Description of 6 Portfolios Formed on Size and Investment for Emerging Markets

Monthly Returns:

 

July 1992 – August, 2024

 

 

 

Annual Returns:

 

1993–2023

 

 

 

Construction:

 

All returns are in U.S. dollars, include dividends and capital gains, and are not continuously compounded. We sort stocks in a country into two market cap and three Investment (Inv) groups at the end of June of each year t.

Big stocks are those in the top 90% of June market cap for the country, and small stocks are those in the bottom 10%. The Inv breakpoints for big and small stocks in a country are the 30th and 70th percentiles of Inv for the big stocks of the country.

We use size and investment breakpoints for each country to allocate the stocks to the country portfolios. The independent 2x3 sorts on size and Inv produce six value-weight portfolios, small aggresive (high Inv), small neutral, small conservative (low Inv), big aggresive, big neutral, and big conservative.
