Eric Yeung, Auteur Année de publication : 2012 Article en page(s) : pp. 1779-1796 Note générale : Management Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Risk-taking  Mutual  funds  Geographic  location  Religion Résumé : We study the effects of local religious beliefs on mutual fund risk-taking behaviors. Funds located in low-Protestant or high-Catholic areas exhibit significantly higher fund return volatilities. Similar differences persist when we use the religiosity ratios at fund managers' college locations. Risk-taking associated with local religious beliefs manifests in higher portfolio concentrations, higher portfolio turnover, more aggressive interim trading, and more “tournament” risk-shifting behaviors, but not over-weighting risky individual stocks. Overall, our results suggest that local religious beliefs have significant influences on mutual fund behaviors.
