This study explores the impact of value-growth investment styles on risk-adjusted returns of TSE-listed stocks. We use three widely-used benchmark factors for value-growth investment styles, which are price-book ratios (PBR), price-sales ratios (PSR), and price-earnings ratios (PER). In addition, the Sharpe ratio is used as a proxy of risk-adjusted returns in our investigation. Our ANOVA findings show that the average Sharpe ratios of various factor levels are not identical significantly for all the three respective factors, PBR, PSR and PER. In other words, various degrees of value-growth investment style have significant impact on risk-adjusted returns of stocks. In general, the lower the levels of three factors are, the higher the risk-adjusted returns will be. However, we find this performance trend stability is the highest for PBR, next for PER, and the lowest for PSR. It is also notable that the average Sharpe ratio of the lowest PE level group is abnormally low, showing that investors tend to cast relatively poor risk-adjusted evaluation on listed companies with negative earnings. |
