Abstract: This paper examines the conditional relationship between the Tunisian stock market performance and the various sources of risk (market risk, the risk of oil prices, exchange rate risk, skewness and kurtosis) after the revolution (2011-2014). The methodology used in this paper is a multi-factor model to analyze the risk-return relationship for most equity sectors. We find a positive risk-return relationship statistically significant at a 1% in the up and down market. The oil price is found to be negative and statistically insignificant in the up and down oil market, suggesting that the oil price is indeed an important factor in determining stock returns. Results for other risk factors like skewness and kurtosis are also presented. These results are useful for individual and institutional investors, managers and policy makers.Keywords: Risk; return; multifactor conditional model; Tunisian Stock Market; instability political.
