TAXI! Do Mutual Funds Pursue and Exploit Information on Local Companies?
We use New York City (NYC) taxi data to identify trips between mutual fund offices and local firm headquarters. NYC funds overweight the stocks of local firms they visit via taxi, and firm visits are associated with superior investment performance. Firm visits are elevated prior to earnings announcements, and mutual fund trades that are associated with firm taxi visits predict earnings surprises. The results are generally stronger when fund and firm executives share educational connections. Additional tests support the conclusion that funds’ local bias and investment performance are driven by portfolio managers’ efforts and ability to actively gather material information.
