cap Stocks
Book-to-Market Ratio Factor • High Book-to-Market Firms Generating Higher Return • Not captured by CAPM • High Minus Low (HML): Return on High B/M Stocks ─ Return on Low B/M Stocks
Fama-French Equation E(ri) = rf + biE(rM– rf) + b’iE(SMB) + b’’iE(HML) rf= Risk Free Rate rM= Return on Market bi = Regression Coefficients SMB = Small minus Big Size HML = High minus Low M/B
Pros and Cons • Pros: • Empirical Support for Improved Performance • Explains a Greater Proportion of the Non-Diversifiable Volatility • Cons: • Not Based on Theory • Factors are Highly Volatile • What Do SMB and HML ‘Capture’? • Adding any Variable to a Regression Increases R-Squared
