Abstract

ABSTRACT This paper examines the influence of foreign investors on the stock return volatility via the Shanghai- Hong Kong Stock Connect Program (SHSCP). By analysing portfolios’ characteristics and utilising the Fama-Macbeth regression, we find that investing in China’s mainland stock market via the SHSCP could tame the stock return volatility. The results remain significant after taking into account endogenous factors and performing several robustness tests. Our findings support the rationale for opening up China’s capital market.
