cmri factor library
One of the most challenging agenda in financial research is how to systematically explain
variations in returns across different assets and securities with a “pricing model”. The
Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM) with the “market” as a single risk factor and the
Fama-French (1993) Three-Factor Model with “size” and “value” are some prominent examples.
In this data library, we provide a comprehensive set of factors replicated for the Thai market.
This includes the Fama-French (2018) 6 factors: market (MKT), size (SML), value (HML),
operating profitability (RMW), investment (CMA), and momentum (UMD). We also provide the
Hou, Xue and Zhang (2015) q-factors: market (MKT), size (ME), investment-to-asset (IA),
and return on equity (ROE).
Beyond these standard models, we include several other important anomalies:
Illiquidity (ILLIQ) following Amihud (2002);
Short-term Momentum (in Thailand, not reversal) (MOM1) following Jegadeesh and Titman (1995);
Medium-term Momentum (MOM6) following Jegadeesh and Titman (1993);
Total Volatility (VOL) and Idiosyncratic Volatility (IVOL) following Ang, Hodrick, Xing, and Zhang (2006);
Betting Against Beta (BETA) following Frazzini and Pedersen (2014); and
Behavioral Factors including Post-Earnings Announcement Drift (PEAD) and Financing (FIN) following Daniel, Hirshleifer, and Sun (2020).
Data is available from July 2001 and is updated monthly.
This Factor Library data repository is made possible with the support of Thailand Capital
Market Development Fund (CMDF), Thailand Capital Market Research Institute (CMRI) and the
Stock Exchange of Thailand (SET).
