摘要:
We
investigate the role of corporate-bond mutual funds in providing liquidity to
insurance companies that are forced to sell downgraded corporate bonds due to
regulatory constraints (Ellul, Jotikasthira, and Lundblad, 2011). First,
corporate-bond mutual funds are important liquidity providers to insurance
companies during fire sale events, purchasing about 24% of fire sale bonds
during the downgrading quarter. Second, our results support the slow-moving
capital theories (Duffie, 2010) based on searching costs and limited capital
capacity of financial intermediaries. We find that fire sale bonds receiving
less liquidity provision from mutual funds experience larger price drop and longer
recovery period. Third, corporate-bond mutual funds benefit from liquidity
provision to insurance companies. Fund managers most actively and persistently
engaging in liquidity provision demonstrate superior overall selection and
timing skills in corporate bond investments.
