Abstract
This study investigates the existence of the monthly effect in Malaysian stock market. The study uses the monthly closing prices of Kuala Lumpur Composite Index (KLCI) for the period from January 1994 to December 2006 for analysis. Further, the data was partitioned into three sub-periods which allows testing the presence of monthly effect over short periods of time and whether there is any persistence monthly effect. These sub samples are pre-crisis, crisis and post-crisis period, respectively. The regression results reveal the monthly patterns in this market. Monthly effects do not exist in the full period and crisis period. Only February effect is present during the pre-crisis period. There is January effect for the post-crisis period. Other than that, significant negative returns were also found in March and September with September being the lowest. However, the Wald test and Kruskal-Wallis test results indicate that there is no monthly effect in the stock returns. Finally, this study fails to detect any other persistent monthly effect.
