Abstract

This study investigates the impact of BlackRock's September 7, 2023, announcement to close the China Flexible Equity fund on Chinese A-share listed firms held by foreign institutional investors (FIIs). Using event study methodology, we find that the cumulative abnormal return (CAR) of these firms significantly decreases around the announcement date. The decline is attributed to investor concerns about the absence of original governance structures and pessimistic sentiments driven by representativeness bias. The effect is more pronounced in firms with overseas business, weaker investor protection, and overvalued stocks. Our findings provide insights into the influence of FIIs on capital market stability amid global financial movements.

外国机构投资者撤资的股价溢出效应：贝莱德关闭中国灵活股票基金的证据

本研究探讨了贝莱德于 2023 年 9 月 7 日宣布关闭中国灵活股票基金对外国机构投资者（FII）持有的中国 A 股上市公司的影响。利用事件研究方法，我们发现这些公司的累计异常收益率（CAR）在公告日前后显著下降。这种下降归因于投资者对原有治理结构缺失的担忧和代表性偏差导致的悲观情绪。这种影响在有海外业务、投资者保护较弱以及股票估值过高的公司中更为明显。我们的研究结果让我们深入了解了在全球金融动荡中外国直接投资对资本市场稳定性的影响。
