Fund Tournaments and Asset Bubbles*

Abstract: This paper studies how fund managers' relative-performance concerns affect their investment strategies in bubble periods. The managers compete for flows that are sensitive to their performance ranking. Severe ranking tournaments with highly convex flow-performance relationship lead managers to ride bubbles to outperform each other, making bubbles long-lived. However, moderate tournaments may lead them to attack bubbles quickly. The results are consistent with the observed cross-sectional variation in funds' in… Show more

“…Then, we test whether the price-to-earnings ratio (P/E) based on current earnings, the Bond-Stocks Earnings Yield Differential model (BSEYD) and the Cyclically Adjusted Price-to-Earnings ratio (CAPE), accurately predicts downturns in the SHCOMP and SZECOMP indexes. We find that the logarithm of the P/E has successfully predicted crashes over the entire length of the study (1990( for the SHCOMP and 1991( -2016 for the SZECOMP).…”

“…The academic literature on bubbles and crashes is well established, starting with studies on bubbles by Blanchard and Watson (1982), Flood et al (1986), Camerer (1989), Allen and Gorton (1993), Diba and Grossman (1988), Abreu and Brunnermeier (2003) and more recently Corgnet et al (2015), Andrade et al (2016) or Sato (2016). A rich literature on predictive models has also emerged.…”

“…4 Basak and Makarov (2014) show that, even when a manager is significantly ahead in the tournament, her investment behaviour and thus portfolio volatility is still influenced by the tournament incentives. In addition, Sato (2015) show the importance of flow-performance relationship and asset bubbles.…”

“…A similar finding for fund managers appears in Chevalier and Ellison (1999). See also Guerrieri and Kondor (2012) and Sato (2016). Grantham, in the GMO October 2006 Quarterly Letter (p. 4) and in Barron's of November 6, 2006, later observes that "Great Lakes Dock & Dredge, Hartford Steam Boiler and Twin Disc Clutch made clients feel much worse, apparently, than losing the same money in Avon, IBM and Johnson & Johnson."…”
