The aim of this thesis is to investigate the size, book-to-market ratio (B/M), and profitability patterns in average returns and testing the viability of Fama-French four factor model in Istanbul Stock Exchange (ISE) over the period between July 2004-June 2013. The comparative performances of capital asset pricing model (CAPM), Fama-French three factor model, and Fama-French four factor model will be examined. Each of these three models is regressed on two different sets of portfolios. That is, monthly excess returns of six size-B/M and eighteen size-B/M-profitability portfolios are used as dependent variables in time-series regressions following Fama-French methodology. Confronted with the excess returns of six portfolios, the three factor model outperforms both CAPM and four factor model based on the results of adjusted R-squared values, GRS-F test of Gibbons, Ross, and Shanken (1989) and mean absolute value of intercept terms. Confronted with the excess returns of eighteen portfolios, based on R-squared value and GRS, four factor model is superior to both models. However, regarding the mean absolute value of alphas, three factor model fares slightly better than four factor model. Thus, in the light of the statistical results, although four factor model is not rejected and proves its viability in ISE, it does not show a strong superiority to three factor model, which is in line with Fama and French results.

A Note on Cross Section of Stock Returns on the Istanbul Stock Exchange
Kayaçetin, Nuri Volkan; Güner, Zehra Nuray (Boğaziçi Üniversitesi, 2007-01-01)
This paper investigates the explanatory powers of firm size, book-to-market, sales-to-price, debt-toequity ratio, and dividend yield on the cross-section of returns on the Istanbul Stock Exchange (ISE). Our results indicate that each of these variables (except dividend yield), commands a significant return premium when included in a simple regression model with the highest premium being associated with sales-to-price ratio. Our results suggest that sales-to-price ratio and debt-to-equity ratio have higher e...
The accuracy of earnings forecasts disclosed in IPO prospectuses: The case of the Turkish IPO companies
Bulut, Halil İbrahim; Er, Bünyamin (Orta Doğu Teknik Üniversitesi (Ankara, Turkey), 2010-12)
This paper examines the accuracy of earnings forecasts made by Turkish IPO (Initial Public Offering) companies during the period 2002-2007. It is a voluntary requirement for Turkish IPOs to furnish earnings forecasts. Their accuracy is measured by forecast errors, absolute forecast errors and squared forecast errors in this paper. A number of company specific characteristics such as size, age, forecast interval, gearing, proportion of shares retained by owners and both auditing firm and underwriter reputati...
A Closer look at mutual fund performance in Turkey based on active peer benchmarks
Şanap, Aybars Furkan; Küçükkaya, Halit Engin; Department of Business Administration (2017)
This master's thesis aims to evaluate mutual fund performance in Turkey on a risk-adjusted basis with various approaches. First, commonly used Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM) and Carhart Four-Factor Model are employed for performance analysis. Then, active peer benchmarks (APB) are utilized to account for market-capitalization characteristics of portfolio stockholdings and to control commonalities in unsystematic risk-taking of different mutual funds. The empirical results are mixed for the sampled fifty...
