Abstract: | I use daily mutual fund returns to shed new light on the questionof whether or not mutual fund managers are successful markettimers. Previous studies find that funds are unable to timethe market return. I study the funds' ability to time marketvolatility. I show that volatility timing is an important factorin the returns of mutual funds and has led to higher risk-adjustedreturns. The returns of surviving funds are especially sensitiveto market volatility; those of nonsurvivors are not. |
