Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The past decade's bull market in U.S. stock market and the experience in recent Asian financial crisis raised interesting questions on the impact of institutional investors (mutual funds, pension funds and hedge funds) on financial markets. Mutual funds in US have experienced unprecedented growth in recent years. Many believe that the U.S. equity bull market of the 1990's is attributable to the huge flows of funds into equity mutual funds during this period, and that a withdrawal of those funds could send stock prices plummeting. This article investigates the relationship between aggregate monthly mutual fund flows (sales, redemptions, and net sales) and stock and bond monthly returns during a 30-year period beginning January l961, utilizing both Granger causality and instrumental variables analysis. We also tests a variety of financial theories that may explain how mutual funds may affect financial markets.The main findings are as follows. First, on whether flows cause return, with one exception, flows into stock and bond funds have not affected either stock and bond returns. The exception is 1971-81, when widespread redemptions from equity mutual funds significantly depressed stock returns. On the other hand, on whether returns cause flows, the magnitude of flows into both stock and bond funds are significantly affected by stock and bond returns.These findings suggest, first, that the recent run-up in stock prices cannot be attributed to the rapid growth of equity mutual funds during the 1980's and 1997's; and, second, that the possibility of a mutual-fund-induced downward price spiral in stock prices cannot be ruled out. The results for the 1971-81 period suggest that in a quot;downquot; stock market, when stock returns are low and mutual fund redemptions are high, outflows of funds from mutual funds could put downward pressure on stock prices. This is consistent with a noise-trader view of markets. It should be recognized, however, that current mutual fund investors are different from those during 1971-81. Today, more than half of stock and bond mutual fund assets owned by households are held in some type of retirement plan. Thus, current mutual fund investors may have different investment objectives and longer investment horizons than those in 1971-81, and may behave differently in a market downturn.

Download or read book Swing Pricing and Fragility in Open-end Mutual Funds written by Dunhong Jin and published by International Monetary Fund. This book was released on 2019-11-01 with total page 46 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How to prevent runs on open-end mutual funds? In recent years, markets have observed an innovation that changed the way open-end funds are priced. Alternative pricing rules (known as swing pricing) adjust funds’ net asset values to pass on funds’ trading costs to transacting shareholders. Using unique data on investor transactions in U.K. corporate bond funds, we show that swing pricing eliminates the first-mover advantage arising from the traditional pricing rule and significantly reduces redemptions during stress periods. The positive impact of alternative pricing rules on fund flows reverses in calm periods when costs associated with higher tracking error dominate the pricing effect.

This book was released on 2021-04-29 with total page 48 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper assesses liquidity risk for the United States (U.S.) bond mutual funds industry and performs a range of analyses to identify which fund categories are more vulnerable to distress than others, and how sales from funds can impact financial stability. We develop a new measure to identify vulnerable categories based on expected outflows labelled ‘Flows in Distress’. Overall, most U.S. mutual funds are resilient yet high yield (HY) and loan funds would face a liquidity shortfall when faced with severe redemption shocks. Combined sales from funds can have a sizeable price impact. Finally, our contagion analysis using data on fund flows and returns shows that Investment Grade (IG) corporate bonds funds, municipal bond funds and government bond funds are more likely to spread distress to other fund categories than HY, EM and loan funds. When the first type of funds experiences stress, other funds categories are likely to experience stress as well.

This book was released on 2015-12-28 with total page 36 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An analysis of mutual-fund-level flow data into EM bond and equity markets confirms that different types of funds behave differently. Bond funds are more sensitive to global factors and engage more in return chasing than equity funds. Flows from retail, open-end, and offshore funds are more volatile. Global funds are more stable in their EM investments than “dedicated” EM funds. Differences in the stability of flows from ultimate investors play a key role in explaining these patterns. The changing mix of global investors over the past 15 year has probably made portfolio flows to EMs more sensitive to global financial conditions.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dramatic changes in information and telecommunications technologies have transformed U.S. financial markets in the 1980s and 1990s. This book examines the growth of mutual funds and derivatives markets and the decline of banks and explores implications of those developments for financial stability and regulatory policy. One of the book's central conclusions is that the current system of bank regulation is out of step with today's financial realities and needs to be substantially changed. Franklin Edwards asserts that the best way to increase the freedom of financial institutions to compete while making the financial system less vulnerable to excessive risk-taking by individual financial institutions is to adopt a system of collateralized banking. He shows how adopting such a system will result in a more stable financial system, both by reducing our reliance on government to maintain financial soundness and by enhancing the effectiveness of private markets in controlling institutional risk taking.

Book excerpt: "We study common determinants of daily bid-ask spreads and trading volume for the bond and stock markets over the 1991-98 period. We find that spread changes in one market are affected by lagged spread and volume changes in both markets. Further, spread and volume changes are predictable to a considerable degree using lagged market returns, lagged interest rates, lagged spreads, and lagged volume. During periods of financial crisis, stock and bond spreads and volume are more volatile and become more highly correlated; moreover, at these times, money supply positively affects financial market liquidity, albeit with a lag of two weeks. During normal times, increases in mutual fund flows enhance stock market liquidity and trading volume, but during financial crises, U.S. government bond funds see higher inflows, resulting in increased bond market liquidity. Overall, this study deepens our understanding of the dynamics of liquidity in financial markets and suggests how asset allocation strategies might be designed to reduce trading costs"--Federal Reserve Bank of New York web site.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This engaging book offers a primer on stocks and bonds, using easy-to-understand language to explain how they function and why they are important. It will be a valuable resource for both economics students and readers interested in investing. Although news outlets provide daily updates on stock market performance, many Americans have little understanding of how stocks and stock exchanges work. Yet stocks, along with government and corporate bonds, represent two key cornerstones of modern economics. While the average American may think of them as simply two types of investments, stocks and bonds have impacts on the economy that go far beyond the realm of personal finance. The latest volume in Greenwood's new Student Guides to Business and Economics series, Stocks and Bonds gives readers an in-depth yet reader-friendly look at these integral components of the U.S. and global economy. It explores the different types of bonds, how stocks and stock exchanges work, and why periodic crashes and crises occur. It explains fundamental concepts such as risk versus return, interest rates, and behavioral economics, using real-world examples to illustrate key points. It also provides practical tried-and-true recommendations for investing in stocks and bonds.
