Dissecting Anomalies with the Five-factor Model for the Brazilian Stock Market
Main Article Content
Abstract
This article estimates for the Brazilian market the multifactor pricing model proposed by Fama and French (2015, 2016) and provides a detail of five anomalies: beta, net share issues, momentum, volatility and accruals. The results indicate that the inclusion of the profitability factor proposed in Fama and French (2015) plays a crucial role in reducing the magnitude of the intercepts and of the GRS statistic for all size-anomaly sorted portfolios considered in the article. Consistent with international evidence, the results indicate, among other things, that (i) companies that repurchase shares have higher returns and are more conservative in terms of investment, (ii) firms with lower volatility have higher returns, and are less sensitive to the market returns, (iii) small firms are more aggressive in terms of investment and less profitable, (iv) high beta was associated with higher returns only among small firms and (v) average returns of companies with high accruals is higher in comparison to those of companies with low accruals.
