Portfolio similarity in Korean equity fund market
Kim, Jaeouk
This paper examines the effects of fund portfolio similarity on performance and flow in Korean equity fund market. In the period of 2001 ~ 2018, average portfolio overlaps of Korean domestic equity funds is 44%, meaning that about half of a given fund¡¯s portfolio is same with other funds in the industry. Moreover, average investment weight on top 10 popular stocks is 44% and top 30 is 67% meaning that portfolio similarity in Korean equity fund market is quite high. Although, performance of frequently overlapped stocks show positive and significant 4-factor adjusted alpha, funds with higher portfolio overlap and higher weights on frequently overlapped stocks do not significantly outperform low overlap/low weights on frequently overlapped stocks funds. Lastly, these funds experience significant and negative money inflow, indicating that Korean fund investors prefer funds with more unique investment strategy.
