Abstract

Drawing from the insights of the clean surplus accounting model for stock prices, we show that combining stocks with high profitability and low-BM ratios results in a “good growth” portfolio that outperforms classical growth stocks in multiple dimensions. The proposed portfolio offers growth-style investors a much more compelling alternative to classical growth stocks which are synonymous with poor returns relative to value stocks.
