Abstract: Using panel data of open-end mutual funds from 2005 to 2011, this paper investigates how the volatility of mutual fund performance affects investors' sensitivity to its performance. After validating the positive relationship between mutual fund flow and performance, we find that: (1)the volatility of performance will dampen mutual funds' positive “flow-performance” relationship: the more volatile the past performance is, the less strongly the flows respond to it; (2)The dampening effect of volatility on mutual funds' “flow-performance” relationship is not the same for mutual funds in different performance ranges: it is strongest in funds with inferior performance and weaker in funds with middle performance, for star funds with superior performance the volatility even has a strengthening effect.

Key words: finance, mutual fund flows and performance, fixed effect model, volatility of mutual fund performance

摘要: 本文利用我国2005年至2011年期间开放式基金的面板数据,研究了基金业绩波动对投资者业绩敏感程度的影响。在验证了基金资金净流量与基金业绩的正相关关系后,实证研究发现:(1)基金业绩波动降低了投资者对基金业绩的敏感程度:基金业绩波动越大,相同业绩提升带来的资金净流量越少;(2)对于不同业绩类型的基金,业绩波动对基金“业绩—资金净流量”关系的反向影响程度也有所不同:这一影响主要体现在绩劣基金中,中等业绩基金次之,在明星基金中反而体现为正向影响。
