Abstract

The purpose of this paper was to analyze the performance of the Fama-French five-factor model in the Brazilian stock market, in comparison to the three-and four-factor models, as well as to verify whether there are risk premiums associated to the anomalies size, book-to-market index, momentum, profitability and investment. Thus, we sought to analyze the efficiency of these models as a tool to support financial decision making in risk conditions. For this, the Fama-MacBeth methodology was used. The results of the first step regressions suggested that the Fama-French five-factor model presents the best performance in explaining the stock returns when compared to the others. However, in the results of the second step regressions, there were not found risk premiums associated to the profitability and investment factors, added to the three-factor model. Only the risks related to market, size, and book-to-market index consistently explained the cross-section of stock returns.
