%X In this study, the existence of low price effect in Istanbul Stock Exchange is investigated. We consider 283 stocks traded in Istanbul Stock Exchange for the period between January 01, 2011 and January 01, 2018. In this study, the associated risk is modeled by using conditional volatility models, namely GARCH (1,1), EGARCH (1,1), gjr-GARCH (1,1), APARCH (1,1) and the relations between stock prices and the risk adjusted returns are statistically tested. The findings show that the risk adjusted returns of high priced stocks, namely stocks whose price bands are [10, 20) are higher than that of both low priced and very high priced stocks. In other words, there exists an impact of price levels to the risk adjusted returns. However, the low price effect does not exist in Istanbul Stock Exchange in terms of risk adjusted returns. The study contributes the literature in several ways. First, to the best of authors¡¯ knowledge the current literature on Istanbul Stock Exchange lacks empirical evidence for the low price effect in terms of risk adjusted returns. In this context, this study fills the gap in the literature. Second, in this study the portfolios with few and large number of stocks are compared with a comprehensive simulation study. Finally, conditional variance for each portfolio are modelled simultaneously in order to better capture the impact of low price effect
