We classify “fund style” by the fund name and conduct a portfolio-based style analysis. The main results are as follows. First, the proportion of value-style and dividend-style funds is very high compared to other style types in active funds. Second, managers tend not to adhere strictly to the fund style classified by the fund name. Interestingly, the smaller the fund size, the weaker the style characteristics. This result suggests that the management industry neglects small funds and does not fulfill its fiduciary duty. Third, we find that the persistency of the growth style is far behind the value style, and both winner and loser styles have the lowest persistency among all styles. Fourth, timing abilities for market factor, size factor, and value factor are not observed in general, but the timing ability for momentum factor is significantly observed in the active fund group. Fifth, we define artificial fund styles with consistent style investment strategy and compare those with the actual fund styles. We find that the risk of artificial types is generally lower than that of actual types and that several artificial types dominate real types due to higher returns and smaller risks.

Purpose This paper aims to investigate whether idiosyncratic volatility is priced in returns of equity funds while controlling for fund size and return momentum. Design/methodology/approach Following Fama and French (1993), an idiosyncratic volatility mimicking factor and a fund-size factor are constructed. The pricing ability of this idiosyncratic volatility mimicking factor is investigated in the context of Carhart (1997). Findings Idiosyncratic volatility is an important pricing factor even when controlling for fund size and momentum. In addition, idiosyncratic volatility is strongly and positively associated with the momentum effect. Further, when controlling for the association between the momentum effect and idiosyncratic volatility, the explanatory power of the momentum factor almost disappears, which suggests the pricing of idiosyncratic volatility mediates momentum and returns. Originality/value These findings imply that both the idiosyncratic volatility factor and the fund-size factor should not be ignored by fund managers when evaluating the performance of the equity funds.

This study aims to discover the factors that affect equity fund performance in companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) during 2015–2018. This research is quantitative. Past performance, stock selection skills, market timing abilities, fund size, fund age are independent variables, while fund performance is the dependent variable. The population in this study was 73 equity funds. A total of 21 equity funds were selected as the sample by the purposive sampling method. The analytical method used is panel data regression analysis using the EViews program. Hypotheses were tested using a t-test with a significance level of alpha 0.05. The results show that equity fund past performance, stock selection skill, market timing ability, fund size, fund age and IDX composite index simultaneously have a significant effect on equity fund performance. Stock selection skill and IDX composite index partially have a positive and significant effect on equity fund performance. However, past performance, market timing ability, fund size and fund age have no positive and significant effect on equity fund performance.

This study analyzes performance of PEFs in Korea. Using the unique return data of 134 private equity funds collected from limited partners (LP) including pension funds, this study explores performance differences by investment step, strategy, timing, and fund size. This study also investigates risk adjusted return, return on economic cycles, and likelihood of performance exaggeration by general partners (GP) on liquidated funds. In addition, this paper examines factors to affect PEF performance. We find that Korean PEF records 6.12% of IRR and 1.22 of investment multiple on average. Fund performance is also found to be superior in liquidated funds by investment step, buyout funds by investment strategy, and small funds by fund size. As the result of analyzing performance of only liquidated funds, reflecting the nature of private equity funds where most of the profits are realized at the time of harvesting, we find that risk adjusted returns by measuring KS-PME, PME+, and direct alpha overperform market returns, and that funds liquidated during the recession display higher returns than funds liquidated during the boom. In terms of factors affecting performance, fund performance is negatively related to fund life, market return, and GDP growth rate.

The purpose of this research is to analyze the characteristic style of sharia equity funds such as asset allocation, investment strategy, and evaluation of its performance. The analysis technique used in this study is return based style analysis by observing ten asset class factor and eight of sharia equity funds in Indonesia. The results found that sharia equity fund in Indonesia allocates funds to the Sharia shares in almost all asset class factor with passive strategy, but the actual performance has not been able to outperform its style performance. Only one from eight Equity funds can outperform its style by using a more passive strategy compared to other equity funds. Its result indicates that almost all sharia equity funds in Indonesia do not choose the correct investment strategy style.

Comprehensive Study

This paper presents the first comprehensive study of the performance and market timing ability of the equity funds that comprise the Hong Kong Mandatory Provident Funds (MPF) scheme. In general, our results suggest that US equity funds consistently underperform relative to the market, while the other fund groups consistently outperform the market. The stock-selection ability of MPF constituent equity funds in times of changing economic condition is also investigated. The evidence is consistent with previous studies, which suggest that the conditional models decrease the individual fund traditional alpha measure. The market timing models of Treynor–Mazuy and Henriksson–Merton provide evidence of superior market timing ability.

Public Equity

While the vast majority of SWFs invest in public equity and fixed income vehicles, about half invest in private equity (PE). PE includes several different types of funds investing in companies at different stages of development. Some 78% of SWFs investing in PE invest in buyouts stage funds; 72% in venture capital stage funds; 66% in growth stage funds, while 56% invest in funds investing in companies at the expansion stage. Only 41% have a strategy to invest in distressed company funds while 38% invest in the secondaries funds market. Some 14% of institutional capital raised by PE equity funds in 2015 came from sovereign wealth. This chapter argues that SWF investment in PE funds is more likely to be part of an investment strategy that seeks to maximize returns because investment in PE funds does not afford the SWF direct control over firms bought using PE funds.

Purpose Since the introduction of VIX to measure the spot volatility in the stock market, VIX and its futures have been widely considered to be the standard of underlying investor sentiment. This study aims to examine how the magnitude of contango or backwardation (MCB volatility risk factor) derived from VIX and VIX3M may affect the pricing of assets. Design/methodology/approach This paper focuses on the statistical inference of three defined MCB risk factors when cross-examined with Fama–French’s five factors: the market factor Rm–Rf, the size factor SMB (small minus big), the value factor HML (high minus low B/M), the profitability factor RMW (robust minus weak) and the investing factor CMA (conservative minus aggressive). Robustness checks are performed with the revised HML-Dev factor, as well as with daily data sets. Findings The inclusions of the MCB volatility risk factor, either defined as a spread of monthly VIX3M/VIX and its monthly MA(20), or as a monthly net return of VIX3M/VIX, generally enhance the explanatory power of all factors in the Fama and French’s model, in particular the market factor Rm–Rf and the value factor HML, and the investing factor CMA also displays a significant and positive correlation with the MCB risk factor. When the more in-time adjusted HML-Dev factor, suggested by Asness (2014), replaces the original HML factor, results are generally better and more intuitive, with a higher R2 for the market factor and more explanatory power with HML-Dev. Originality/value This paper introduces the term structure of VIX to Fama–French’s asset pricing model. The MCB risk factor identifies underlying configurations of investor sentiment. The sensitivities to this timing indicator will significantly relate to returns across individual stocks or portfolios.

The use and effect of derivatives and short selling by US equity and bond open-end mutual funds are studied using a large and unique database. We find that the likelihood of their use is positively related to fund size, family size, and fund turnover for both fund types except for short selling by equity funds from larger families. Our findings suggest that funds that use derivatives exhibit significantly higher benchmark-adjusted performances based on both gross- and net-of-fees returns. This is done without adversely affecting market betas, net expense ratios (NERs), or brokerage fees as a proportion of total net assets (TNA). We find that for bond funds derivative use is negatively associated with non-systematic risk and short selling use is positively associated with total and systematic risk.
