The purpose of this study is to evaluate the asset pricing models for Borsa Istanbul. Within this scope, we apply Capital Asset Pricing Model, Fama-French Three Factor Model, and Fama-French Five Factor Model. This study covers the firms listed in BIST 100 index between 2005 and 2017 years. The findings show that Fama-French Five Factor Model is the best performing model when we compare Capital Asset Pricing Model and Fama-French Three Factor Model. The regression estimations findings provide evidence that there are still the size and value premiums, but these premiums are not strong and the market premium is an important factor for Borsa Istanbul. In addition, there are strong investment patterns in the average returns and there is a profitability premium but not unambiguously strong in explaining the stock returns. On the other hand, the factor spanning tests prove that profitability is a non-redundant factor. Moreover, through the factor spanning tests, we can say that the value premium is a redundant factor and it does not improve the description of average return.
