Syfte: Vi ämnar med uppsatsen att undersöka om det råder en skillnad i avkastning mellan portföljer indelade efter kriterier som kännetecknar värde samt tillväxtaktier.

Uppsatsen har identifierat storleks- och värdepremien för den svenska marknaden under åren 2003-2007. Studien grundar sig på studier utförda av Fama & French (1992, 1993) vilka finner att avkastningskravsmodellen CAPM ej fångar in erforderliga riskfaktorer på marknaden. Uppsatsens resultat är i linje med initial teori vad gäller storlekspremien , att småbolag tenderar att ge högre avkastning än större. Däremot är resultatet för värdepremien oförenlig flertalet tidigare studier, vilka påvisar att ett högre ?book-to-market?-värde tenderar att ge högre avkastning.
