Ítem Persistence in Equity Fund Performance in Brazil(M.E. Sharpe Inc., 2014-01-01) Berggrun Preciado, LuisWe examine performance persistence in the large and growing Brazilian equity fund market from 2000 to 2012. We find a significant risk-adjusted spread between a portfolio of top- and bottom-performing funds, which supports the idea that performance persists. This spread remains after controlling for market, size, distress, and momentum risk factors and tends to be larger and more significant for a set of small and retail funds. The spread is mostly driven by the underperformance of the bottom decile of funds, which is consistent with the existence of some fund managers with insufficient skills to recover investment costs. © 2014 M.E.

The study also tests for a “smart money” effect (Zheng, 1999), or whether funds that receive more money subsequently outperform those that receive less money. We find that investor flows chase past performance, and document some differences in the flow–performance relationship between retail and institutional funds. We do not find evidence of a “smart money” effect for the entire sample of funds. Nonetheless, flows in small and retail funds, which are often seen as populated by less sophisticated investors, do anticipate future fund performance.
