Abstract
Investigating the dynamic relationship between institutional investment and market returns, this paper addresses how equity price is correlated with changes in institutional investment fund holdings using data from the Securities and Exchange Commission Form N-PORT. The focus is on changes in quarterly fund holding of small-cap equities in the Russell 2000 from 2020-03-31 to 2024-12-31. For our analysis, we use both fixed and random effects panel regression to show the relationship between changes in fund holdings and asset returns. The results suggest that fund holding flow information, as reported in N-PORT filings, provides important insight into institutional trading behavior and individual asset returns. Our work builds on existing literature that uses 13F data and demonstrates the added value of N-PORT for fund flow analysis.
期刊介绍:
ASMBI - Applied Stochastic Models in Business and Industry (formerly Applied Stochastic Models and Data Analysis) was first published in 1985, publishing contributions in the interface between stochastic modelling, data analysis and their applications in business, finance, insurance, management and production. In 2007 ASMBI became the official journal of the International Society for Business and Industrial Statistics (www.isbis.org). The main objective is to publish papers, both technical and practical, presenting new results which solve real-life problems or have great potential in doing so. Mathematical rigour, innovative stochastic modelling and sound applications are the key ingredients of papers to be published, after a very selective review process.
The journal is very open to new ideas, like Data Science and Big Data stemming from problems in business and industry or uncertainty quantification in engineering, as well as more traditional ones, like reliability, quality control, design of experiments, managerial processes, supply chains and inventories, insurance, econometrics, financial modelling (provided the papers are related to real problems). The journal is interested also in papers addressing the effects of business and industrial decisions on the environment, healthcare, social life. State-of-the art computational methods are very welcome as well, when combined with sound applications and innovative models.
