Abstract

This paper combines the CRSP market index with multiple factors to create a single multifactor market index. Empirical tests of different multifactor market indexes indicate that: (1) Sharpe ratios substantially increase and GRS test statistics decrease as multifactors are incrementally added to the CRSP index; and (2) the resultant multifactor market indexes are significantly priced in cross-sectional tests of associated beta loadings with t-values exceeding 3.0 in most cases.
