A Development of a Quantitative Stock Selection Model for Swedish Mid/Large Cap Stocks

Abstract: In this thesis an extensive development of a multi factor model in the effort to predict stock returns in the Swedish markets is undertaken. The aim is not only to create an easy to use and yet accurate model to assist in investment choices, but also to create a better understanding of which of the underlying fundamental and technical values explain future performance of large and mid cap stocks. Twelve explanatory variables are being analysed through a strictly quantitative perspective and finally put together to one ready-to-use price predicting model based on six fundamental and technical values.
