Past Returns and Investment Trust Discounts

Abstract:   The relationship between past net asset value returns and the current discount on investment trusts is investigated. The relationship is weaker for the component that is common to all trusts in the same sector, and is significantly stronger for more liquid trusts. The time lag before returns have their full impact on discounts is consistent with the requirements of distinguishing 'skill' from noise. Although discounts vary widely even within the same sector, the range of variation appears to be consistent with an arbitrage equilibrium, in which the profits of exploiting apparent pricing anomalies are just insufficient to invite arbitrage trades.     

Government Deficit, Public Investment, and Public Capital in the Transition to an Aging Japan

This paper examines the effects of government deficits, public investment, and public capital on welfare in the transition to an aging Japan by applying a simulated general equilibrium growth model. One of the main results of this paper is that targeting only high economic growth would mislead us as to economic policies, and that a policy to reduce future government deficits is most preferable for almost all generations, even though a cut in future deficits must be followed by a decrease in public investment, thus a decrease in public capital in the future.

Consistency of UK Pension Fund Investment Performance

Transition matrix techniques are used to relate the past and present performance of pension fund portfolios. In particular, funds are ranked to study the tendency of portfolios to remain in the same quartile of the ranking as they were in the previous period. For raw returns, funds in both of the top quartiles are found to be more likely to remain in the same quartile than would be expected by chance. This result can be taken as limited evidence for the consistency of performance. Similar systemic effects are observed on a risk-adjusted basis. There appears to be clear evidence that some fund managers can offer a degree of consistent good performance.     

析证券投资基金的治理结构

投资基金有两种类型:契约型与公司型。两种投资基金的治理结构所依据的法理并不同,契约型基金是依据信托而为构造,公司型基金当然是依据公司法而为构造。但两种基金的治理结构仍有相似之处,一般的基金治理结构都包含基金投资人、基金管理人、基金托管人,究其实,公司型基金是基金主体化的类型。我国在大力发展基金业中出现了各种观点,结合《证券投资基金法》,从法学的角度澄清概念间、主体间的关系。

房地产融资渠道分析

由于国家银根收缩，房地产融资难度增大，加上中国房地产金融体系尚未完善，融资渠道狭窄，在一定程度上限制了我国房地产业的发展。房地产业需要新的融资渠道，如信托、基金、债券等取代传统的银行贷款融资模式。针对新的市场现状，各房地产企业必须加强资本运作能力，扩大融资渠道，创新金融产品。     

企业创新链与资金链生态融合及水平测度研究——以生物医药企业为例

为促进创新链与资金链形成生态循环,推动企业高质量发展,从生态视角出发,运用系统分析方法,对企业创新链与资金链生态融合内涵进行界定,并分析其生态融合特征,构建两链生态融合系统模型,设计两链生态融合水平测度指标体系。基于规则的方法、熵权和物元可拓方法,设计指标数据评分规则与标准,构建两链生态融合水平测度模型,选47 家A 股上市生物制品企业为样本,测度两链生态融合水平。结果表明：生物医药企业创新链与资金链生态融合水平差异较大,存在薄弱环节,从两链融合系统环境、评价机制和平台建设提出建议,为反映两链生态融合程度和进行动态调整,以缓解企业创新融资约束和提高创新链资金配置效率提供理论方法和实际借鉴。     

我国城镇建设有关土地制度创新研究

目前我国土地管理中存在着土地市场不完善．国土基金管理不到位等问题。应完善我国土地市场和加强国土基金使用管理。应加快土地资源的市场配置．完善国有土地有偿使用制度．推进国有土地使用权的招标、拍卖和挂牌出让。建立土地收购储备制度．以促进土地的可持续利用。完善城镇土地的出租制．采取长租、短租或临时出租等方式，以保证土地的长期收益。建立集体土地流转制度。成立国土基金专户．国土基金专款专用．收支两条线．实行国土基金的计划管理制度和监管制度。     

养老保险媒体宣传的差异及助推效应分析

借助文本分析技术,基于国家级与省级官方媒体大数据,构建了媒体宣传指数,并分析其对养老保险的助推效应。研究发现,媒体对不同支柱养老保险的宣传重视差异较大,对第二和第三支柱关注较少,且在中西部地区尤为突出;媒体宣传对养老保险发展有明显的助推效应,能扩大参保广度,但对参保深度的提升有限。据此,政府应加大第二和第三支柱的媒体宣传力度,促进养老保险三支柱的平衡发展,筑牢全民养老保障基础。     

中国股票型基金业绩持续性实证研究

本文采用动量检验法和回归系数法,检验了存续时间超过24个月的中国股票型基金业绩是否存在持续性.结果发现,101只样本基金的业绩在6个月存在显著的持续性.在此基础上,本文从风险收益和基金管理人能力两个角度检验了基金业绩持续性的来源,结果发现,CAPM和“三因素模型”,以及考虑了基金投资风格的管理人选股能力、择时能力及投资风格持续收益,均不能解释中国股票型基金的业绩持续性.
