Evaluating Mutual Fund Performance
We study standard mutual fund performance measures, using simulated funds whose characteristics mimic actual funds. We find that performance measures used in previous mutual fund research have little ability to detect economically large magnitudes ~e.g., three percent per year! of abnormal fund performance, particularly if a fund’s style characteristics differ from those of the value-weighted m...
متن کاملStyle Dispersion and Mutual Fund Performance∗
We estimate investment style dispersions for individual actively managed equity mutual funds, which describe how widely fund investments are distributed around the core fund style along the dimensions of size, book-to-market, and momentum, respectively. We find that high style dispersions, especially that along the size dimension, are associated with superior fund performance, consistent with h...

This paper explores the role of social networks in the portfolio allocation decisions and performance of mutual fund managers. Using a novel dataset, I examine the past employment networks of both mutual fund managers and firm executives. I find that fund managers place larger bets and perform significantly better on firms when they are connected to a senior executive of that firm through overl...

I study whether this difference in performance can be explained by the differences in managerial stock sel...

Risk shifting might be caused by ill-motivated trades of unskilled or agency-prone fund managers who trade to increase their personal compensation. Alternatively, risk shifting might occur when skilled fund managers trade to take advantage of their stock selection and timing abilities. This paper investigates the performance consequ...
