Abstract
Mutual fund investors reward short run performance with large inflows. Fund
managers facing strong performance-related flows are shown to focus more on
short horizon investments. Further tests of causality suggest that fund
managers short investment horizons are caused by their investors short
horizons, but not the other way around.
