The Duff & Phelps Risk Premium Report 2011
The Size Effect
• Empirical evidence suggests that investments in small capitalization
(small market value) companies have earned greater historical rates of return than investments in large capitalization companies over the long-term. • Empirical evidence suggests that CAPM (beta - adjusted return) tends to underestimate historical rates of return on small companies
(i.e., beta -adjusted return too low)
• SBBI Yearbook has documented this effect:
– Size-based (where size is measured by market value) premiums over return predicted using textbook CAPM
– Based on 10 size (where size is measured by market value) deciles • Correction to textbook CAPM: add premium to the return predicted by the textbook CAPM to adjust expected return for smaller
companies.
