The Fama-French model is a pricing model that was developed in the 1990s to account for additional factors when pricing assets. It considers both size risk and value risk factors, as value and small-cap stocks have historically tended to outperform markets. By including these two additional factors, the Fama-French model is thought to be a more robust method to price assets. Market risk is one of the three factors and is calculated by taking the portfolio's return less the risk free rate of return.
