Abstract

By using a unique data set on the organizational structure of fixed-income portfolio managers, that is, mutual funds and insurance companies, we study the effects of organizational hierarchy within a fund management team on bond investing. We document that team hierarchies reduce the portfolio managers’ incentive to collect and share soft information. Funds with multiple hierarchies invest less in bonds of local firms, hold less concentrated portfolios, and herd more with the market. Overall, they deliver lower portfolio performances. We also show that changes in fund hierarchy subsequently find their way into fund behaviors.

团队层级对债券投资的影响

本文利用固定收益投资组合经理(共同基金和保险公司)组织结构的独特数据集，研究基金管理团队内部组织层级对债券投资的影响。我们记录了团队层次结构降低了投资组合经理收集和共享软信息的动机。拥有多重层次结构的基金较少投资于本地公司的债券，持有较少集中的投资组合，更多地跟随市场。总体而言，它们的投资组合表现较差。我们还表明，基金层级的变化随后会影响到基金的行为。
