MACROECONOMIC RISK AND FIVE-FACTOR MODEL IN THE BRAZILIAN STOCK MARKET

ABSTRACT

This article aimed to analyze how a macroeconomic risk factor in the Fama and French’s five-factor model (2015) impacts on the explanation of the returns of assets in the Brazilian stock market. The five-factor model introduced profitability and investment as risk factors, joining the market premium, size and book-to-market. The macroeconomic risk factor, however, classifies the assets in portfolios according to their relationship between revenue growth and market GDP growth. Data on financial statements and asset returns were collected in Economática® from July 2008 to June 2015. The main results are the statistical significance of the explanatory variables in most portfolios, including the macroeconomic variable, with most of the R2 of the portfolios ranging from 0.400 to 0.709 in the six-factor model.

Key-words:
Five-Factor Model; Profitability; Investment; Macroeconomic Risk Factor
