Title of the talk: Tournaments in Mutual Fund Families
Abstract: This lecture deals with the optimal risk taking strategy of mutual
fund managers in rank-order tournaments. The empirical study provides three
major results: First, in addition to the well documented segment tournament
fund managers also play a tournament within their fund family. Second, the
behaviour of fund managers in both tournaments depends crucially on the
number of competitors of the fund manager. Third, the risk taking behaviour
of fund managers in the segment tournament has changed dramatically over
time.
The lecture will be held in German!
Registration: until 22.1.2003
