The primary objective of this paper is to examine value and growth stocks in Stock Exchange of Thailand, based on 1995 to 2007, in order to investigate the assertion that value stocks on average generate higher returns than growth stocks based on numerous considerable evidences suggested that on average value investing strategy outperforms growth investing strategy. This paper uses average returns, Jensen's alpha and Sharpe ratio as a measurement for portfolio efficiency. The result shown that value portfolio could generate higher returns than growth portfolio by approximately 24% annually on portfolio sorted by B/M, E/P, and C/P in both big and small market capitalization. Further, the portfolio returns could be enhanced by approximately 4.3% annually when applied financial signals to discriminate a value firm with strong financial prospect and a value firm with poor financial prospect in order to construct a portfolio that generate a superior return than a conventional value investing strategy. Finally, this paper examines a style investing strategy through using growth in EPS characteristic incorporated with a value stocks in order to investigate whether a dual-characteristic investing strategy of high earnings yield together with high growth in EPS (HEHG) could outperform other investment strategies. However, the result indicates that although high earnings yield with high growth in EPS could generate higher returns other style investing strategies; high earnings yield with low growth (HELG), low earnings yield with high growth (LEHG), and low earnings yield with low growth (LELG), with the difference of 11% (10%), 17% (22%), and 22% (30%), respectively, in big (small) market capitalization; but when compared HEHG with financial analysis approach it seems that HEHG strategy could not outperform financial signals strategy in term of Jensen's alpha and Sharpe ratio.

Foreign share premium in Thai stock market has exhibited the downward trend during 2002 to 2014. This study attempts to explain this phenomenon by three hypotheses which are demand differential, information availability, and diversification benefit. The panel regression and cross-sectional regression are employed to account for variation of foreign share premium over time and across firms. The results of the study show that demand differential between foreign and domestic investors plays important role to explain foreign share premium. As foreign investors' demand for Thai stock is downward sloping, lower foreign room left relative to foreign ownership limit indicates higher foreign demand and higher foreign share premium for that stock. Moreover, foreign investors are likely to shift their investment from traditional foreign share on the Foreign Board to Non-Votiing Depository Receipt (NVDR) over time as it is a close substitute investment of domestic share for foreign investors. The existence of NVDR cause foreign investors' demand to become more elastic resulting in lower foreign share premium. Together with information availability hypothesis, foreign investors are interested to invest in larger firms and firms with more analyst coverages, via NVDR rather than foreign share on the Foreign Board, since they need not to concern about foreign ownership limit. Nevertheless, diversification benefit is the motive driven foreign investors to invest in domestic share on the Foreign Board. For any stock, if its return yields lower correlation with market portfolio return, it shows the higher diversification benefit and results in higher foreign share premium.
