Abstract

This paper deals with the nature and height of HML and SMB premiums from the point of view of recent literature on these topics. We can say that although this theme is quite new, it attracted appropriate attention and many authors have proved statistically existence of these premiums. However the question is still about their nature, respectively whether in the case of HML it is not false causality rather than premium. Even though several authors find narrow relationship between risk and HML premium, opinions form a wide range and the discussion still goes on. We consider implied cost of capital being interesting methodological instrument for looking into nature of HML premium.
