Guirguis (2010) studies factor investing in equities using a linear factor model. The abstract does not mention a benchmark, an out-of-sample test, transaction costs, multiple testing or the size of the universe.
“By applying Fama and French three factor model, extended version of the Fama and French model to include the market timing ability variable from a model developed by Treynor and Mazuy (1966), we derived to the conclusion that the results are mixed for most of the sectors.”
