Abstract
Though ‘Size’ is the most important factor explaining stock market returns the possibility of size being a proxy was first mentioned in Banz (1978). Even after forty years of factor investing the industry is still looking for answers. This paper chronologically lists the research on ‘Size’ and why the question regarding ‘The Size Proxy’ has never been so relevant.
