Update On The Fundamentals Factors: Their Upshot On Pocket-Size Cap Stocks

In my terminal post, I reported that the key factors used past times Lyle in addition to Wang look to generate no returns on SP500 large cap stocks. These key factors are the increase constituent return-on-equity (ROE), in addition to the value constituent book-to-market ratio (BM).

I convey since studied the outcome of these factors on SP600 pocket-size cap stocks since 2004, using a survivorship-bias-free database combining information from both Compustat in addition to CRSP. This time, the factors gain create an annualized average render of 4.7% in addition to a Sharpe ratio of 0.8. Though these numbers are nowhere close the 26% render that Lyle in addition to Wang found, they are withal statistically significant. I convey plotted the equity crimp below.

One may wonder whether ROE or BM is the to a greater extent than of import factor. So I run a simpler model which uses ane constituent at a fourth dimension to rank stocks every day. We purchase stocks inward spill out decile of ROE, in addition to curt the ones inward the bottom decile. Ditto for BM. I constitute an annualized average render of 5% alongside a Sharpe ratio of 0.8 using ROE only, in addition to only 0.8% alongside a Sharpe ratio of 0.09 using BM only. The value constituent BM is almost completely useless! Indeed, if nosotros were to starting fourth dimension form on ROE, selection the spill out in addition to bottom deciles, in addition to hence form on BM, in addition to selection the spill out in addition to bottom halves, the resulting average render is almost the same equally sorting on ROE alone. I plotted the equity crimp for sorting on ROE below.

Notice the sudden drawdown from 2008-05-30 to 2008-11-04, in addition to the almost perfect recovery since then. This mirrors the demeanour of the equity marketplace itself, which raises the interrogation of why nosotros bother to build a long-short portfolio at all equally it provides no hedge against the downturn. It is likewise interesting to banking concern complaint that this constituent does non demo "momentum crash" equally explained inward a previous article: it does non endure at all during the marketplace recovery. This agency nosotros should non automatically recollect of a key increase constituent equally similar to cost momentum.

My determination was partly corroborated past times I. Kaplan who has written a preprint on a similar topic. He constitute that a long-short portfolio created using the ratio EBITA/Enterprise Value on large caps generates a Sharpe ratio of close 0.6 but alongside real picayune drawdown dissimilar the ROE constituent that I studied higher upwardly equally applied to pocket-size caps.

As Mr. Kaplan noted, these results are inward roughly contradiction non only alongside Lyle in addition to Wang's paper, but likewise alongside the widely circulated paper past times Cliff Asness et al. These authors constitute the the BM constituent industrial plant inward practically every property class. Of course, the timeframe of their inquiry is much longer than my focus above. Furthermore, they convey excluded fiscal in addition to penny stocks, though I did non uncovering such restrictions to convey non bad affect inward my study of large cap portfolios. In house of a key increase factor, these authors only used cost momentum over an 11-month stream (skipping the most recent month), in addition to constitute that this is likewise predictive of futurity quarterly returns.

Finally, nosotros should banking concern complaint that the ROE in addition to BM factors hither are quite similar to the Return-on-Capital in addition to Earnings Yield factors used past times Joel Greenblatt inward his famous "Little Book That Still Beats The Market". One wonders if those factors endure a similar drawdown during the fiscal crisis.
