Incentives matter: Domestic funds and price informativeness improvement
Using a sample of Chinese listed companies between 2005 and 2019, we do not find that domestic funds make a significant contribution to price informativeness, consistent with the low-information conductions of domestic institutional investors widely documented in the literature. However, their impacts become prominent when incentives are considered. The underlying mechanism is also explored. We further construct the firm-level price informativeness and decompose it into year fixed effect, price informativeness attributed to fund managers, and the matching between the fund and the stock to trace out the role of each part in this price informativeness enhancement process.
