Abstract
ABSTRACT In this paper, we investigate the information sharing within an organisation and its consequences on mutual fund performance. Using a sample from the US open-end mutual fund industry, information sharing inside an organisation is quantified via the dependence of individual funds from the fund family joint information set. The findings indicate a positive relationship between the degree of information sharing and the resulting fund performance. This remains robust across different performance evaluation metrics and various model specifications. Such superior performance can be attributed to the quality of information shared across affiliated fund members and timely information diffusion within the fund family.
