Small Capitalization Stocks in Australia

In "Stock Return Seasonalities and the Tax-Loss Selling Hypothesis" by Philip Brown, University of Western Australia, Donald B. Klein, University of Pennsylvania, Allan W. Kleidon, Stanford University and Terry A. Marsh, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Journal of Financial Economics, 1983, the relationship between market capitalization and investment returns is examined for Australian stocks. All industrial, mining and oil stocks in Australia were ranked each year according to market capitalization and sorted into deciles. The study period was 1958 through 1981. Table 33 presents the average annual returns for each market capitalization group of stocks.
