• The Battle of Factors

  This study delves into the battle of factors in Canadian capital markets, employing spanning tests to evaluate 17 factors from ten multifactor models for 1991¿2022. While the value factor (HML) proves redundant, its monthly updated counterpart excels. The size factor (SMB) is not improved by discounting mispriced stocks but gains potency after controlling for profitability and investment. Q-based and mispricing factors subsume the momentum factor (UMD). No single asset-pricing model emerges dominant, except in three instances. A six-factor model including market, size, monthly updated value, ROE, expected growth, and PEAD factors proves effective for asset pricing in Canadian markets.
