摘要
This study examines if downside risk matters in asset pricing. Using a comprehensive sample of 3658 companies listed on the Chinese stock market from 1998 to 2017, evidence shows a positive reward for holding stocks with high downside risk, and this reward is not explained by other cross-sectional effects and remains robust across robustness tests. Downside beta is also found to be useful in the implementation of successful trading strategies in the medium and long term. By contrast, mixed results are found on the premiums robustness of total risk and semi-deviation, while no evidence of beta effect could be found.
