This study aimed to analyze the influence of future expectations of book-to-market ratio (B/M) and Return on Equity (ROE) as additional variables to the current B/M ratio in explaining the returns of the Brazilian capital market. Primarily, we investigate the contribution of these three fundamentalist variables in explaining changes on stock returns. Comparatively, was also analyzed the explanatory power of traditional asset pricing models formed with proxies for risk factors: beta, size, B/M ratio, momentum and liquidity. Finally, we verified the consistency of the fundamental variables after combinations of these control variables. The population consisted of all non-financial companies with shares traded on the Bolsa de Valores de São Paulo - BOVESPA from January 1995 to December 2010. The forecast variables were estimated by a linear dynamic panel (ARELLANO, BOND, 1991) with a lag. To analyze the contribution of the variables in explaining the returns of the Brazilian market, we used panel data regressions between annual stock returns and the two groups of explanatory variables. Referring to the fundamentalist variables analyzed, we found that when they were used separately as a multifactor model, the future estimates of the B/M ratio and ROE were not statistically significant and had low explanatory power, suggesting that they have no relevance to the explanation of Brazilian stock returns. The expectations of B/M ratio and ROE were also combined with the current B/M ratio, forming an aggregate forecast variable. It was found that this variable was statistically significant and provided a considerable increase in the explanatory power of models that included it. Thus, Hypotheses 2 and 3 that the future expectations of B/M ratio and future expectations of ROE explain part of the variations on stock returns in Brazil cannot be rejected. The B/M ratio was tested as fundamentalist variable as proxy for risk factor, representing an overlapping variable between the two approaches. The results showed that the B/M ratio was positive and statistically significant in both the fundamental approach and the risk factors approach. Furthermore, when combined in the joint models, it contributed as a risk factor and as a component of the aggregate forecast variable. Thus, the Hypothesis 1 that B/M ratio explains part of changes in Brazilian stock returns cannot be rejected. With respect to the proxies of risk factors, we verified the existence of the B/M effect, a reversed momentum effect and a liquidity premium in the Brazilian capital market. In contrast, there was not found a size effect in the period analyzed. Moreover, the results obtained in this dissertation might contribute to the establishment of investment strategies in the stock market, since the B/M ratio plus the forecasts of the B/M ratio and ROE for the following year were able to explain some of the variations on stock returns for the same period.
