The Persistence of European Bond Fund Performance
In this paper we investigate if past performance can be used to predict future performance in the European bond fund market. Both unconditional and conditional measures of performance are considered. To our knowledge, this is the first study which directly analyses the impact of conditioning information in assessing the persistence phenomenon for bond funds. . We find empirical evidence that in...
متن کاملPerformance Persistence of Pension Fund Managers
This paper examines persistence over time in the performance of fund managers responsible for making the investment decisions of UK pension funds. Previous work on UK pension funds found little evidence of fund manager persistence, but we argue that this may have been due to survivorship bias in the construction of these data samples, which may have disguised true persistence. Using a large sam...
متن کاملMutual Fund Management: Does Active Management Pay?
Recent studies have documented a positive relation between active management and mutual fund performance. We show that this relation holds only for fund managers who trade in an optimal way. The optimality measure that we develop, “investment alpha”, captures whether a mutual fund is trading towards mean-variance optimality, which, we argue, is the first best choice for mutual fund managers. Th...
متن کاملHedge Fund Performance Persistence over Different Market Conditions
We provide novel evidence that hedge fund performance is persistent following periods of relative hedge fund market weakness, but not following periods of relative market strength. Specifically, we construct two performance measures, DownsideReturns and UpsideReturns, conditioning on whether the overall hedge fund market return is below or above its sample median. After adjusting for risk and f...
متن کاملOn the Impact of Closet Indexing in Active Fund Management
We propose a simple model to quantify the performance impact of closet-indexing in equity fund management, with a focus on mutual funds. The model requires only two inputs: the Sharpe ratio of the market index and the Rsquare from a regression of a fund’s excess returns on systematic factor returns. Due to pervasive closet-indexing, R-squares are uniformly close to one, regardless of the asset ...
