Asset Growth

Assorted types of market anomalies occur when stock prices deviate from the prediction of classical asset pricing theories. This study aims to examine asset growth anomaly where stocks with high asset growth will be followed by low returns in the subsequent periods. This study, using Indonesia Stock Exchanges data, finds that an equally-weighted low-growth portfolio outperforms high-growth portfolio by average 0.75% per month (9% per annum), confirming existence of asset growth anomaly. The analysis is extended at individual stock-level using fixed-effect panel regression in which asset growth effect remains significant even with controlling other variables of stock return determinants. This study also explores further whether asset growth can be included as risk factor. Employing two-stage cross-section regression in Fama and Macbeth (1973), the result aligns with some prior studies that asset growth is not a new risk factor; instead the anomaly is driven by mispricing due to investors’ overreaction and psychological bias. This result imply that asset growth anomaly is general phenomenon that can be found at mostly all stock market but in Indonesia market asset growth anomaly rise from investors’ overreaction, instead of  playing as a factor of risk.

This paper is an extension of the work of Lawson and Schwartz (2018) which analyzes the risk-adjusted performance of hedge funds by employing a collection of four, five, seven, and eight-factor models. The purpose is to evaluate how well the top and bottom performing subset of hedge fund strategies have profited on known asset pricing anomalies during two unique time periods, 1994 to 2000 and 2001 to 2008. The bifurcation of the data into two distinct periods allows for a deeper exploration of the potential time-varying significance of estimated factor arbitrage. Our empirical testing suggests that both the top and bottom performing funds did utilize the asset growth anomaly to generate abnormal profits. Top performers tended to invest with a long emphasis on low asset growth, value firms while the bottom-five performing hedge fund strategies tested positive for a predilection towards going long small firms with low asset growth characteristics. Arguably, these outcomes probably align with the nature of the investment philosophy of each fund strategy. Interestingly, however, the time-varying significance of estimated coefficients for the value and returns momentum factors between the two distinct timeframes suggests either intentional or unintentional rotation between the use of available pricing anomalies and risk premiums.
