We study capital allocations to managers with two mutual funds, and show that investors learn about managers from their performance records. Flows into a fund are predicted by the manager's performance in his other fund, especially when he outperforms and when signals from the other fund are...

Adverse selection risk is reduced in the presence of more uninformed sales. I show in a model that market makers should post tighter bid-ask spreads and quote...
