证券投资者保护基金立法模式的国际比较及借鉴

在世界爆发金融危机的新形势下,我国急需加强证券投资者保护工作.本文从证券投资者保护基金立法模式的角度,比较了10多个代表性的国家和地区证券投资者保护基金的立法情况,总结出国际上证券投资者保护基金的四大立法模式及其立法原理和立法发展趋势,提出了完善我国证券投资者保护基金立法的建议.     

加快我国证券无纸化立法

1991年沪深证券交易所成立后不久,证券交易所市场基本实现了证券无纸化发行、登记、托管和结算。截至目前,无纸化证券在我国已经发展了十余年,然而无纸化证券有别于传统有价证券的特点没有引起充分重视,基于无纸化的证券持有、交易、抵押活动产生的法律关系,始终处于无法可依、有法     

与时俱进 完善我国证券立法

《证券法》有力地促进了证券市场的快速健康发展我国证券市场在邓小平理论的指引下,在党中央、国务院的正确领导下,短短十余年的时间实现了从无到有、从小到大、从分散到集中、从地区性市场到全国性市场的巨大转变,作为一个新兴市场,我们已经取得了举世瞩目的成就。十余年来,我     

从国际经和证券基金发展看期货基金

按不同分类标准,投资基金表现为不同形式。按投资对象分四类：实业投资基金（实业、创投）、证券市场投资基金（股票和债券）、货币市场基金（货币市场工具）、衍生品基金（期货、期权、掉期、可转换债券等）。期货基金属于衍生品基金一种。     

证券投资者保护基金的发展

股市危机特别是证券公司倒闭破产风潮催生了我国证券投资者保护基金制度。经过近十年的发展,基金制度相关办法已经不能适应资本市场投资者保护的现实需要证券投资者保护基金制度,是我国金融投资者保护制度的基本组成部分,其基本功能是补偿投资者因证券公司破产而导致的财产损失,从而维护投资者信心和稳定证券市场。与境外很多国家和地区的证券投资者保护基金制度设     

证券立法以保护投资者权益为立法前提

4月24日至4月27日,历经近两年起草的《证券法(修订草案)》,首次提请十届全国人大常委会第十五次会议审议。应该说,此次《证券法(修订草案)》修改的条款非常全面,在投资者保护、强化信息披露、推进市场化进程、赋予交易所契约权利等方面的修改上都有新的内容,吸引了各界人士的关注目光。     

论证券立法的域外效力

通说认为一国之公法仅具有域内效力,私法可以有域外效力。证券法不但有调整证券交易、证券服务关系的私法规范,也有调整证券监管关系的公法规范。笔者主张证券法应保护投资者利益和维护本国证券市场秩序,还应顾及他国的属地管辖优先权,以促进国际资本市场的发展繁荣。     

欧盟的证券投资基金立法探究

为保护投资利益，欧盟“投资基金指令”一直将风险分散作为核心内容加以规定。通过创新，修改后的“新指令”在扩大了投资范围的同时，亦同等地加强了对投资的保护。     

美国证券机遇基金完成7.53亿美元基金募集

美国证券机遇基金是美国证券有限责任公司的隶属机构,该基金今天宣布其第二支基金得到超过7.53亿美元的承诺投资。美国证券机遇基金的第一支基金诞生于2006年,承诺资金超过3亿美元。该基金主要致力于投资处于困境中、由于业绩恶化或存在预期资金问题而面临贸易困难的公共或私营企业。美国证券机遇基金的团队主要包     

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。     

Mutual Fund Survivorship

This article provides a comprehensive study of survivorshipissues using the mutual fund data of Carhart (1997). We demonstratetheoretically that when survival depends on multiperiod performance,the survivorship bias in average performance typically increaseswith the sample length. This is empirically relevant becauseevidence suggests a multiyear survival rule for U.S. mutualfunds. In the data we find the annual bias increases from 0.07%for 1-year samples to 1% for samples longer than 15 years. Wefind that survivor conditioning weakens evidence of performancepersistence. Finally, we explain how survivor conditioning affectsthe relation between performance and fund characteristics.     

Mutual Fund Incubation

Incubation is a strategy for initiating new funds, where multiple funds are started privately, and, at the end of an evaluation period, some are opened to the public. Consistent with incubation being used by fund families to increase performance and attract flows, funds in incubation outperform nonincubated funds by 3.5% risk‐adjusted, and when they are opened to the public they attract higher flows. Postincubation, however, this outperformance disappears. This performance reversal imparts an upward bias to returns that is not removed by a fund size filter. Fund age and ticker creation date filters, however, eliminate the bias.     

Mutual Fund Liquidity Costs

One dollar in purchases or redemptions generates an average cost of $0.006 for US equity mutual funds during the period 1997‐2009, approximately 70% lower than prior estimates derived from older data. However, large cross‐sectional differences exist between funds. Many funds have costs near zero, but funds that hold relatively illiquid equities, have relatively concentrated portfolios, and manage relatively large amounts of assets have average liquidity costs significantly greater than the full sample average. Furthermore, despite a large difference in underlying asset liquidity, US bond funds and US equity funds have similar average liquidity costs.     

European Mutual Fund Performance

This paper presents an overview of the European mutual fund industry and investigates mutual fund performance using a survivorship bias controlled sample of 506 funds from the five most important mutual fund countries. The latter is done using the Carhart (1997) 4-factor asset-pricing model. In addition we investigate whether European fund managers exhibit 'hot hands', persistence in performance. Finally the influence of fund characteristics on risk-adjusted performance is considered. Our overall results suggest that European mutual funds, and especially small cap funds are able to add value, as indicated by their positive after cost alphas. If we add back management fees, four out of five countries exhibit significant out-performance at an aggregate level. Finally, we detect strong persistence in mean returns for funds investing in the UK. Our results deviate from most US studies that argue mutual funds under-perform the market by the amount of expenses they charge.     

Evaluating Mutual Fund Performance

We study standard mutual fund performance measures, using simulated funds whose characteristics mimic actual funds. We find that performance measures used in previous mutual fund research have little ability to detect economically large magnitudes (e.g., three percent per year) of abnormal fund performance, particularly if a fund's style characteristics differ from those of the value-weighted market portfolio. Power can be substantially improved, however, using event-study procedures that analyze a fund's stock trades. These procedures are feasible using time-series data sets on mutual fund portfolio holdings.     

Mutual Fund Tax Clienteles

Mutual funds are held by investors in taxable and tax‐qualified retirement accounts. We investigate whether the characteristics, investment strategies, and performance of mutual funds held by these diverse tax clienteles differ. Examining both mutual fund distributions and mutual fund holdings, we find that funds held primarily by taxable investors choose investment strategies that result in lower tax burdens than funds held primarily in tax‐qualified accounts. Despite these differences, we find no evidence that any investment constraints that may arise from these tax‐efficient investment strategies result in performance differences between funds held by different tax clienteles.

Mutual Fund Manager Forecasting Behavior

I examine publicly released annual earnings forecasts issued in conjunction with stock recommendations by mutual fund managers of actively managed open-end mutual funds. I find that mutual fund manager annual earnings forecasts systematically overestimate the earnings number later disclosed at the annual earnings announcement. In further analyses, I attempt to distinguish between two explanations for this forecast bias: an untruthful reporting bias (market manipulation) and a truthful cognitive bias (optimism). These explanations generate different predictions about the timing of changes in fundholdings of forecasted securities between the forecast release and annual earnings announcement dates. I interpret my findings as more consistent with an optimism explanation for mutual fund manager annual forecast bias and less consistent with a market manipulation explanation for this bias. I am, however, unable to eliminate an unobservable selection bias either in the decision of the mutual fund manager to report a forecast publicly or in the media's decision to publish that forecast as an explanation for my finding that mutual fund manager forecasts are biased.
