How Informative Is Floating NAV When Securities Trade Infrequently?

We examine if a floating net asset value (NAV) increases the transparency of risk for investors. Using closed‐income fixed income funds we find little evidence that a floating NAV helps investors better understand the value and risk of a fund when a fund's assets trade infrequently. This potentially informs the debate regarding the adoption of a floating NAV in the money market industry. Our results suggest that it is unlikely that the benefits of floating NAV will outweigh the costs.     

开放式基金的净值增长能力与证券市场收益的互动关系检验

随着证券投资基金规模的不断增大,基金已经成为我国证券市场上的重要机构投资者,其对证券市场的影响也日益深入。考察股票型开放式基金的净值增长能力及其与证券市场指数收益的互动关系,得出如下结论:(1)我国开放式基金的净值增长率高于市场收益;(2)在一个较长时期内,市场收益的变动是开放式基金净值增长率变动的格兰杰原因,但反过来并不成立;(3)开放式基金的净值增长能力和市场收益之间存在着一种长期的协整关系。
