Mutual fund portfolio turnover ratios (PTR) are at the center of the short-termism debate, which criticizes corporate maneuvers taken to prop up near-term earnings at the expense of long-term, value focused investments and policies. Scholars and policymakers often rely on portfolio turnover...

This paper aims to contribute to the existing literature in portfolio management and strategy by investigating the performance, diversification, and hedging benefits arising from integrating Sharia-compliant stocks into a conventional portfolio. Thus, this paper tests the performance of a...

Capital mobility may equalize investment opportunities across industries, and further, may cause the return-risk trade-offs of industry portfolios to converge. We show that over an extended period from 1926 to 2014, value-weighted industry portfolios based on Fama-French 5, 10, 12, 17, 30, and...

I empirically investigate some of the key features of cryptocurrency returns and volatilities such as their relationship with traditional asset classes, as well as the main driving factors behind market activity. The main empirical results suggest that while there is a mild relationship between...

This paper presents a new method for improving the performance of trend-following trading strategies. This new approach improves the inherent problem of trend-following strategies, which is their lagging signals. We simulate alternative price paths of financial assets using a modification of a...

Recent research provides considerable evidence that correlations between assets change significantly over time and diversification benefits of correlations may vary substantially based on the time-varying measure of correlation used for different asset types. Our study evaluates and compares...

We collect compensation policy data from 60 Chinese mutual fund companies, which covers 88% of assets under management by all active stock and stock-oriented hybrid mutual funds in China. Using the collected data, we investigate the portfolio pumping from a performance-based perspective. We find...

This paper employs the ZCAPM asset pricing model of Liu, Kolari, and Huang (2018) to show that momentum returns are highly related to market risk arising from return dispersion (RD). Cross-sectional tests show that momentum risk loadings and RD risk loadings are similarly priced in momentum...

We find that when measured in terms of dollar-turnover, and once beta-neutralised and Low-Vol neutralised, the Size Effect is alive and well. With a long term t-stat of 5.1, the “Cold-Minus-Hot” (CMH) anomaly is certainly not less significant than other well-known factors such as Value or...

This is the online Appendix to "Multi-Asset Scenario Building for Trend-Following Trading Strategies."We provide additional empirical results to challenge our findings from the main paper. These tests include, among others: long-short trading environment, subsample testing, modified indicator...
