An analyst is predicting the returns of a portfolio of investments using the Fama-French three-factor model. This model evaluates returns by regressing the weekly returns of the portfolio over the past three decades against three specific factors: the market factor, the SMB (Small Minus Big) factor, and the HML (High Minus Low) factor. The regression analysis has resulted in the following estimates for the components of the model:
Component | Estimate |
---|---|
Alpha | 0.10 |
Market factor | 0.52 |
SMB factor | 0.18 |
HML factor | -0.70 |
Assuming that all the obtained coefficients are statistically significant, which of the following statements is correct?
