By nesting a well-known corporate hedging model within a principal-agent framework, we show that managers are motivated to maintain the same level of hedge intensity even if they are provided with stock option incentives.

These predictions are verified empirically using separate measures for hedging and speculative activities.

The consistency of active equity mutual funds in generating a positive alpha over the successive FOMC announcements is positively related to future fund flows. This consistency is linked to the sensitivity of fund holdings (average uncertainty beta) to the monetary policy uncertainty related to the FED decisions. The uncertainty beta of mutual funds with respect to monetary policy uncertainty can predict both the investor flows and the future performance of the fund. Thus, the monetary policy uncertainty appears to be an important risk factor for funds, as investors redirect their capital to funds with the ability to hedge this risk and provide a positive risk-adjusted return over the FOMC announcements.</p>","PeriodicalId":39670,"journal":{"name":"Financial Markets, Institutions and Instruments","volume":"35 1-2","pages":"33-57"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2026-06-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/fmii.70007","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148300005","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Existing research on the role of cultural distance suggests that cultural disparities destroy shareholders’ wealth. Using an international sample of CBMAs over 19 years, we document that synergistic gains increase by 1.75 percentage points with one standard deviation increase in cultural distance. Drawing from the organizational learning theory, we suggest that learning diverse cultural practices in the post-acquisition stage is a source of higher synergy gains. The positive association between cultural distance and synergies is more pronounced if the acquirer pays in stock and already has takeover experience. This suggests that better awareness of the target country's culture and risk management through stock payment are boundary conditions for higher gains. Overall, our results lead to the counter-intuitive finding that CBMAs between firms from countries with dissimilar cultures are not always valued as destructive but depend on how merging firms learn the cultural practices of one another and manage integration challenges. We offer practical implications for regulators and policymakers about how the international takeover market can serve as a vehicle for learning new cultural practices and increasing combined firm value.</p>","PeriodicalId":39670,"journal":{"name":"Financial Markets, Institutions and Instruments","volume":"34 5","pages":"223-245"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-08-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/fmii.70002","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145479986","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Existing Covid-19 research primarily focused on market reactions and lockdown impacts, overlooking the influence of ideological diversity of firms’ directors on resilience. To address this gap, we examine personal contributions to the US Republican or Democratic parties by 11,741 directors from 328 S&amp;P 500 firms, revealing their political ideologies. Our findings highlight that firms with diverse boards experience milder stock return declines during the Covid-19 outbreak, indicating a positive link between ideological diversity and firm performance. This study presents evidence of the significant impact of ideological diversity in corporate boardrooms, showcasing how it affects firms’ resilience during times of extreme market uncertainty. Our findings emphasise the importance of revisiting the theories to explain the ideological diversity in shaping strategies to respond to uncertainty during unpredictable times. Based on social psychological theory alongside agency theory, the findings provide clear indications to practitioners that during future uncertainties, the ideological diversity of the board should be considered to optimise the board's potential to improve performance.</p>","PeriodicalId":39670,"journal":{"name":"Financial Markets, Institutions and Instruments","volume":"34 5","pages":"199-221"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-07-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/fmii.70000","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145479911","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Using a sample of 2711 US-based hedge funds from the Lipper TASS database between 1994 and 2018, we construct a hedge fund competition network (HFCN) based on alumni and employment ties derived from LinkedIn profiles. We find that greater centrality in the HFCN, indicating closer proximity to peer competitors, is associated with lower abnormal performance. This effect is partially mediated by a decline in strategy distinctiveness, measured by the Strategy Distinctiveness Index (SDI). Funds with stronger network ties tend to exhibit greater return similarity with peers, suggesting that social proximity encourages strategic conformity. The results are robust across performance metrics, style classifications, and subsamples and are particularly pronounced among managers with strong cognitive profiles.</p>","PeriodicalId":39670,"journal":{"name":"Financial Markets, Institutions and Instruments","volume":"34 4","pages":"173-195"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-07-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/fmii.70001","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145237099","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Our results show that customers receive less favourable trade terms and are forced to pay more for inputs after their suppliers go public, all of which increase customers’ operational costs, risk and subsequent borrowing costs.

Unlike previous empirical studies, our research sheds new light on the impact of financial flexibility (changes in credit ratings and over/underinvestment) on the duration of these policies. Using a large sample of US firms for the period from 1985 to 2017, we employ a novel empirical approach of multilevel survival model estimators for different subsamples of conservative and aggressive debt policy users. The results show that, on average, the duration of extreme financing policies renders the degree of urgency to shift towards firms' optimal leverage.

In this paper, we argue that wealth inequality in the United States has been exacerbated by an environment favourable to the ultra-wealthy. Three distinctive changes in the economic and political landscape have fostered the increase in inequality. First, campaign finance law abruptly changed after the Citizens United Supreme Court decision. This decision gave the ultra-wealthy an outsized influence on American politics. Second, an increase in competition for executive talent drove CEO salaries to new heights. Demand increased for executives with general leadership skills as corporations grew larger, increasing competition in the market for executive talent. Third, because tax policy in the United States is subject to lobbying influences, those at the top of the wealth distribution are favoured, leading to further concentration in wealth. Our empirical results are consistent with the view that these changes resulted in an increase in disparity, shifting wealth from the 99% to the 1%.</p>","PeriodicalId":39670,"journal":{"name":"Financial Markets, Institutions and Instruments","volume":"34 2","pages":"71-84"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-11-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/fmii.12210","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143801600","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
