The Value of a Two-Dimensional Value Investment
Strategy: Evidence from the Korean Stock Market
Seong-Soon Cho, Jung-Soon Shin, and Jinho Byun
ABSTRACT: This paper examines whether the two-dimensional value investment strategy
that incorporates both the value investment strategy and financial statement information
can earn excess returns in the Korean stock market. The two-dimensional value invest-
ment strategy yields a return of 27.9 percent, which is 8.97 percent higher than the
return provided by the simple value investment strategy. Thus, the result shows that the
two-dimensional strategy is not only effective in the U.S. stock market, but also effective
in emerging markets such as the Korean stock market. Furthermore, the two-dimensional
value investment strategy shows that the higher return during a bear market demonstrates
the strategy’s protective ability.
KEY WORDS: book-to-market ratio, FSCORE, glamor stocks, value investment, value stocks.
Investors have found that market anomaly, in contrast to market efficiency, can gener-
ate abnormal return, and various strategies incorporating this phenomenon have been
consistently developed.
The value investment strategy1 is one such strategy and consists of a long position in
value stocks and a short position in glamor stocks, using the valuation ratio to earn excess
return. Basu (1977, 1983) examined the validity of using earnings-to-price (EP) ratio to
assess the valuation ratios of firms. Subsequent studies have extended the variables to
evaluate a firm’s valuation to size, book-to-market (BM) ratio, and cash flow-to-price(CP) ratio (Chan et al. 1991; Jaffe et al. 1989; Rosenberg et al. 1985) and to analyze the
reason for the excess returns earned by the value investment strategy (Fama and French
1992; Lakonishok et al. 1994; La Porta 1996; La Porta et al. 1997).
The two predominant theories of value premium are the risk compensation hypothesis
(Fama and French 1993) and the missed expectations hypothesis (Lakonishok et al. 1994).
Through the use of the book-to-market ratio, Fama and French explain that the excess
return on value stocks reflects compensation for a risk. Extending their 1993 results,
Fama and French (1995) analyze accounting earnings using both size and book-to-market
ratio, and obtain results consistent with rational pricing: a high book-to-market ratio
signals persistent poor earnings, and a low book-to-market ratio signals strong earnings.
Lakonishok et al. (1994), however, explain that the excess return on value stocks results
from the price correction of the initial mispricing: investors are overly optimistic (pes-
simistic) about the future performance of glamor (value) firms, and thus the expectation
errors cause a reversal in their returns.

Lakonishok et al. (1994) present the missed expectations hypothesis when examin-
ing the gap between the expected growth rate and the realized growth rate; however, the
article fails to provide a complete explanation for the missed expectations hypothesis.
In response, Piotroski (2000) suggests the usefulness of financial information to explain
the mispricing hypothesis and composes the FSCORE as a proxy for recent changes inthe financial performance of firms. Piotroski also claims that the excess returns provided
by the simple value investment strategy might be due to a few blue-chip firms and shows
that using the information from financial statements can increase the accuracy of the
strategy. In addition, Frankel and Lee (1998) use the earnings expectations of financial
analysts to separate value stocks from glamor stocks and show that such a value invest-
ment strategy generates positive return. This result confirms the usefulness of historical
financial statements.
Bartov and Kim (2004) measure the performance of two-dimensional value investment
strategies using additional accounting accruals as financial information to find expecta-
tion errors in the value investment strategy. They find that annual returns on a strategy
of investing in mispriced portfolios formed by buying stocks with high book-to-market
ratio and low accruals and selling stocks with low book-to-market ratio and high accru-
als outperform those on the book-to-market classification or the accruals classification
alone, with no evidence of increased risk.
Piotroski and So (2011) also argue that a two-dimensional investment strategy that
incorporates financial statement analysis and value ratios generates higher returns than
a one-dimensional investment strategy that consists only of value ratio. Based on their
studies, this paper examines whether various simple value ratios and the composite value
(CV) ratio also apply to the Korean stock market and analyzes the validity of the two-
dimensional value investment strategy using FSCORE.
Previous studies have mostly dealt with developed markets; few have focused onemerging markets, including the Korean market. In the case of emerging markets, the
stock price may only partially reflect financial information because earnings reports or
disclosures may be less accurate and the market’s regulatory system may be less developed.
For example, Wang and Xie (2010) find evidence of overreaction and the profitability
of a contrarian strategy on the Chinese stock market; Lai et al. (2010) show the asym-
metric market responses to technical buy and sell signals on the Taiwan stock market;
and Kim and Byun (2010) provide evidence that investor sentiment have the power to
predict the buy-and-hold returns on the Korean stock market. In addition, the limited
role of institutional investors in emerging markets might generate a chance of getting
abnormal returns from using financial information. Specifically in Korea, the proportion of
individual investors’ trading volume in 2010 was about 92 percent (64 percent in trading
amount). Bartov and Kim (2004) indicate that mispricing may be more prominent in the
stocks of unsophisticated investors. Because individual investors use financial information
less frequently than institutional investors do, it would be a useful investment strategy to
use missed expectations on stock pricing in order to obtain abnormal returns in Korean
markets, in which there is a heavy amount of trading done by individual investors. In
addition, by showing the varying results of value investment strategies according to
market conditions, this paper will demonstrate how strategies can be applied differently
according to such conditions. In order to examine whether the abnormal returns of two-
dimensional strategy comes from reward-to-risk or expectation errors, we employed the
Fama–French three-factor and four-factor models, with turnover as the liquidity factor,and still found that the two-dimensional value investment strategy was valid.

Some studies on the Korean stock market suggested the presence of a value premium
(Chang and Kim 2003; Gam 1999; Kim and Lee 2006; Song 1999). This paper general-
izes the effectiveness of the value investment strategy by expanding the sample period to
recent years. Chang and Kim (2003) also analyzed the validity of the two-dimensional
value investment strategy using financial conditions. However, they concentrated onprofitability data such as gross margin rate, return on invested capital, and interest cover-
age ratio to measure financial conditions, and thus failed to use the financial statement
holistically. This paper makes use of FSCORE, which measures not only a firm’s profit-
ability, but also the changes in financial leverage and liquidity, and changing operational
efficiency. Unlike previous studies, in which abnormal return calculations were based
on a market index, this study, like that of Piotroski and So (2011), uses size, which is a
market anomaly, to measure the effect of value investments more accurately. By using
a size-adjusted portfolio when calculating abnormal returns, this paper supplements the
shortcomings of previous studies.
The result shows that a value premium also exists in the Korean stock market. In
particular, a one-dimensional investment strategy using composite value (CV) yields an
18.93 percent return, which is higher than the return from any other one-dimensional
value investment strategy using individual value ratios. This indicates that using various
proxies for relative value is more effective than utilizing a single valuation proxy in an
investment strategy. Moreover, a two-dimensional value investment strategy that incor-
porates information from financial statements and value ratios generates higher returns
than a one-dimensional value investment strategy does. Buying value stocks with good
financial conditions and selling glamor stocks with bad financial conditions can generate
at most a 27.9 percent, size-adjusted buy-and-hold abnormal return, which is 8.97 percent
higher than the return from a one-dimensional value investment strategy. As Piotroski
and So (2011) showed, this study shows that the value effect resides in portfolios withhigh expectation errors.
A comparison of the returns during bear and bull markets using value investment
strategies revealed that a value premium exists in both conditions. In addition, consistent
with the results of the full sample, in both bear and bull markets the two-dimensional
value investment strategy generates a higher return than does the one-dimensional value
investment strategy. Furthermore, this paper shows that both one-dimensional and two-
dimensional value investment strategies generate higher profits during the downturn of
the stock market, proving their protective ability. In bear markets, the two-dimensional
value investment strategy using share turnover has higher returns than that which involves
using the composite value, a fact that implies that liquidity is important in the bear market
condition. After controlling for liquidity in our multivariate analysis, we find additional
returns from the two-dimensional value investment strategy.

Value/Glamor Classification
Like Piotroski and So (2011), we use a multidimensional approach and a composite
approach to classify value stocks and glamor stocks. Proxies such as book-to-market
(BM), earnings-to-price (EP), cash-flow-to-price (CP), sales growth (SG), and equity
share turnover (ST) are used for relative value. Among these values, BM, EP, and CP arebased on the stock price to identify value stocks and glamor stocks. In other words, since

July–August 2012 Supplement 61
pricing multiples provide information about firms with prices that do not fully reflect
their fundamental values, higher values of BM, EP, and CP indicate deep value stocks.
On the contrary, lower values of SG and ST indicate deep value stocks.
BM is calculated by dividing the total equity at the end of the fiscal year2 t – 1 by
the market capitalization at the end of the fiscal year t – 1. EP is calculated by dividingthe net income per share by adjusted stock price at the end of the fiscal year t – 1. CP
is calculated by dividing cash flow per share by adjusted stock price at the end of the
fiscal year t – 1. SG is calculated by dividing the difference between sales at year t – 1
and year t – 2 by the sales at year t – 2. ST is calculated by adjusting the average daily
trading volume from July of year t – 1 (the year before the portfolio formation) until the
end of June of year t to the average number of shares.
To formulate a value/glamor stock portfolio every year, each dimension of relative
values is divided into the top 30 percent, the middle 40 percent, and the bottom 30 percent.
Firms in the top 30 percent and bottom 30 percent are value stocks (glamor stocks if low
SG and ST) and glamor stocks (value stocks if high SG and ST), respectively.
The average of the decile rank of each value proxy is used to calculate the composite
measure of values, or CV. However, the decile ranks of SG and ST are multiplied by –1
because their values are reversed.

Korean Stock Market Liquidity and K-IFRS
The liquidity of the Korean stock market is relatively high because the proportion of indi-
vidual investors who tend to frequently trade is high. According to the Korean Digital Times,in 2011 the share turnover of the Korea Stock Exchange ranked at third in the world after
the Nasdaq OMX and the Shenzhen Stock Exchange in China. Measuring liquidity, we
use the turnover ratio, which is the trading volume adjusted to the number of outstanding
shares, as has been done in previous studies (Brennan and Subrahmanyam 1995; Chordia et
al. 2001; Rouwenhorst 1999). We included a liquidity variable as a risk factor in our four-
factor model to measure risk-adjusted returns based on Yun et al. (2009), who show that
liquidity has more explanatory power than book-to-market ratio in Korea. Kim and Byun
(2011) present a summary of behavioral finance literature in the Korean market.
At the end of 2007, the Korean International Financial Reporting Standards (K-IFRS)
were released. The K-IFRS are a word-for-word translation of the full IFRS issued by the
International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) and have been mandatory for Koreanlisted companies with assets over 2 trillion won since 2011 (voluntary early adoption
became possible in 2009 for all companies except financial institutions). However, com-
panies with assets of less than 2 trillion won are allowed to keep their current accounting
systems until 2013.
One of the main changes incurred by introducing IFRS is that unlike K-GAAP, K-IFRS
generally use historical cost, but intangible assets, property, plant, and equipment (PPE),
and investment property may be revalued to fair value. Derivatives and certain other
financial instruments and biological assets are also revalued to fair value. Because of
these changes, if revaluation engenders profits, companies can expect a decrease in li-
abilities. Therefore, companies owning many fine tangible assets are expected to benefitfrom adopting IFRS, which will make their books more attractive.

FSCORE Classification
Like Piotroski (2000), we compose the FSCORE to classify firms based on the recent
financial performance trend. The FSCORE is the sum of nine financial signals: four
variables measure profitability, three measure change in financial leverage/liquidity, andtwo measure change in operational efficiency. Signal realization is divided into good and
bad implications for future profitability and cash flow. An indicator variable with good
signal realization equals 1, and an indicator variable with bad signal realization equals
0. The FSCORE measures the overall financial condition of a firm.
Out of the nine signals, return on assets (ROA), cash flow from operations (CFO),
change in net income (NI), and ACCRUAL look into a firm’s profitability. ROA is
calculated as net income during year t scaled by total assets at the beginning of the year.
The indicator variable F_ROA receives one point if ROA is positive and zero points if it
is negative. CFO is calculated as cash flow from operations during year t scaled by total
assets at the beginning of the year. The indicator variable F_CFO receives one point if
CFO is greater than 0 and zero points if it is less than 0. NI, change in net income, iscalculated as the current year’s net income minus the prior year’s net income realization.
The indicator variable F_NI receives one point if NI is positive, and zero points if it is
negative. ACCRUAL is calculated as the current year’s net income minus cash flow from
operations, scaled by average total assets. The indicator variable F_ACCRUAL receives
one point if ACCRUAL is lower than 0 and zero points if it is higher than 0.
The following variables are designed to measure the firm’s capital structure and ability
to pay future debt service obligations. Change in long-term leverage (LEVER) is the
change in the ratio of long-term debt to total assets. The indicator variable F_LEVER
receives one point if LEVER decreases and zero points if it increases. A high leverage
ratio indicates a firm’s high financial risk. Change in current ratio (
LIQUID) is the ratioof current assets to current liabilities at the end of a fiscal year compared to the prior year’s
ratio. The indicator variable F_LIQUID receives one point if LIQUID increases and zero
points if it decreases. ISSUANCE checks if a firm is raising external equity capital. The
indicator variable F_ISSUANCE receives zero points if a firm’s change in capital stock
is positive between year t and year t – 1, and one point otherwise. A firm raising external
equity capital displays its inability to raise internal capital to pay for future debts. As
explained in Piotroski (2000), external debt and equity issuance are possible responses to
a positive NPV (net present value) investment opportunity, but prior empirical research
proves that such events negatively affect a firm’s stock price.3
The last two signals measure a firm’s operating efficiency. Change in the gross margin
(MARGIN) is the difference between a firm’s current gross margin ratio and the previousyear’s. Since a positive change in the gross margin ratio signals a firm’s improved condition,
the indicator variable F_MARGIN receives one point if MARGIN is positive and zero
points if it is negative. Change in asset turnover (TURN) is calculated as the firm’s current
asset turnover ratio minus the prior year’s asset turnover ratio. Asset turnover is defined as
total sales scaled by average total assets. The indicator variable F_TURN receives one
point ifTURN is positive and zero points if it is negative. An increase in a firm’s turnover
ratio indicates a firm’s efficiency in generating more sales revenue with its assets.
The FSCORE, which measures a firm’s recent financial performance, is calculated
by adding up the points of the nine individual signals, with a score ranging from zero to
nine. A high FSCORE indicates a firm with strong recent financial performance, and alow FSCORE indicates a firm with weak recent financial performance.

FSCORE = F_ROA + F_CFO + F_NI + F_ACCRUAL + F_LEVER
+ F_LIQUID + F_ISSUANCE + F_MARGIN + F_TURN.
We will conduct an empirical analysis to see whether FSCORE can identify expecta-
tion errors in value firms and glamor firms more precisely.
Two-Dimensional Value Investment Strategy
The fact that less than 44 percent of high book-to-market firms earn positive returns for
two consecutive years supports the presence of heterogeneity even within a value portfo-
lio (Piotroski 2000). Thus, this paper tests if including both valuation ratio and financial
fundamentals in the portfolio generates greater returns than using a one-dimensional
investment strategy does.
This study’s two-dimensional value investment strategy is based upon the character-
istics of CV and FSCORE, which are calculated according to the method of Piotroski
and So (2011). If the prices of glamor firms demonstrate overly optimistic expectationsand prices of value firms demonstrate overly pessimistic expectations, the value/glamor
strategy should identify overvalued firms in the glamor portfolio and undervalued firms
in the value portfolio. The FSCORE should be able to accurately identify firms with sig-
nificant expectation errors within the value/glamor portfolios. If the FSCORE does not
point in the same direction as the value dimension, there will be significant expectation
errors. Expectation errors should mainly appear in firms whose fundamentals as reflected
in the FSCORE differ the most from those reflected in the value ratios.
According to the mispricing hypothesis, expectation errors should be more significant
in value firms with a high FSCORE and glamor firms with a low FSCORE, as shown
in Figure 1. The incongruent investment strategy, using two portfolios with significant
expectation errors, consists of a long position in value firms with a high FSCORE and
a short position in glamor firms with a low FSCORE. This strategy means that long the
portfolio with a high potential for being undervalued and short the portfolio with a high
potential for being overvalued. As a result, the highest return can be expected using an
incongruent investment strategy when a price reversal occurs to correct the expectation
error. Inversely, the congruent investment strategy, using two diagonal portfolios with
small expectation errors, consists of a long position in value firms with a low FSCORE
and a short position in glamor firms with a high FSCORE.
Size Benchmark Portfolio Formation and Calculations of
Abnormal Returns
We present annual, size-adjusted, equally weighted buy-and-hold returns for most of our
results. To adjust for size, following Fama and French (1992), we construct a size decile
benchmark portfolio during the portfolio formation time by using all the stocks (except
those of financial firms) listed on the Korea Composite Stock Price Index (KOSPI) market.
Each year, we reconstruct a benchmark portfolio using market capitalization at the end
of June in year t . Assuming an annual buy-and-hold strategy, the annual size-adjusted
equally weighted buy-and-hold return on a firm is computed as the return on that firm
minus the buy-and-hold return on the size benchmark portfolio.
If the firm delists prior to the end of the twelve-month compounding period, the delist-
ing return is replaced by the average return of the size benchmark portfolio.

Results
Data
The research period for this paper is from January 1981 to June 2011. The sample consists
of companies listed on the KOSPI market4 with a December fiscal year-end; it excludes
firms from the finance industry. Since the two previous years of financial statements arerequired, the financial statements from 1981 to 2009 are used in the formation of the
portfolio for the investment strategy. Portfolio performance is based on the returns for
twenty-seven years, from July 1984 to June 2011. The sample includes 11,810 firm-years.
Financial statements and stock information used to compose the FSCORE and calculate
the value ratio are taken from FnGuide (Korean financial database).
Table 1 represents descriptive statistics of the five CV and nine FSCORE components.
With the exception of change in gross margin (MARGIN) and change in asset turnover
(TURN), all FSCORE components have positive indicators of more than 50 percent.
One-Dimensional Investment Strategy: Value Investment Strategy Table 2 represents the annual size-adjusted buy-and-hold returns of the simple value
investment strategy. The value investment strategy consists of a long position in value
firms and a short position in glamor firms. When using the valuation ratios, all but sales
growth (SG) prove the existence of a value premium (significant at the 1 percent level).
These results are congruent with previous research and signify that a value premium
exists in the Korean stock market.
Specifically, among the investment strategies that utilize individual valuation proxies,
the investment strategy using cash-flow-to-price (CP) generates a 15.06 percent annual
buy-and-hold return, and the strategy using share turnover (ST) generates the highest
annual buy-and-hold return: 18.64 percent. However, the value investment strategy us-ing CV, which is composed of five individual valuation ratios, earns an 18.93 percent
