Haider Rabiei, Financial Consultant, Iran

Assets' growth as an index for management performance measurement is a robust predictor for corporations, condition and future investment opportunities which has impact on investors' and other investment market players' decision.
This study focused on the impact of different factors on asset growth using panel data of 446 companies which are active in investment markets in Persian Gulf regions for 2009 to 2017. In order to estimate the growth of assets the OLS is applied after reviewing classic hypothesis, collinearity, stationary and lack of spurious regression.

Accordingly it is concluded that return on assets, size of operational risk and capital structure have positive and significant impact while financial leverage, and firms size have a negative and significant impact on asset growth. Productivity ratio isn’t significant and has negative correlation with asset growth.
Keywords: Assets' growth, Return on Asset (ROA), Size of operational risk, Capital Structure, Financial Leverage, productivity ratio, firm size.
