Mutual Fund Corporate Culture and Performance

SSRN Electronic Journal, 2011
AbstractIn this paper we test if a mutual fund's own corporate culture predicts fund performance. To do this we use Morningstar's corporate culture ratings for mutual funds and then examine the ability of these corporate culture ratings to predict risk‐adjusted performance of domestic equity funds over the period 2005–2010.

Portfolio concentration and mutual fund performance

Journal of Empirical Finance, 2016
Mutual fund managers should choose to increase the concentration of their portfolio when they possess information of great enough expected value to offset the risks of increased concentration. Consistent with that idea, we find that fund performance improves after concentration increases.

Gross profitability and mutual fund performance

Journal of Banking & Finance, 2019
We find that mutual funds holding a larger concentration of high gross profitability stocks generate better future performance. The outperformance of these funds is not driven by a profitability-related risk premium and is not a byproduct of fund managers’ exploitation of other well-known investment strategies.

Research in International Business and Finance, 2012
This paper examines the performance and persistence in performance of style-consistent European equity mutual funds between 1988 and 2010. Using a large survivorship bias-free sample for six European countries, we document strong evidence of persistence in benchmark-adjusted returns over 1-year time periods as well as over longer periods.

2011
This paper explores the relationship between mutual fund performance and age of fund. We analyze a sample of long-established mutual funds; comparing raw returns, objective adjusted, and market adjusted returns at different age progressions.
