Outline of Final Research Achievements

This research project, using holdings data recently made available, investigate the asset allocation and performance characteristics of global equity mutual funds formed in the three developed countries (Japan, the U.S., and E.U.) based on the economic hypotheses. The main results include: i) the better performance of industry-concentrated funds than the country-concentration funds is related to the global industry private information; ii) Manager teams with foreign education backgrounds, younger fund managers, MBA degrees tend to invest more in the international market, i.e., less home bias, and these attributes available for large funds bring better performance, and finally iii) global funds from the U.S. and E.U. in Japan are more preferentially allocated IPO shares for their fast performance improvement than the Japanese domestic counterparts. These results are largely consistent with the private information hypotheses proposed in this study.
