Program Description

The "size effect" is the observation that smaller firms tend to have higher returns than larger firms. The main theory to explain this is that smaller firms are systematically more risky, and market forces cause stock prices to adjust resulting in higher returns for investors. However, the empirical data regarding whether the "size effect" even exists is mixed.

Highlights of this webinar include: the size effect is complex phenomena and not universally accepted by academic researchers; the size premium of small firms seems to include elements of lack of marketability; the size premium has disappeared at times; the size effect is not linear, so size premiums derived from public firms need to be applied with care; size may not be the source of risk, but a proxy for risk.

Learning Objectives

After completing this webinar, attendees will be able to:

- Define and describe the size effect theory
- Identify the complex aspects of the size effect phenomena

Who Should Attend

Financial professionals looking to expand their knowledge of the size effect theory
