对 1991 年和 1992 年共同基金持股横截面的调查表明,共同基金明显偏爱知名度高、交易成本低的股票,而厌恶特殊波动性低的股票。这些发现与有关投资者认可、共同基金潜在代理问题、共同基金趋势跟踪和羊群行为测试以及公司财务的理论相关。美国金融协会版权所有 1996。
This investigation of the cross-section of mutual fund equity holdings for the years 1991 and 1992 shows that mutual funds have a significant preference towards stocks with high visibility and low transaction costs, and are averse to stocks with low idiosyncratic volatility. These findings are relevant to theories concerning investor recognition, a potential agency problem in mutual funds, tests of trend-following and herd behavior by mutual funds, and corporate finance.
