Liquidity Spillovers in Hedge Funds: Evidence from the Holdings of Funds of Hedge Funds
We examine whether funds of hedge funds (FoFs) engage in costly fire sales of their hedge fund investments during the 2004–2011 period. We find that FoFs experiencing large outflows tend to liquidate holdings in funds with relatively few redemption restrictions (“liquid funds”), even when these funds perform well. A tracking portfolio that buys liquid funds involved in fire sales over the prior...
