摘要:

Using novel and unique biographical data on sell-side analysts’ industry work experience and broker commissions derived from mutual fund clients, we find that buy-side funds allocate higher equity trading commissions to brokerage houses providing industry experienced analyst coverage on portfolio holding firms. Client funds generate higher abnormal holding returns, execute more profitable trades and exhibit modest bias on these stocks. For identification, we exploit a host of disruptions to research coverage emanating from analyst job changes, brokerage mergers, analyst retirements and deaths and find consistent results. Industry experienced analysts who have longer related industry work experience, professional connections to covered firms’ management, and all-star status and who cover firms moving more synchronously with industry fundamentals and firms with poor information environments confer greater benefits. The results are consistent with the notion that industry knowledge of sell-side analysts is important for brokerage firms as well as buy-side clients, highlighting the significant economic roles of analysts in capital markets.
