This book was released on 2015-06-19 with total page 26 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Research Paper (postgraduate) from the year 2015 in the subject Business economics - Investment and Finance, grade: 9.0/10, Maastricht University, language: English, abstract: Previous research has already proven that firms which get included in or excluded from the S&P 500 index experience stock price changes that ultimately result in market capitalization changes. The causes of these changes has extensively been examined, but a consensus on the true cause has not yet been reached. In this paper the market capitalization effect is examined by making a distinction between the reasons for inclusions and exclusions. It is argued that expected events, like bankruptcy and index-downgrading, have lower price effects than unexpected events, which include mergers and acquisitions. By usage of a regression analysis it is concluded that there is no difference in price effects between the individual reasons for inclusions and exclusions. However, when the reasons are grouped into unexpected and expected events there is a significant effect for the inclusions. Firms which expectedly enter the index experience lower market capitalizations changes than firms which unexpectedly entered the index. This effect could not be proved for exclusions.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We investigate the long-term effects of S&P 500 index additions and deletions on a sample of stocks from 1962 to 2003 and find a significant long-term price increase for both added and deleted stocks, with deleted stocks outperforming added stocks. The long-term price increase for added stocks can be attributed to increases in institutional ownership, liquidity, and analyst coverage, and a decrease in the shadow cost in the long-term. However, while deletion has no significant effect on analyst coverage and shadow cost, we find a rebound in the institutional ownership and liquidity of deleted stocks. The difference in the long-term price increase of added and deleted stocks can be explained by analyst coverage and operating performance.

This book was released on 2007 with total page 45 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper provides new findings concerning additions to the Samp;P 500 Index. We present the first evidence of industry effects that occur when stocks are added to the Samp;P 500 Index. With over a trillion dollars in index funds wealth tied to the Samp;P 500 Index, index additions exert price pressures on not only the firms that are added to the index and but the incumbent industry counterparts as well. We find that the share price of an added firm's industry counterparts increase in the announcement date and decrease on the effective date. We provide evidence that portfolio rebalancing helps explain the effective date abnormal returns documented for the incumbent industry counterparts. In addition, we show that the likelihood of a company being added to the Samp;P 500 Index is higher in industries with strong innovative activity, making revisions to the Index a vehicle for incorporating the value of such activity. Overall, our results suggest that Samp;P 500 Index composition changes are not information-free events.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We study the price effects of firms added to and deleted from the Samp;P 500 index and document an asymmetric price response: there is a permanent increase in the price of added firms but no similar decline for deleted firms. These results are at odds with extant explanations of the effects of Samp;P 500 index changes which imply a symmetric price response to additions and deletions. A possible explanation for asymmetric price effects arises from changes in investor awareness. Results from our empirical tests support the thesis that changes in investor awareness contribute to the asymmetric price effects of Samp;P 500 index additions and deletions.

Download or read book Is There an S P 500 Index Effect written by Maria Kasch and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 56 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper finds that the permanent changes in market value and return comovement, previously attributed to S&P 500 index additions, reflect well-established regularities in asset returns independent of index membership. Specifically, we document that index additions are preceded by extraordinary market and earnings performance of the event firms and that - after accounting for this performance - the additions have no permanent effect on the firms' market value and standard measures of systematic risk. The permanent value effect which has been attributed to index membership is a manifestation of the momentum in returns (Jegadeesh and Titman (1993)), while the change in comovement reflects declines in the loadings on size and value factors (Fama and French (1993)). Our results show the importance of addressing endogeneity for causal inference in event studies.

Download or read book The Liquidity Effects of S P 500 Additions written by John B. McDermott and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page 54 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We argue that the addition of a stock to the Samp;P 500 index leads to an increase in the volume of liquidity-motivated trading in the stock by index investors. This, in turn, lowers the cost of supplying liquidity and generates abnormal returns. Consistent with this argument, we document a permanent increase in the liquidity of stocks added to the Samp;P 500 index. Specifically, the median quoted and effective spreads decrease and the median quoted depth, trading volume and trade frequencies increase over three months following listing. The improvement in liquidity is due primarily to a decrease in the median direct cost of transacting and a smaller decline in the median asymmetric information cost of transacting. Further, we find that the event period cumulative abnormal returns are strongly associated with the decrease in the direct cost of transacting. These findings provide strong support for a liquidity-based explanation for the observed wealth effect due to Samp;P 500 listing.

This book was released on 2008 with total page 46 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since October 1989, Standard and Poor s has (when possible) announced changes in the composition of the Samp;P 500 index one week in advance. Because index funds hold Samp;P 500 stocks to minimize tracking error, index composition changes since this date provide an opportunity to examine the market reaction to an anticipated change in the demand for a stock. Using post-October-1989 data, we document significantly positive (negative) post-announcement abnormal returns that are only partially reversed following additions (deletions). These results indicate the existence of temporary price pressure and downward-sloping log-run demand curves for stocks and represent a violation of market efficiency.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this study we attempt to answer the question - does the start of pre-announcing of S&P 500 index changes in October 1989 have an effect on the trading pattern of added or deleted firms? We document that prior to October 1989 the excess returns of added or deleted firms follow a white noise process around the event, whereas after the start of pre-announcing the excess returns can be described as nonstationary. This indicates significant excess profits to be captured around the addition or deletion event after S&P started pre-announcing changes in October 1989 but not prior to that date.

Book excerpt: Several studies have found that stock price changes resulting from firms added to the Samp;P 500 index can be best exp lained by a downward sloping demand curve. In this paper, we study price effects around both additions and deletions and find that the price effect of index changes is consistent with Merton's (1987) investor-awareness and market segmentation hypothesis. We find that the reduction in shadow cost of incomplete diversification that follows additions is correlated with abnormal returns accruing to the added stocks. We also find that the asymmetric price effects of additions and deletions that have not been explained by empirical studies thus far are consistent with market segmentation.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Changes to the S&P 500 Index have been found to provide a wealth effect to the firms included or removed from the Index. On November 10, 2014 the S&P Dow Indices announced the addition of the first new GICS sector in the S&P 500 since technology stocks became a separate sector in 1999. Equity Real Estate Investment Trusts (eREITs) would be separated from the Finance Sector creating an 11th sector. We examine the return and risk effect of the creation of the new sector. We find a divergence in the risk of firms in the new sector and the non-S&P eREITs relative to the market. The eREITs in the S&P 500 Index maintained a lower risk, while the eREITs not in the Index increased in risk.

Download or read book Regression Discontinuity and the Price Effects of Stock Market Indexing written by Yen-cheng Chang and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Studies find price increases for additions to the S&P 500 index but no decreases for deletions. Additions come with good earnings news, suggesting these studies are not just measuring an indexing effect. We develop a regression discontinuity design using Russell Indices for cleaner identification. Stocks are assigned to indices based on their end-of-May market capitalizations. Stocks ranked just below 1000 are in the Russell 2000. The indices are value-weighted so these stocks receive index buying whereas those just above 1000 have close to none. Using this random assignment, we find price effects for both additions and deletions.
