The study also focuses on studying the significance of impact that various factors included in the aforementioned models have on portfolio returns. Going by the results, there is significant size and value effect. The observations also indicate a significant Profitability effect; however, its magnitude is found to be lesser than the Size and Value effects. The same cannot be said of the Investment effect. The study also finds a persistent twelve-month Momentum effect that remains unexplained by asset-pricing models not comprising of a momentum factor. Moreover, no significant evidence was found which would favor the FFFF model over other models.
