Title: Holding horizon: a new measure of active investment
management
Abstract:
This paper proposes a new holding horizon (HH) measure of active
management and examines the relation between horizon and manager
skill. Our HH measure identifies, in the cross-section, funds with
higher future long-term alphas, while reported turnover
identifies, in the time-series, when a particular fund is likely
to exhibit a higher short-run alpha. The superior long-term
performance of long-horizon funds is due to their selection of
stocks with strong long-run fundamentals. Moreover, stocks largely
held by long-horizon funds outperform stocks largely held by
short-horizon funds by 2.7%-3.5% per year, adjusted for risk, over
the following five-year period.
We hope you will be able to join us!
Best,
Luca Regis
