Note(s): Stocks are sorted by the left-tail risk measure for each month, and the value-weighted portfolio returns for the following month are computed. High-Low in the last column represents the zero-cost long-short portfolio that buys Portfolio 5 and sells Portfolio 1. The Newey–West adjusted t-statistics with a lag of 12 are reported in parentheses. ***, ** and * indicate the 1%, 5% and 10% statistical significance, respectively
