Did the Covid-19 Pandemic Trigger Herding Behavior?

This study aims to examine the influence of the COVID-19 pandemic on mutual fund herding in Indonesia. The research population comprises open-end mutual funds in Indonesia. By adopting the purposive sampling method, we selected the stock mutual funds registered from 2017 to 2022 as our research sample. We define the 2017-2019 period as before COVID-19 and 2020-2022 as during COVID-19. This study employs CSAD and CSSD as proxies for return dispersion by considering two types of indices as benchmarks, namely LQ45 and IDX Composite. Our study found that COVID-19 did trigger mutual fund herding. However, we failed to find herding behavior when there is a large market movement. Instead, we found reverse herding.

NORMA SUBYEKTIF DAN SELF-EFFICACY DALAM PENERIMAAN APLIKASI REKSA DANA DAN SAHAM

Mutual funds and shares are investment elements that are more volatile compared to gold, but in the long term they are quite profitable elements. This can be seen during the COVID-19 pandemic, the Russian-Ukrainian war crisis, and the bankruptcy of a large bank in America, this investment element still provides profits. The financial technology industry also provides various service applications on mobile phones or smartphones that make it easier for people to invest in mutual funds and shares. This research analyzes the determinants of Indonesian society's acceptance of stock mutual fund applications using the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) and adding two external variables, namely subjective norms and self-efficacy. This research uses Structural Equation Model-Partial Least Square (SEM-PLS) to test the hypothesis. The results show that all TAM variables and subjective norms have an influence, but self-efficacy does not influence interest in using mutual fund and stock applications. In order to increase public acceptance of mutual fund and stock investment applications, and then interest in using them, service providers should improve the ease of operation and usefulness of their applications. Efforts should also be made to encourage people to recommend each other to invest through this application.

Analysis Of The Effect Of Macroeconomic Variables On Returns Of Mutual Fund Shares Traded At State Owned Bank

The purpose of this study is to determine whether IHSG, inflation, exchange rates, and BI rates have a meaningful impact on stock mutual fund returns. Panel data is the secondary data used in this quantitative research design. The population under investigation consists of stock mutual funds that are published and registered with OJK. Purposive sampling was the method of sampling that was employed. Secondary data (found online) and library research were the methods of data collection used in this study. A panel data regression test is the research methodology employed in this study. The analysis that was conducted yielded the following conclusions, which can be drawn: The panel data regression test results indicate that returns on stock mutual funds are significantly impacted by the IHSG, inflation, exchange rate, and BI rate all at the same time. IHSG has a demonstrably positive impact on stock mutual fund returns, according to the findings of the partial panel data regression test. It has been established that returns on equity mutual funds are significantly impacted negatively by inflation. It has been demonstrated that returns on stock mutual funds are significantly positively impacted by exchange rates. It has been demonstrated that stock mutual fund returns are significantly impacted negatively by the BI rate.

The analysis of chasing returns strategy in equity funds

Most of the new investors, who are dominated by millennial investors, do not understand the basics of the capital market, so they have to suffer losses. Therefore, a strategy for investing in mutual funds is needed. This study aims to compare the performance of return-chasing investments with the buy-and-hold strategy in providing the best return to stock mutual fund investors. Beers (2020) states that “buy-and-hold” is a strategy in which investors buy stocks (or other types of securities, such as exchange-traded funds) and hold them for a long time regardless of market fluctuations. The data used is the net asset value of mutual funds which is then processed to obtain rank one based on annual returns. Simulations will be carried out to see the investment results of the two strategies and then the Wilcoxon signed-rank statistical test will be carried out on the profit/loss percentage to see the significance of the difference. The results of statistical tests show that there is no significant difference in investment returns between the chase return and buy and hold strategies. This result indicates the chasing return strategy provides much better investment returns than the buy-and-hold strategy for five periods on mutual fund instruments. The implication of this research for investors in using a chasing return strategy is that investors must use technical analysis, namely analyzing and finding out which mutual funds have the best prospects in that year.

Comparison Of The Performance Of Sharia Stock Mutual Funds With The Performance Of Conventional Stock Mutual Funds

The results of this study indicate that there is a significant difference between the performance of Islamic stock mutual funds and the performance of conventional stock mutual funds.

Persistent Performance of Alpha in Evaluating and Predicting the Returns of Chinese Stock Mutual Funds

Alpha has been examined to be a significant performance indicator for mutual funds. It was developed in 1968 by Jensen and was widely applied as a measure in the evaluation of mutual funds managers. It quantitatively show the gap between the model-based expected returns and the actual fund returns. In my research, I wonder whether the persistence of alpha for different portfolios exist. I apply three mutual fund performance evaluation models in this paper and calculate the alpha of mutual funds under each model. Then I rank the alpha of each fund and group them into four portfolios. I keep tracking the alpha and performance of each portfolio from January 2008 to July 2020, and find that the portfolio with the highest historical alpha keeps beating the other three portfolios while having the highest alpha. Although there are still some parts of the experiment that could be improved, the empirical results of my research show that the alpha seems to be a persistent indicator of the performance of Chinese mutual funds.

Pengaruh Indeks Saham Syariah Indonesia (ISSI), Indeks Harga Saham Gabungan (IHSG) dan Inflasi Terhadap Kinerja NAB Reksa Dana Saham Syariah Tahun 2018-2022

The fair market value of a mutual fund's securities and other assets less its liabilities (debt) is its net asset value, often referred to as net asset value (NAV). One of the benchmarks for assessing mutual fund performance is NAB. The aim of this research is to examine how ISSI, IHSG, and inflation will affect the Net Asset Value (NAB) of sharia stock mutual funds between 2018 and 2022. This research intends to show how ISSI, IHSG, and inflation affect Sharia Stock Mutual Funds. NAB performance on the Indonesian Stock Exchange. Explanatory research using quantitative methodology is this type of research. Multiple linear regression analysis, which has previously been evaluated using conventional assumptions, is the analysis technique used. The research results show that ISSI has a negative effect on the NAV Performance of Sharia Stock Mutual Funds, the Composite Stock Price Index has a positive effect, and Inflation has a positive effect on the NAV Performance of Sharia Stock Mutual Funds. The simultaneous influence of ISSI, IHSG, and inflation on the NAV performance of Sharia Equity Mutual Funds is quite large. To assume that all independent variables simultaneously or together have a significant influence on the Net Asset Value of Sharia Equity Mutual Funds at a confidence level of 95%, the F statistical value of 0.0000 is calculated which has a probability value of 5%.

The performance and market timing ability of Chinese mutual funds


 
 
 We examine the performance and market timing ability of actively managed Chinese stock mutual funds and investigate how fund characteristics and fund flows relate to performance and market timing ability. Based on daily return data and several four-factor models, only about 7.5% of these funds have statistically significant risk-adjusted abnormal returns and even fewer demonstrate market timing ability. After controlling for fund size, management fees, average amount, and volatility of fund flows, older funds show higher Sharpe ratios. Our evidence also reveals the volatility of fund flows has an inverted-U shape relationship with fund performance.
 
 

Performance Evaluation of Chinese Stock Mutual Funds

Based on a data from January 2003 to July 2020, I compare market index with mutual funds in Chinese stock market. First, I compare the cumulative return of market with that of mutual funds. Mutual funds have obvious advantages. Next, I compare their volatilities, Sharpe ratios, Sortino ratios, and maximum drawdowns. Based on these performance proxies, Chinese stock mutual funds still outperform the market index. Finally, I research the persistence of fund performance. Mutual funds with better performance in the past year tend to have higher returns in the next month.

Performance Comparative Analysis of Sharia Mutual Funds and Conventional Mutual Funds

COMPARISON ANALYSIS OF INDEX IDX30 OPTIMAL SHARE PORTFOLIO WITH INDONESIAN EQUITY FUND PORTFOLIO PERFORMANCE

Based on the results of the study, the conclusions that can be drawn are as follows. The optimal portfolio calculation results on the Single Index Model method for stocks show that stocks with UNVR issuers are the only ones that are optimal. Whereas in Mutual Funds there is no optimal portfolio calculation results. The results of calculations using the Markowitz method for all stock issuers obtained a return value of 0.000634 with a risk of 0.036057, namely at alpha 0.9. Meanwhile, for all stock mutual fund issuers, a return value of 0.003195 was obtained with a risk of 0.033629, namely at alpha 0.9. Compared to calculations using the Single Index Model Method for all stocks, a return value of 0.0050 is obtained with a risk of 0.0218, while for Equity Mutual Fund issuers a return value of 0.0072 is obtained with a risk of 0.0194, in this case the calculation of the optimal portfolio in stocks and mutual funds using the Markowitz Method produces a smaller return and greater risk than the Single Index Model method. The Single Index Model method which produces stock return calculations is superior to the Markowitz method. This is obtained from the results of the return value obtained on the Single Index Model which is greater than the Markowitz model so that stock investment will be more profitable if using the Single Index Model method. The Single Index Model method is superior to the Markowitz method in calculating mutual fund returns.

The Impact of Stock Selection, Market Timing and Equity Fund Size on Equity Funds Performance during Covid-19

Investors in Indonesia pay attention to the financial market's investment tools, including mutual funds. Some mutual funds even provide a higher return on investment than alternative stock investments, with a lower level of risk be-cause investment managers properly manage them. This research aims to determine how stock mutual fund success is affected by factors such as stock selection, market timing, mutual fund size, and Covid-19, with Covid-19 serving as a moderator. Purposive sampling was utilized to conduct research on Indonesian equity funds. This study's sample consists of equity funds administered by fourteen investment management firms authorized and regulated by the Financial Services Authority (OJK). Panel data regression analysis in Eviews is used to examine the information. It was discovered that neither mutual fund size nor Covid-19 played a statistically important role in determining the success of equity funds.

As a supplementary benefit, Covid-19 can significantly reduce the beneficial effects of overly optimistic stock picking on the returns of equity funds. This research also demonstrates that the effects of mutual fund size and market timing on stock fund returns are not reduced by using Covid-19.

Analyzing the Ability of Investment Managers in Equity Mutual Funds during the Covid-19 Pandemic in Indonesia

Mutual fund is one of the investment instruments widely used as an investment option. There are two essential things to be considered by the Investment Manager as a mutual fund manager: the stock selection and the market timing ability. The Covid-19 pandemic has caused many investors to experience potential investment losses.

This study applies the Fama net selectivity methods to assess stock selection ability and Treynor-Mazuy and Henriksson-Merton models to analyze market timing ability. Sharpe, Treynor, and Jensen's alpha methods are also used for measuring mutual fund performance. The data is processed per mutual fund to recognize each mutual fund's stock selection and market timing ability. Furthermore, the research spans two time periods: before and following the Covid-19 pandemic. A dataset of 104 equity mutual funds from 2016-2021 has been analyzed. The findings show that only 9 and 12 Investment Managers have stock selection ability prior to and following the Covid-19 pandemic, respectively. According to Treynor Mazuy model, there are only two Investment Managers with market timing ability prior to the Covid-19 pandemic, and only twelve Investment Managers have market timing ability during the Covid-19 pandemic, according to the Henriksson-Merton model. Every mutual fund with stock selection ability outperformed the benchmark. However, not all equity mutual fund with market timing ability outperformed the benchmark.
