Download or read book Swing Pricing and Fragility in Open end Mutual Funds written by Dunhong Jin and published by International Monetary Fund. This book was released on 2019-11-01 with total page 46 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How to prevent runs on open-end mutual funds? In recent years, markets have observed an innovation that changed the way open-end funds are priced. Alternative pricing rules (known as swing pricing) adjust funds’ net asset values to pass on funds’ trading costs to transacting shareholders. Using unique data on investor transactions in U.K. corporate bond funds, we show that swing pricing eliminates the first-mover advantage arising from the traditional pricing rule and significantly reduces redemptions during stress periods. The positive impact of alternative pricing rules on fund flows reverses in calm periods when costs associated with higher tracking error dominate the pricing effect.

Download or read book Measuring the True Cost of Active Management by Mutual Funds written by Ross M. Miller and published by . This book was released on 2005 with total page 24 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Recent years have seen a dramatic shift from mutual funds into hedge funds even though hedge funds charge management fees that have been decried as outrageous. While expectations of superior returns may be responsible for this shift, this article shows that mutual funds are more expensive than commonly believed. Mutual funds appear to provide investment services for relatively low fees because they bundle passive and active funds management together in a way that understates the true cost of active management. In particular, funds engaging in closet or shadow indexing charge their investors for active management while providing them with little more than an indexed investment. Even the average mutual fund, which ostensibly provides only active management, will have over 90% of the variance in its returns explained by its benchmark index. This article derives a method for allocating fund expenses between active and passive management and constructs a simple formula for finding the cost of active management. Computing this active expense ratio requires only a fund's published expense ratio, its R-squared relative to a benchmark index, and the expense ratio for a competitive fund that tracks that index. At the end of 2004, the mean active expense ratio for the large-cap equity mutual funds tracked by Morningstar was 7%, over six times their published expense ratio of 1.15%. More broadly, funds in the Morningstar universe had a mean active expense ratio of 5.2%, while the largest funds averaged a percent or two less.

Download or read book Management Fees of the Spanish Mutual Fund Industry written by Ana Carmen Díaz Mendoza and published by Ed. Universidad de Cantabria. This book was released on 2013-06 with total page 70 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Esta obra analiza las comisiones de gestión pagadas por los partícipes de la industria de fondos de inversión españoles. Dado que estas comisiones influyen directamente en la rentabilidad final obtenida por los partícipes y son, por otro lado, la principal fuente de ingresos de las Sociedades Gestoras de los fondos de inversión, su determinación adquiere una gran relevancia para los inversores, gestores y compañías gestoras y también para los reguladores de estos activos financieros. El libro está estructurado en tres capítulos que tienen un objetivo común: comparar el grupo de fondos de inversión que cobran comisiones de gestión total o parcialmente en función de los resultados obtenidos por el fondo (en este caso hablamos de la comisión de gestión sobre rendimiento) con los que establecen las comisiones de gestión exclusivamente en función del activo gestionado por el fondo (comisión de gestión sobre rendimiento). Los capítulos utilizan diferentes frecuecias de datos, muestras, modelos y metodologías de estimación.
