Three Common Factors

No 17225, CEPR Discussion Papers from C.E.P.R. Discussion Papers

Abstract: Hint: these are not the Fama-French 3 factors and they are not even spanned by the Fama-French 5 factors. More importantly, they feature superior out-of-sample pricing performance compared to standard asset pricing models. What is “common†about these factors? We identify the factor space common between individual stocks and sorted portfolios - neither affected by time-varying betas nor by the sorting characteristics.
