Abstract
We analyse the ability of the conditional asset pricing models to explain the cross‐sectional variation in UK stock returns. We examine conditional versions of the Sharpe‐Linter CAPM and the Fama‐French three‐factor model. The results indicate that the conditional single‐factor model is rejected in all instances. However, there is evidence supportive of the three‐factor model. A specification of this model that allows for time variation in conditional covariances, conditionally expected returns and the conditional variance of the market cannot be rejected.
