Book Synopsis Relationship Between Mutual Fund Flow and Fund Performance by : Jun Liu (S.M.)
Download or read book Relationship Between Mutual Fund Flow and Fund Performance written by Jun Liu (S.M.) and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page 48 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Use publically available data set on Chinese stock oriented mutual funds, examine whether the fund flow within one period depends on the past performance of this individual fund, and if there's a relationship, then what the detailed linkage between the past performance and the current period fund flow is. Different models involving regression will be used to exam the significance of each factor that may contribute to the relationship. The results found by using Chinese market data will be compared to developed markets, for example, the U.S. market, see if similar patterns appear in both markets.
Book Synopsis Three Essays on Mutual Funds by : Xuemei Guo

Book excerpt: This dissertation investigates the determinants of mutual fund flows and mutual fund performance. The first chapter examines the response of fund investors to style volatility and the impact of style volatility on the flow-performance relationship. Three main empirical findings are obtained using both a portfolio approach and a multivariate regression approach. First, I find that there is a significant positive relationship between the style volatility and the subsequent fund flows to mutual funds. This finding can be interpreted as either fund managers having style timing ability or fund managers catering to investors preferences or tastes. Second, the positive relationship between past style volatility and fund flows is less pronounced for funds with superior past performance. Lastly, fund style volatility has a dampening effect on the flow-performance relationship: the flow-performance sensitivity weakens by 12% when the past style volatility increases by one standard deviation. It is likely that performance is perceived as a less informative signal of investment ability for fund managers who follow inconsistent styles over time. The second chapter studies how the response of fund investors to past risk varies over business cycles. I employ the NBER boom indicator, the Consumer Sentiment Index, and the National Activity Index to proxy for economic conditions. I find that mutual fund investors react differently to risk across economic environments. Funds with more volatile past returns discourage fund investors. The investors’ demand for actively managed funds is higher under good market conditions. Fund flows are less responsive to risk during expansionary economic periods. This finding may indicate that fund investors are risk averse and become less risk averse in good market states. The third chapter empirically examines whether mutual fund performance is affected by prior family performance. I propose two testable hypotheses: the information and resource sharing hypothesis and the cross-fund subsidization hypothesis. The empirical findings suggest that there is a significant positive relationship between prior family performance and subsequent fund performance. This finding is consistent with the hypothesis that mutual funds in the same family share informational resources. This positive relation also justifies the finding in the mutual fund flow literature that fund flows are higher for funds with higher past family performance. Furthermore, I find that the predictive power of the prior family performance is stronger in larger fund families.

Book Synopsis Swing Pricing and Fragility in Open-end Mutual Funds by : Dunhong Jin
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.
Book Synopsis Mutual Fund Flow-Performance Relationship Under Volatile Market Condition by : Mingsheng Li
Download or read book Mutual Fund Flow-Performance Relationship Under Volatile Market Condition written by Mingsheng Li and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 40 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We analyze the relationship between flows and performance of Chinese mutual funds that trade in a volatile market environment. Consistent with existing literature, we find that the net flow to a fund is positively related to past fund performance. Contrary to previous studies using samples in the U.S. and other countries, our results do not exhibit an asymmetric flow-performance relationship, nor do we find any significant star effect in China. These results imply that market volatility plays an important role in reducing the asymmetric flow-performance relationship. Furthermore, we find that the positive relationship is more pronounced during bull markets than during bear markets. This suggests that Chinese mutual fund investors are more confident and invest more aggressively when stock markets perform well.

Download or read book Investment Criteria for Mutual Fund Selection written by Jan Harkopf and published by Anchor Academic Publishing. This book was released on 2016-10 with total page 93 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The importance of mutual funds for individual investors has increased in recent decades. This becomes apparent when looking at the increased share of households owning mutual funds. These mutual fund investors usually want to receive a return which is above or at least close to the mutual fund’s benchmark. Consequently, investors want to invest in those funds which will show these patterns in the future. Some of these mutual funds receive much attention, since they generate extraordinary high performance. But the question that remains is whether it is possible to predict such performance before funds exhibit such outstanding performance. In the past, mutual fund investors focused extensively on performance or performance linked patterns, like the Morningstar star rating, and thus chased past performance. This seems surprising since performance persists only over a short time and is more persistent to weak mutual funds (1 and 2 star rated) than well performing mutual funds. Thus, chasing past performances seems to be a rather inferior strategy. Therefore, investors should try to identify alternative tools showing a high correlation to future mutual fund performance. In this book, mutual funds are analysed, especially open-end mutual funds and actively managed mutual funds. The main focus is on what purpose and usefulness active investments have and whether performance is persistent and what the determinants of mutual fund flows are. Moreover, some alternative measures will be introduced by explaining which attributes or methods should be used and avoided when selecting mutual funds.

Book Synopsis International Mutual Fund Flows by : Dilip K. Patro
Download or read book International Mutual Fund Flows written by Dilip K. Patro and published by . This book was released on 2006 with total page 49 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The last few decades has witnessed a dramatic growth of U.S. based mutual funds that invest in non-U.S. stock markets. This paper provides a comprehensive analysis of flows into these international mutual funds for 1970-2003. Our analysis uncovers several new facts about mutual fund flows. First, the empirical findings show a strong relationship between flows into U.S. based international mutual funds and the correlation between the returns of the fund's assets and the returns of the U.S. market, consistent with investors' desire for international diversification. Furthermore, a stronger flow-performance relationship is observed when these correlations are low. As expected, the flows are lower when the volatility of the fund is higher. Second, the flows are related to contemporaneous and past fund returns supporting an 'information asymmetry' as well as 'return chasing' hypothesis for international capital flows. Finally, there is some evidence of fund outflows prior to or during the currency crises in emerging markets.
Book Synopsis Style Consistency, Fund Flow and Performance by : Russell B. Gregory-Allen
Download or read book Style Consistency, Fund Flow and Performance written by Russell B. Gregory-Allen and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 30 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This research investigates the relationship between mutual funds investment style consistency, the future funds performance, and funds net flow. Using a large sample of actively-managed U.S. equity mutual funds from Morningstar database, for the period from January 2002 to December 2011, 5555 mutual funds are classified into nine style categories. Our results support the findings from existing literatures that style consistency is of vital importance to fund performance. Taking a different approach we find that more style consistent funds tend to have better long term future performance. However, results suggest that style consistency is not related to future funds net flows, indicating that investors do not pay more attention to style consistency when making their future investment decisions.
Book Synopsis Understanding the Non-Linear Relation between Mutual Fund Performance and Flows by : George D. Cashman
Download or read book Understanding the Non-Linear Relation between Mutual Fund Performance and Flows written by George D. Cashman and published by . This book was released on 2008 with total page 45 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We examine gross flows to mutual funds and find that existing investors punish poorly performing funds by increasing outflows. We also find that existing and potential investors punish poorly performing funds by reducing inflows. Finally, we uncover that current investors respond to poor performance with the same intensity as they do to good performance. Overall, we conclude that new investors must drive the observed non-linearity between mutual fund performance and net flows. This conclusion runs contrary to the extant literature which generally ascribes the absence of net outflows in the face of poor performance to inactivity by existing fund investors (i.e., they do not exit).
Book Synopsis Real Estate Fund Flows and the Flow-Performance Relationship by : David H. Downs
Download or read book Real Estate Fund Flows and the Flow-Performance Relationship written by David H. Downs and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Convexity in the flow-performance relationship of traditional asset class mutual funds is widely documented, however, it cannot be assumed to hold for alternative asset classes. This paper addresses this shortcoming in the literature by examining the flow-performance relationship for real estate funds, specifically open-end, direct-property funds. This investment vehicle is designed to provide the risk-return benefits of private market real estate and is available to retail investors in many countries across the globe. An understanding of fund flow dynamics associated with this investment vehicle is of particular interest due to the liquidity risk associated with holding an inherently illiquid asset in an open-end structure. Our analysis draws on the theoretical foundations provided in the literature on mutual fund flows, performance chasing, liquidity risk, participation costs and dynamics across market cycles. We focus on German real estate funds from 1990 to 2010 as this is the largest market globally and there is a high level of confidence in the data. The results show that real estate fund investors chase past performance at the aggregate level and the relationship between flows and relative performance is asymmetric (i.e., convex) at the individual fund level. Fund-level liquidity risk tends to weaken convexity, while sensitivity increases with higher participation costs. We find the flow-performance relationship varies across time, though our interpretation is asset and investment vehicle specific. The implications are applicable to investors and fund managers of open-end, direct-property funds and, more broadly, other alternative asset funds where the underlying asset may not be liquid.
Book Synopsis What Drives the 'Smart-Money' Effect? Evidence from Investors' Money Flow to Mutual Fund Classes by : George J. Jiang
Download or read book What Drives the 'Smart-Money' Effect? Evidence from Investors' Money Flow to Mutual Fund Classes written by George J. Jiang and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 53 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The literature proposes two competing explanations -- the “smart-money” and “persistent-flow” hypotheses -- for the positive relation between mutual fund flow and future fund performance. We examine the flow-performance relation for different classes of U.S. domestic equity mutual funds. Our results show a stronger positive relation for the retail class than for the institutional class. More importantly, the significant relation for the retail class is mainly driven by funds with net outflow. This evidence is inconsistent with the smart-money hypothesis. We further show that retail funds exhibit greater persistence than institutional funds in net outflow. Once we control for expected fund flows, the flow-performance relation is no longer significant. We also perform robustness checks based on international funds and bond funds. The findings are supportive of the persistent-flow explanation.
Book Synopsis Fund Flows and Performance - a Study of Canadian Equity Funds by : Rajeeva Sinha
Download or read book Fund Flows and Performance - a Study of Canadian Equity Funds written by Rajeeva Sinha and published by . This book was released on 2005 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We study the behavior of mutual fund investors with a specific focus on fund flows - performance relationship. Using a comprehensive survivorship bias free sample of Canadian open-end equity mutual funds and panel data analysis we find evidence of a rational response of fund flows to upside and downside performance changes. Unlike the findings on US funds and investors, we find that investors neither chase winners nor hang on to losing funds. While investors do allocate funds based on past performance the allocations do not disproportionately in favor star funds. Poor performers experience significant fund withdrawals. Combined with the evidence on a positive association of returns variability with fund flows this fund flow performance relationship shows that the fund incentive structure is not biased towards greater risk taking by fund managers. The size of the fund family and previous fund allocations are also significant in influencing decisions on future fund allocations. We also show lack of short and longterm performance persistence. Inspite of the evidence on a rational response the returns realized by investors are lower than the returns reported by mutual funds suggesting poor ability to time the market.
Book Synopsis Participation Costs and the Sensitivity of Fund Flows to Past Performance by : Jennifer C. Huang
Download or read book Participation Costs and the Sensitivity of Fund Flows to Past Performance written by Jennifer C. Huang and published by . This book was released on 2006 with total page 55 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We present a simple rational model to highlight the effect of investors' participation costs on the response of mutual fund flows to past fund performance. By incorporating participation costs into a model in which investors learn about managers' ability from past returns, we show that mutual funds with lower participation costs have a higher flow sensitivity to medium performance and a lower flow sensitivity to high performance than their higher-cost peers. Using various fund characteristics as proxies for the reduction in participation costs, we provide empirical evidence supporting the model's implications for the asymmetric flow-performance relationship.
