国际期货市场机构投资者的发展及借鉴

期货市场上的机构投资者主要有期货投资基金和对冲基金，证券公司或投资银行、养老基金、共同基金以及商业银行等机构也是重要参与者。本文介绍了参与国际期货市场的机构投资者的投资特点、在不同市场投资所占的比重和发挥的作用，分析了期货市场机构投资者的类型、发展及与现货市场机构投资者及期货公司之间的关系，并为中国期货市场机构投资者的发展提出了相关建议。     

The Benefit of Excluding Institutional Investors from Fixed-Price IPOs: Evidence from Taiwan

A simple way to mitigate the winner's curse in initial public offerings (IPOs) is to reduce the number of informed investors in IPO markets. In Taiwan, institutional investors are not permitted to subscribe to fixed-price IPOs. Excluding institutional investors raises uninformed investors' allocation rates. We show that the winner's curse is still present in Taiwan's fixed-price IPO markets even without the participation of institutional investors, but that IPO underpricing is reduced by at least 4 percent due to alleviating the winner's curse, as institutional investors are excluded from the fixed-price offerings.     

机构投资者与上市公司会计信息相关性分析

本文从机构投资者与会计信息相关性之间的联系来说明机构持股在公司治理中的作用。本研究以1999～2002年深市A股为样本，研究发现，在样本时间区闸内会计信息相关性与机构持股比例相关性不明显；从年度样本研究发现，随着机构持股比例增加，会计信息相关性增强，说明近年求机构投资者已参与公司治理，并发挥一定怍用。     

机构投资者独立性对代理成本的影响

本文以2006~2009年沪深两市A股上市公司为样本,在根据投资目标对机构投资者进行类型划分的基础上,探讨了机构投资者独立性对代理成本的影响。研究发现,独立机构持股比例越高,公司管理层代理成本和控股股东代理成本越低,而非独立机构持股对两类代理成本影响有限。在进一步考虑了控股股东持股比例的影响后,发现独立机构持股在控股股东偏好控制权私有收益的情况下更能降低管理层代理成本,表明在此情况下,独立机构对管理层自利行为有更大的监督作用。     

金融体系变革与机构投资者发展研究

有效的金融体系是经济持续增长的重要基础。目前存在两类典型的金融体系：银行主导和市场主导金融体系。金融体系“市场化”是20世纪后期全球金融体系变革的重要趋势之一，而以养老基金为代表的机构投资者是全球金融体系市场化的重要推动力量。随着中国进入一个新的历史时期，传统银行主导金融体系与社会经济变革存在明显不适应，因此，进一步壮大机构投资者规模，加快金融体系市场化进程，建立以机构投资者为基础的市场主导型金融体系，是中国经济可持续增长的重要战略选择。     

机构投资者的治理角色——过度投资视角

本文以2007~2009年我国上市公司的过度投资行为为背景,考察机构投资者持股对过度投资的治理角色。研究结果表明,机构的期末持股比例、长线型机构投资者尤其是长线型基金与过度投资显著负相关,表现为有效监督者的角色;短线型机构投资者则缺乏公司治理的意愿和动机,表现为利益攫取者的角色。研究结果意味着,我国的机构投资者同时具备有效监督者和利益攫取者的角色,何时表现出何种角色取决于持股比例以及持股时间。     

Assessing Credit Rating Agencies by Bond Issuers and Institutional Investors

We examine how a sample of publicly traded corporate bond issuers and institutional investors assess the four major nationally recognized rating agencies and their role in capital markets. The results show that issuers and investors differ dramatically in their assessments about rating agencies. Specifically, the majority of institutional investors require only one rating when they buy rated corporate bonds, but most issuers obtain two or more ratings. Issuers and investors also differ in their assessments about whether ratings accurately reflect creditworthiness and timeliness. The results suggest that differences reflect the different roles that rating agencies provide in the market place.     

Innovations in financing: The impact of anchor investors in Indian IPOs

In 2009, the Securities Exchange Board of India allowed qualified institutional investors to anchor initial public offerings (IPOs) by participating in the issue at a price and allocation publicly disclosed preceding the issue. We study anchor investors (AIs) in Indian IPOs during 2009–2017. We find the share allotment and the number of AIs separately have significant impacts on valuation and underpricing; however, the net effect is nonsignificant. Further, AIs significantly influence other institutional investors' participation in the IPO and induce lower aftermarket volatility. Overall, our evidence suggests that AIs boost demand for and mitigate ex ante information uncertainty of IPOs.     

机构投资者对IPO定价效率的影响分析

本文通过对沪深两地1996～2006年A股市场IPO样本的研究发现：IPO抑价率与IPO政策变量及机构投资者参与程度显著负相关。机构投资者参与询价和发行配售，对IPO抑价率的降低起到了显著作用，有利于提高市场发行定价效率。总体上看，现阶段中国A股发行市场定价效率仍然偏低。高抑价率的主要原因在于行政管制使股票发行人和承销商的议价能力发挥不足，根本原因还在于发行制度市场化程度不高。     

机构投资者参与公司治理行为指引制度研究

机构投资者参与公司治理是发挥中长期资金“压舱石”作用的重要途径,对于提升上市公司质量具有积极意义。研究发现,当前我国机构投资者在参与公司治理方面已取得一定实效,但仍存在总体积极性不高、制度不规范、披露不充分、手段有限、质量较低等问题,激励及引导规则的不足是导致实践困境的重要原因之一。有必要参考境外做法,引进具有软法性质的行为指引制度,构建具有约束力的促进型法制。相应规则的设计应以促进机构投资者有效行使股东权利为核心,着重加强对机构投资者的激励与引导,培育机构投资者自愿、自主和自觉参与公司治理的能力,推动机构投资者积极参与公司治理。     

Market Behavior of Institutional Investors around Bankruptcy Announcements

This paper examines, using proprietary ASX data containing institutional holdings, if institutional investors exit en mass prior to announcements of financial distress. Evidence indicates that while some institutional investors exit the stock, the withdrawal is gradual, commencing approximately 115 days prior to event. This is driven by active institutional investors reacting to the release of the financially distressed companies’ last publicly released financial reports. There is no significant decline in institutional holdings before announcements; most institutional investors hold financially distressed shares through to failure. There is evidence that the lack of disclosure drives the increase in information asymmetry prior to company failure.     

Institutional Investors, Analyst Following, and the January Anomaly

Average stock returns for small, low stock price firms are higher in January than for the rest of the year. Two explanations have received a great deal of attention: tax-loss selling and gamesmanship. This paper documents that seasonality in returns is not a phenomenon observed only for small firms' stock or those with low prices. Strong seasonality in excess returns is reported for a sample of widely followed firms. Sample firms have unusually low excess returns in January and returns adjust upward over the year. These results are consistent with the gamesmanship hypothesis, but not the tax-loss-selling hypothesis.

机构投资者持股与股价同步性分析

本文利用中国证券市场所有A股上市公司2005～2007年的面板数据,对股价同步性和代表机构投资者持股的三个变量——机构投资者持股比例、机构投资者持股变化和持股机构投资者数量进行回归统计,检验了机构投资者持股对股价同步性的影响。研究表明,代表机构投资者持股的三个变量都与股票股价同步性显著负相关,其中机构投资者持股变化是影响股价同步性的决定性因素,其他两个变量都是通过该变量发生作用的。这一结果说明机构投资者利用公司特质信息进行的基于信息的交易提高了股价中的信息含量,降低了股价同步性。     

机构投资者担心企业应用衍生品进行投机吗-来自中国上市公司的证据

以2007-2011年应用过衍生品的中国上市公司为样本,检验机构投资者持股与企业应用衍生品及其投机行为的关系,研究发现:机构投资者担心企业应用衍生品尤其是应用衍生品的投机行为会损害其自身的利益,并且这种担心超出了机构投资者通过积极的监督来保障自身利益的意愿,因此,机构投资者倾向于减少对那些应用衍生品公司的投资,大多维持在一个较低的水平.此外,证据还表明:在我国上市公司中,机构投资者的投资并不普遍,份量也较轻;衍生品在我国上市公司中的应用亦不普遍并且应用的程度很低,大多数应用衍生品的公司是为了套保,但一旦投机则非常严重;机构投资者较为看重应用衍生品公司的成长性,而反感其业绩与盈余管理行为.     

机构投资者在上市公司治理结构中的角色分析--基于盈余稳健性的视角

本文选取我国沪深两市A股上市公司2009-2013年之间的非金融类上市公司作为研究样本,通过非平衡面板数据和固定效应回归模型进行实证分析。研究发现,机构投资者持股比例对公司盈余稳健性呈负相关关系,即机构投资者对上市公司并没有发挥监督治理效应。     

Institutional investor sentiment and aggregate stock returns

This paper examines the equity market return predictability of institutional investor sentiment, in comparison to individual investor sentiment. Our findings suggest that institutional traders are informed and that their sentiment helps to tilt stock prices towards the intrinsic value. This is because the sentiment of institutions encompasses news regarding expectations on future cash flows of underlying firms that impounds itself into future price expectations. In this study, we add to the large number of studies that investigate the role and implications of investor sentiment, which has long been viewed as a pure behavioural phenomenon, on market efficiency and price discovery.     

Institutional investors and corporate environmental costs: The roles of investment horizon and investor origin

Using an international data set that quantifies corporate environmental costs, we analyze the influence of institutional investor ownership, particularly investment horizon and investor origin, on the monetized environmental impact generated by their investee firms. Institutional investor ownership is negatively related to corporate environmental costs. This effect is driven by long-term foreign institutional investors, especially investors from advanced economies. Corporate environmental costs are negatively correlated with firm valuation and positively correlated with the cost of equity. Since corporate environmental costs are not reflected in environmental, social and governance ratings, our results shed new light on the role of institutional investors in shaping corporate environmental impact.     

机构投资者与个人投资者过度自信行为比较研究

本文首先基于我国A股市场机构股票持有数据,构建了不同的投资组合来区分机构投资者与个人投资者的投资行为。然后运用Granger因果检验与SUR估计,探讨了我国证券市场机构投资者与个人投资者是否具有过度自信行为,结果表明无论是机构投资者还是个人投资者在不同市场状态下都存在交易过多的过度自信认知偏差。并且我国证券市场上个人投资者与机构投资者的过度自信程度在不同的市场状态下并无明显差异。最后提出了相关政策建议。
