Факторы инвестиционной привлекательности закрытого паевого инвестиционного фонда недвижимости

Изменение экономической конъюнктуры в условиях кризиса сопровождается значительным перетоком капитала с одного финансового рынка на другой. При этом инвестиционная привлекательность различных финансовых инструментов меняется, приводя к изменению структуры инвестиционного портфеля. Актуальность исследования заключается в росте привлекательности инвестиций на рынке недвижимости в условиях кризиса, вызывающем интерес к такому инструменту инвестиций, как закрытый паевой инвестиционный фонд недвижимости. Целью данного исследования является систематизация факторов инвестиционной привлекательности закрытого паевого фонда недвижимости.

Noise-trading, Costly Arbitrage, and Asset Prices: Evidence from US Closed-end Funds

The behavior of US closed-end funds is very different from that of the UK funds studied by Gemmill and Thomas (2002). There is no evidence that their discounts are constrained by arbitrage barriers, no evidence that higher expenses increase discounts and no evidence that replication risk increases discounts—but strong evidence that noise-trader risk is priced. The differences between US and UK funds may be due to the fact that small investors dominate US funds while institutional investors dominate UK funds, or because the sample selection method for the UK funds chooses only funds that are relatively easy to arbitrage.

TESTING THE INCOMPLETE ARBITRATE HYPOTHESIS: EVIDENCE FROM AUSTRALIAN WHOLESALE SUPERANNUATION FUNDS

This paper tests the efficiency of capital markets when information is costly to obtain by analysing the performance of Australian wholesale superannuation funds specialising in the management of domestic equity portfolios from 1991 through 1999. Using a fund regression approach, the paper finds evidence that is consistent with an incomplete arbitrage function, with investment managers generating returns sufficiently high to compensate them for the increased costs of active asset selection. Risk-adjusted returns in the Australian superannuation fund industry, net of management fees and expenses, are comparable to the returns from a passive asset selection policy.Superannuation funds, Australia

Market Timing and Selectivity: Evidence from Australian Equity Superannuation Funds

In this performance evaluation study, two questions are addressed. First, do active fund managers possess macro and micro forecasting skills that deliver superior risk-adjusted returns? Second, what is the nature of market timing/stock selectivity trade off in the generation of alpha? The answers from this study are as follows: as an industry, managers delivered inferior returns for superannuation investors for the period 1991 through 1999. The study provides little evidence that the Australian funds management industry holds sufficient macro and/or micro forecasting abilities to generate positive alpha. While previous research has found that inferior market timing decisions are compensated for by superior stock selection skills, this study finds no substantive inverse relationship between timing and selectivity.Performance evaluation; Timing; Selectivity.

Convenience in the mutual fund industry

Abstract I examine the role of convenience in the mutual fund industry. I find that investors pay more for relatively convenient funds, and that the flows to convenient funds are less responsive to performance. These findings suggest that investors do not evaluate mutual funds independently, but rather that investors select a primary fund, likely based on beliefs about managerial ability, and then select funds which are relatively convenient to this primary fund. Highlights ► I find that investors pay a significant premium to invest in convenient mutual funds. ► I find that the flows to convenient funds are indifferent to fund performance. ► These results demonstrate the importance of convenience to mutual fund investors. ► They suggest that investors choose a primary fund and then funds that are convenient

A Review Of Australia's Compulsory Superannuation Scheme After A Decade

The Australian superannuation system places trustees in the key role of managing superannuation assets and we subject the role of trustee to close scrutiny while identifying the very substantial principal-and-agent problems that exist in the industry. We consider two policy issues: member choice of fund and portability of accumulated balances in the light of how they would improve the ability of individual members to maximise retirement benefits and the efficiency of the system. We argue that the award superannuation scheme which requires, by conditions in industrial awards, contributions of three per cent of wage or salary of an employee continues along side the SG scheme is due for review.
