Book Synopsis Spillover Effects of Marketing in Mutual Fund Families by : Marno Verbeek
Download or read book Spillover Effects of Marketing in Mutual Fund Families written by Marno Verbeek and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page 44 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper investigates the presence of spillover effects of marketing in mutual fund families. We find that funds with high marketing expenses generate spillovers, and enhance cash inflows to family members with low marketing expenses. In particular, low-marketing funds that are operated by a family with high marketing expenses have substantially larger inflows after positive returns than otherwise similar funds that are operated by a family with low marketing expenses, while they have smaller outflows after negative returns. One way to interpret the spillovers is that they are a by-product of individual fund marketing whereby the entire family is made more visible to investors. An alternative explanation of this observation is that funds with low marketing expenses are directly subsidized by family members with high marketing expenses. We develop and perform a set of tests to evaluate these two alternative hypotheses. The results of all tests support the subsidization hypothesis, and suggest that at least part of the spillovers can be attributed to favoritism. These results suggest that conflicts of interest between investors and fund families have been exacerbated by competition in the mutual fund industry.
Book Synopsis The Advertising Spillover Effect by : An-Pin Wei
Download or read book The Advertising Spillover Effect written by An-Pin Wei and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 30 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Prior studies have found that a firm's advertising for one of its products can spill over and enhance sales for other existing products with the same brand name. This study examines whether the advertising spillover effect exists in the mutual fund market. The evidence shows that advertised funds in a fund family can significantly increase the cash flows of other higher-performing funds in the same family but not for those funds with middle and lower performance. For the fund family's advertising, results indicate that fund family's advertising can significantly increase the family cash flows for large fund families but not for those small fund families.
Book Synopsis Spillover Effects in Mutual Fund Companies by : Clemens Sialm
Download or read book Spillover Effects in Mutual Fund Companies written by Clemens Sialm and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page 48 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Our paper investigates spillover effects across different business segments of publicly traded mutual fund management companies. We find that the prior stock price performance of the management company has a significant impact on the money flows and the management turnover of the affiliated mutual funds. Mutual funds managed by poorly performing firms experience unexpectedly low flows of new money and exhibit a significantly higher attrition of fund managers even if the mutual funds themselves performed well. Our results remain strong for companies where mutual funds account for only a small fraction of the overall revenues and hold for both equity and bond mutual funds. These results indicate that the financial health of a diversified firm has a significant impact on the prospects of the various business segments.
Book Synopsis Conflicts of Interest and Competition in the Mutual Fund Industry by : Ajay Khorana
Download or read book Conflicts of Interest and Competition in the Mutual Fund Industry written by Ajay Khorana and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page 44 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mutual fund investors generally desire high risk-adjusted performance at low cost, which is not necessarily the objective of fund families. Fund families generally want to maximize assets under management (i.e., their market share) and the resulting management fees. This paper examines how these conflicting objectives affect competition and investor behavior in the mutual fund industry for the universe of U.S. mutual fund families over the period 1979-1998. Over this period, industry assets increased by a factor of twenty, the number of active fund families tripled, and the average market share of a family declined by two thirds. We find that price competition is important in the industry. Families that charge lower fees than the competition gain market share, but only if these fees are above average to begin with. Low-cost families do not lose market share by charging higher fees. In addition, fees charged explicitly for marketing and distribution (12b-1 fees) have a positive impact on market share. We find no evidence that investors derive any benefit from 12b-1 fees. Product differentiation strategies are also effective in obtaining market share. Families that perform better, and start more funds relative to the competition (a measure of innovation) have a higher market share. Innovation is rewarded more if the new fund is more differentiated from existing offerings and is in a less crowded objective. Finally, market share within an investment objective is driven primarily by a family's policies within that objective, but there are important performance spillover effects from other funds in the family. Our findings are robust to various tests for endogeneity of the explanatory variables. Overall, this paper highlights a number of conflicts between fund families and investors.

Book Synopsis Spillover Effects in SRI Fund Families by : Fajri Adrianto
Download or read book Spillover Effects in SRI Fund Families written by Fajri Adrianto and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page 40 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper investigates spillovers in cash flow to SRI funds within the fund family due to the existence of a star (poor) performing peer SRI fund. Using a sample of SRI funds domiciled in the U.S. and considering survivorship, we find a positive spillover effect from having a star SRI fund on the monthly cash flow of their SRI siblings. However, the reverse is not found in the presence of a poor SRI performer. The spillover effect is more pronounced in SRI funds with a lower opportunity set, as shown by the higher contribution of the star (poor) performers to the flow of combined-ESG and environmental funds. Having a star conventional fund provides insignificant contributions to the flow of SRI siblings, suggesting that SRI investors are concerned only with the performance of SRI funds. Further, the magnitude of the spillover effect in SRI fund families is lower than in conventional fund families.
Book Synopsis The Mutual Fund Industry by : R. Glenn Hubbard
Download or read book The Mutual Fund Industry written by R. Glenn Hubbard and published by Columbia University Press. This book was released on 2010 with total page 254 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mutual funds form the bedrock of retirement savings in the United States, and, considering their rapid growth over recent decades, are sure to become even more financially critical in the coming decades. Because the size of fees paid by investors to mutual fund advisers can strongly affect the return on investment, these fees have become contentious in Congress and the courts, with many arguing that investment advisers grow rich at the expense of investors. This groundbreaking book not only conceptualizes a new economic model for the industry but uses this model to test price competition between investment advisers. Its highly experienced authors track the growth of the industry over the past twenty-five years and present the arguments and evidence both for and against theories of adviser malfeasance, as well as the assertion that market forces fail to protect investors' returns from excessive fees. The volume briefly reviews the regulatory history of mutual fund fees and leading case decisions addressing excessive fees. It also reveals the extent to which the governance structure of mutual funds impacts fund performance. There is no greater text for those who seek to understand today's mutual fund industry, including investors, money managers, fund directors, securities lawyers, economists, and those concerned with regulatory policy toward mutual funds

Book Synopsis Mutual Fund Flows and Cross-Fund Learning Within Families by : David P. Brown
Download or read book Mutual Fund Flows and Cross-Fund Learning Within Families written by David P. Brown and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 69 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We develop a model of performance evaluation and fund flows for mutual funds in a family. Family performance has two effects on the estimate of a member fund's skill and its inflows: a positive common-skill effect, and a negative correlated-noise effect. The overall spillover is either positive or negative, depending on the weight of common skill and correlation of noise in returns. Its absolute value increases with family size, and declines over time. The sensitivity of flows to a fund's own performance is affected accordingly. Empirical estimates of fund flow sensitivities show patterns consistent with rational cross-fund learning within families.
Book Synopsis Managerial Replacements in Mutual Fund Families by : Jerry T. Parwada
Download or read book Managerial Replacements in Mutual Fund Families written by Jerry T. Parwada and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 40 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper examines managerial replacements made by mutual fund families. Using a unique hand-collected dataset of 5,242 managerial replacement events from 1990 to 2011, this study finds fund's performance and flow ranking at the fund family level form the basis of mutual fund families' disciplinary decisions. Specifically, mutual fund families are more likely to replace fund managers ranked at the bottom of fund families in terms of performance and flows. While this study does not observe any spillover effect of replacing bottom performing managers, the replacement of top performing managers generates negative spillover (both performance and flows) effects on other funds in the family. In further tests, this study finds managerial replacements to be more prevalent in larger fund families and families with high turnover ratios. Finally, the replacement of bottom performing managers explain future families' performance and money flows, suggesting that there is economic value attached to the monitoring activities of mutual fund families.
Book Synopsis The Role of Money Market Mutual Funds in Mutual Fund Families by : Anna Agapova
Download or read book The Role of Money Market Mutual Funds in Mutual Fund Families written by Anna Agapova and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 16 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study examines cross-sectional differences among money market mutual funds (MMMFs) in the context of sponsoring fund families. The study finds that flows to family non-MMMFs are negatively related to family MMMF flows, and family non-MMMF cash flow volatility is positively related to family MMMF cash flow volatility. This suggests that families can offset cash transactions between MMMFs and non-MMMFs and that families place non-MMMFs cash in family MMMFs. Furthermore, loads positively affect cash flow volatility of MMMFs, suggesting that fund family investors also use family MMMFs as cash centers by utilizing free asset transfers within the family. Application of these strategies can translate into significant benefits for the fund family and its investors.
Book Synopsis The Importance of Family by : William Christopher Gerken
Download or read book The Importance of Family written by William Christopher Gerken and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page 54 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We examine the effect of investors' prior experience with mutual fund families on their subsequent investment decisions. Using a sample from a large discount broker, we find that investors are significantly more likely to purchase funds from families with which they have previous experience. Our results are consistent with the influence of family-level reputation and robust to alternative explanations such as service quality, fee discounts, marketing, blind loyalty, or inertia. Further consistent with reputation theories, individuals' beliefs about more reputable families appear to change slowly. After experience-based purchases, investors earn higher returns even controlling for investor ability and within-family correlation.

Book Synopsis Why are Some Mutual Funds Closed to New Investors? by : Xinge Zhao
Download or read book Why are Some Mutual Funds Closed to New Investors? written by Xinge Zhao and published by . This book was released on 2003 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fund families typically claim that closing a fund protects the fund's superior performance by preventing it from growing too large to be managed efficiently. Even though funds with better performance and larger size are more likely to be closed, there is no evidence that closing a fund can indeed protect its performance. Instead, fund-closing decisions are more likely to be motivated by spillover effects - by closing a star fund, the fund family signals its superior performance and also brings investors' attention and investments to other funds in the family. Some evidence exists to suggest that the closing strategy is effective in generating higher inflows into the rest of the family, at least in the short run.
