- This table shows the results of the Fama and French (2015) five-factor regression for portfolios from 2002 to 2018 on a monthly basis. The regressions are calculated individually for each rank-weighted portfolio based on a 10% cutoff of each score, market and portfolio set. The best (worst) portfolios consist of the 10% best (worst) rated companies regarding a particular score. The best–worst portfolios are long in the best-performing companies and short in the worst-performing ones. Monthly alphas and adj. \(R^2\) are reported upon. In order to estimate standard errors, we use the Newey and West (1987) procedure
- ***, ** and * indicate a significance level of 1%, 5% and 10%
