基金持有人大会法律制度研究

由于各国投资基金所采取的治理结构不尽相同，其在基金持有人大会的职权配置上存在一些差异，但有一点是相同的，即各国均通过立法限制持有人大会的权限，通常将其限制在对与基金运作及与基金持有人的利益有密切关系的一些重大事项的决定，而不涉及基金具体的运作。

证券投资基金的利益冲突问题及其法律防范

根据产生的法律基础不同,证券投资基金可以分为公司型和契约型两类.而新出台的<证券投资基金法>则从法律上明确了我国的证券投资基金类型--契约型投资基金,其法律构架主要是建立在信托法律制度上的.     

浅谈我国证券投资基金管理人的义务

同日本、韩国一样，我国《证券投资基金管理办法》(以下简称《办法》)将我国投资基金规范为契约型，即采用信托方式来设置当事人之间的法律关系。在证券投资信托法律关系构造中，存在三方主体，即委托人(基金管理人)、受托人(基金托管人)与受益人(基金持有人)，规     

制度建设与我国证券投资基金的规范发展

虽然证券投资基金在我国兴起和发展的时间不长,但发展的速度和规模却非常迅速.截止2001年底,我国已有证券投资基金51只,其中封闭式48只,开放式3只,基金市场发行规模约800亿元.由于证券投资基金建立的时间比较仓促,在随后的发展中出现了一系列问题.本文将围绕完善制度与降低交易费用的关系进行分析,从制度层面来研究规范我国证券投资基金的途径.     

鼓励基金业均衡发展 及时修订《证券投资基金法》

2004年6月1日颁布实施的《证券投资基金法》第五十九条第五项规定:基金财产不得向其基金管理人、基金托管人出资或者买卖其基金管理人、基金托管人发行的股票或者债券;第六项规定:基金不得买卖与其基金管理人、基金托管人有控股关系的股东或者与其基金管理人、基金托管人有其他重大利害关系的公司发行的证券或者承销期内承     

英国金融监管制度的变迁对中国的启示

2000年6月14日,英国<2000年金融服务和市场法>获下议院通过.该法确认金融服务监管局(FSA)为英国唯一的金融监管机构,赋予其监管金融机构和金融市场所需的全部法律权限.2001年12月1日,金管局正式行使其职能.至此,英国金融监管制度完成了从传统自律型的分业监管制度向现代法制型的统一监管制度变迁.可以预见的是,新的监管制度际载誉英国金融史,对英国、欧盟、乃至世界金融业的稳定产生积极影响.本文拟运用制度变迁理论分析英国监管制度变迁及其产生的缘由,并在此基础上得出对中国的启示.     

基金持有人代表诉讼制度研究

根据《投资基金法草案》第26条规定，基金所有涉诉活动都是由基金管理人来代理，那么在基金管理人自己违反信托责任时，又由谁来代表基金追究基金管理人的法律责任?这显然是立法上的一大漏洞。     

借鉴英国道路交通法，完善我国机动车辆强制保险制度

2003年10月28日,《道路交通法》在全国人大常委会第五次会议上获得通过。该法第17条规定:国家实行机动车第三者责任强制保险制度,设立道路交通事故社会救助基金。这是在我国第一次以立法形式     

False Discoveries in UK Mutual Fund Performance

We use a multiple hypothesis testing framework to estimate the false discovery rate (FDR) amongst UK equity mutual funds. Using all funds, we find a relatively high FDR for the best funds of 32.8% (at a 5% significance level), which implies that only around 3.7% of all funds truly outperform their benchmarks. For the worst funds the FDR is relatively small at 7.6% which results in 22% of funds which truly underperform their benchmarks. For different investment styles, this pattern of very few genuine winner funds is repeated for all companies, small companies and equity income funds. Forming portfolios of funds recursively for which the FDR is controlled at a ‘acceptable’ value, produces no performance persistence for positive alpha funds and weak evidence of persistence for negative alpha funds.     

Mutual Fund Performance: Evidence from the UK

This paper uses a large sample containing the complete return histories of 2300 UK open-ended mutual funds over a 23-year period to measure fund performance. We find some evidence of underperformance on a risk-adjusted basis by the average fund manager, persistence of performance and the existence of a substantial survivor bias. Similar findings have been reported for US equity mutual funds. New findings not previously documented for other markets include evidence that mutual fund performance varies substantially across different asset categories, especially foreign asset categories. We also identify some new patterns in performance related to the funds' distance from their inception and termination dates: underperformance intensifies as the fund termination date approaches, while, in contrast, there is some evidence that funds (weakly) outperform during their first year of existence.

On Persistence in Mutual Fund Performance

Using a sample free of survivor bias, I demonstrate that common factors in stock returns and investment expenses almost completely explain persistence in equity mutual funds' mean and risk-adjusted returns. Hendricks, Patel and Zeckhauser's (1993) “hot hands” result is mostly driven by the one-year momentum effect of Jegadeesh and Titman (1993) , but individual funds do not earn higher returns from following the momentum strategy in stocks. The only significant persistence not explained is concentrated in strong underperformance by the worst-return mutual funds. The results do not support the existence of skilled or informed mutual fund portfolio managers.     

On Mutual Fund Investment Styles

Most mutual funds adopt investment styles that cluster arounda broad market benchmark. Few funds take extreme positions awayfrom the index, but those who do are more likely to favor growthstocks and past winners. The bias toward glamour and the tendencyof poorly performing value funds to shift styles may reflectagency and behavioral considerations. After adjusting for style,there is evidence that growth managers on average outperformvalue managers. Though a fund's factor loadings and its portfoliocharacteristics generally yield similar conclusions about itsstyle, an approach using portfolio characteristics predictsfund returns better.

On the Timing Ability of Mutual Fund Managers

Existing studies of mutual fund market timing analyze monthly returns and find little evidence of timing ability. We show that daily tests are more powerful and that mutual funds exhibit significant timing ability more often in daily tests than in monthly tests. We construct a set of synthetic fund returns in order to control for spurious results. The daily timing coefficients of the majority of funds are significantly different from their synthetic counterparts. These results suggest that mutual funds may possess more timing ability than previously documented.
