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).
