This paper uses the LSV model and the VOL volatility index, as well as the quarterly position data of equity funds and partial equity hybrid funds from the first quarter of 2007 to the fourth quarter of 2019 to conduct an empirical study on the herd behavior of both kinds of funds. Then establish a connection with the volatility of the Shanghai Stock Exchange over the same period. The results show that the overall trend of herd behavior between equity funds and partial equity hybrid funds is almost completely opposite. Equity funds have a stronger herd behavior in buying, while partial equity hybrid funds have a stronger herd behavior in selling. Meanwhile, when the volatility of the Shanghai Composite Index increased significantly, the herd behavior in selling both increased.

Este estudio intenta analizar e identificar la presencia de comportamiento de rebaño entre los inversores, utilizando los rendimientos diarios de 387 acciones que cotizan en la Bolsa de Valores de Pakistán (PSX) desde el 1 de enero de 2009 hasta el 31 de diciembre de 2017. También investiga las diferencias en el comportamiento de los inversores en diferentes condiciones de mercado y en diferentes sectores listados en PSX. El estudio utiliza el modelo CSAD (dispersión seccional absoluta) propuesto por (Chang et al., 2000) para probar la presencia de comportamiento de pastoreo en PSX. Los resultados del estudio no respaldan la existencia generalizada de pastoreo en la Bolsa de Valores de Pakistán en general, mientras que el análisis sectorial (específico de la industria) revela evidencia de pastoreo en 4 sectores que figuran en la Bolsa de Valores de Pakistán.

Behavioral Finance is an evolving field that studies how psychological factors affect decision making under uncertainty. Herding behavior is one of the psychological factors that instigate investor to mimic the actions of other investors in the market rather than using his personal assessments. This study seeks to find the influence of certain attitudinal factors namely, decision conformity, hasty decision, mood, decision accuracy, and overconfidence, on the individual investor tendency to embrace herd behavior. Primary data for the study are collected using structured questionnaires from a sample of 194 investors who are trading at Islamabad and Lahore branches of Pakistan Stock Exchange. Multiple linear regression analysis is used to test the hypotheses of this study. Findings of this study provide evidence that attitudinal factors have a significant influence on investor’s tendency to take on herd behavior. It is concluded from the results of multiple linear regression that decision conformity, mood, and decision accuracy have a significant impact on individual investor tendency to adopt herd behavior. However, investor hasty decision and overconfidence is insignificant predictors of herd behavior. Keywords: Decision conformity, Hasty decision, Mood, Decision accuracy, Overconfidence, Herd behavior
