Abstract: | Do local institutions, local individuals or foreigners perform better in a small emerging market? We seek answers to this question by examining the investment performance of each group of investors using two unique databases of Colombian stocks. Our analysis serves as an out-of-sample test of previous findings. We find that local institutions have better outcomes than foreigners and local individuals on all performance measures. Furthermore, local individuals perform better than foreigners on trading execution, while foreigners generate better long-term returns. Using a bid-ask spread decomposition, we provide additional evidence that the better performance of institutions is consistent with informational advantages. Our findings reconcile contradictory statements from previous studies. |
