  • Back-Testing Magic an Analysis of the Magic Formula Strategy
    Back-testing Magic An analysis of the Magic Formula strategy Master Thesis Investment Analysis Author: R.H. Blij Student number: 323008 Supervisor: Dr. R.G.P. Frehen Chairman: Dr. F. Feriozzi Department: Department of Finance Faculty: Economics and Business Administration Date: October 18, 2011 Abstract This paper performs a back-test of the magic formula strategy first introduced by Joel Greenblatt in 2006 in his book “The little book that beats the market”. The magic formula is a method of stock selection where the highest combined scores for Return on Capital and Earnings Yield qualify as the best investment. Greenblatt (2010) provides results from the magic formula strategy that are able to persistently outperform the market from 1988 to 2009. I try and mimic these returns to either validate or reject the claims as made by Greenblatt. To do so a dataset is composed of the NYSE, AMEX and NASDAQ where all stocks are ranked using Earnings Yield and Return on Capital. The results confirm the findings as stated by Greenblatt where both the value-weighted and equally-weighted abnormal returns exhibit strong persistence at high significance. The results remain persistent under alternating investing conditions, like a longer holding period and higher required market capitalization for each stock. Furthermore, a sub sample is tested from the publication of the book in 2006 to 2010. Results during this period are statistically insignificant. Either the publication of the Magic formula has led to its own demise, or the overall downturn in the market temporarily invalidated its use. No decisive conclusion can be made in this respect.
