Digesting Anomalies: An Investment Approach

TLDR
In this paper, the authors proposed a new factor model that consists of the market factor, a size factor, an investment factor, and a return-on-equity factor.
Abstract
Motivated from investment-based asset pricing, we propose a new factor model that consists of the market factor, a size factor, an investment factor, and a return-on-equity factor The new model [i] outperforms the Carhart (1997) four-factor model in pricing portfolios formed on earnings surprise, idiosyncratic volatility, financial distress, equity issues, as well as on investment and return-on-equity; [ii] performs similarly as the Carhart model in pricing portfolios on momentum as well as on size and book-to-market; but [iii] underperforms in pricing the total accrual deciles Our model's performance, combined with its clear economic intuition, suggests that it can serve as a new workhorse model for academic research and investment management practice
