We document the dramatic rise of side-by-side management (“SbS”) in the global ETF industry. As of 2018, around 60% of individual ETF fund managers manage mutual funds in a SbS arrangement, most of which are “active” mutual funds. We argue that mutual fund firms employ SbS arrangements to exploit institutional client relationships of their mutual fund managers to help channel mutual fund TNA at risk of withdrawal to the firms’ new ETF business. Mutual fund managers are most likely to become SbS ETF managers if they generate revenue from institutional TNA and face strong ETF competition. SbS initiations lead to discretionary institutional (but not retail) outflows from mutual funds and contemporaneous inflows in the ETFs overseen by those same SbS managers. Client level holdings tests link these flows to those institutional clients with likely stronger relationship to the SbS managers, suggesting that SbS arrangements are an important tool for traditional mutual fund firms to meet and manage the rise of ETFs.
我们记录了全球ETF行业中并行管理(“SbS”)的急剧增长。截至2018年,约60%的个人ETF基金经理以SbS安排管理共同基金,其中大多数是“活跃”共同基金。我们认为,共同基金公司采用SbS安排,利用其共同基金经理的机构客户关系,帮助将有退出风险的共同基金TNA引入公司的新ETF业务。如果共同基金管理公司从机构TNA中获得收入,并面临强大的ETF竞争,那么它们最有可能成为SbS ETF管理公司。SbS的启动导致机构(而非散户)从共同基金中随意流出,同时流入由这些SbS经理监管的etf。客户层面的持股测试将这些流动与那些可能与SbS经理关系更密切的机构客户联系起来,这表明SbS安排是传统共同基金公司应对和管理etf崛起的重要工具。

Rights Offers and Delaware Law
Pub Date : 2021-06-17 DOI: 10.2139/ssrn.3869188
J. Fried
Under Delaware law, a securities issuance in which all existing investors may participate pro rata (a “rights offer”) is often seen as treating insiders and outsiders equally, making it difficult for nonparticipating outsiders to prevail on a claim that insiders sold themselves cheap securities. I show that insiders can use rights offers to sell themselves cheap securities, even if outsiders are sophisticated and well-capitalized. My analysis suggests courts applying Delaware law should more aggressively probe rights offers for substantive fairness. I conclude by describing red flags indicating a heightened risk of expropriation.
根据特拉华州的法律,所有现有投资者都可以按比例参与的证券发行(“配股”)通常被视为平等对待内部人士和外部人士,这使得不参与的外部人士很难在内部人士向自己出售廉价证券的指控中获胜。我表明,内部人士可以利用配股向自己出售廉价证券,即使外部人士经验丰富、资金充足。我的分析表明,适用特拉华州法律的法院应该更积极地调查权利提议,以实现实质性的公平。最后,我描述了表明征用风险增加的危险信号。

First-mover Disadvantage: The Sovereign Ratings Mousetrap
Pub Date : 2021-03-29 DOI: 10.2139/ssrn.3814893
Patrycja Klusak, M. Kraemer, Huong Vu
Using 102 sovereigns rated by the three largest credit rating agencies (CRA), S&P, Moody’s and Fitch between January 2000 and January 2019, we are the first to document that the first- mover CRA (S&P) in downgrades falls into a commercial trap. Namely, each sovereign downgrade by one notch by the first-mover CRA (S&P) results in 2.4% increase in the probability of a rating contract being cancelled by the sovereign client. The more downgrades S&P makes in a given month, the more their sovereign rating coverage falls relative to Moody’s. Our results are more pronounced for downgrades on small sovereign borrowers than on large sovereign borrowers. This paper explores the interaction between three themes of the literature: herding behaviour amongst CRAs, issues of conflict of interest and ratings quality.
利用2000年1月至2019年1月期间由三大信用评级机构(CRA),标准普尔,穆迪和惠誉评级的102个主权国家,我们首次证明了先发评级机构(标准普尔)在下调评级时陷入了商业陷阱。也就是说,先发评级机构(S&P)每将主权信用评级下调一级,主权客户取消评级合同的可能性就会增加2.4%。标普在一个月内下调的评级越多,相对于穆迪,它们的主权评级覆盖范围就越小。我们对小型主权借款人的评级下调比对大型主权借款人的评级下调更为明显。本文探讨了文献的三个主题之间的相互作用:评级机构之间的羊群行为,利益冲突问题和评级质量。

Interlocking Directorates in Europe – An Enforcement Gap? 欧洲连锁管理机构——执法缺口?
Pub Date : 2021-03-29 DOI: 10.2139/ssrn.3814686
Florence Thépot
This chapter highlights the potential anti-competitive risks raised by interlocking directorates between competitors. The anti-competitive effects stem both from the increased ability to collude enabled by interlocks, as well as the reduced incentive to compete fiercely on markets characterised with numerous social and corporate links. In addition, this chapter touches upon the questions of conflict of interest and problems of directors’ independence that are inherent when a board member sits on the boards of two competing companies. The main claim of this chapter is that there may be an enforcement gap around anti-competitive effects of interlocking directorates in Europe.
本章重点介绍了竞争对手之间连锁董事所带来的潜在反竞争风险。这种反竞争效应既源于联锁导致串通的能力增强,也源于在以众多社会和企业联系为特征的市场上激烈竞争的动力降低。此外,本章还涉及了当董事会成员同时担任两家竞争公司的董事会时所固有的利益冲突问题和董事独立性问题。本章的主要主张是,在欧洲,围绕连锁董事的反竞争影响,可能存在执法差距。

Avoiding Liability – The Role of Auditors and Comfort Letters in Capital Markets Transaction 避免责任——审计师在资本市场交易中的角色和安慰信
Pub Date : 2021-01-29 DOI: 10.2139/ssrn.3862606
Ben Chester Cheong
In every capital raising exercise, there will be various obligations and requirements imposed by the stock exchanges, securities laws and investors. These obligations and requirements are then represented by a disclosure document (commonly known as a prospectus or offering circular). The disclosure document then creates various liability issues for issuers and managers which extends even after the offering process has completed. Liability on issuers and managers protects investors against fraudulent offerings (think Wolf of Wall Street!). In order to mitigate such risks arising from disclosure documents, issuers and managers (through their respective legal counsels) avail themselves of the due diligence defense. Come and hear Ben Chester Cheong talk more about how auditors and comfort letters play a crucial role in the due diligence defense in the context of US securities laws in international offerings.
在每一次融资活动中,都会有证券交易所、证券法和投资者强加的各种义务和要求。这些义务和要求随后由披露文件(通常称为招股说明书或发行通函)表述。然后,披露文件为发行者和管理人制造了各种责任问题,即使在发行过程完成后,这些责任问题也会继续存在。发行者和管理者的责任保护投资者免受欺诈性发行(想想《华尔街之狼》吧!)为了减轻披露文件带来的此类风险,发行人和管理人(通过各自的法律顾问)利用尽职调查为自己辩护。来听听Ben Chester Cheong更多地谈论,在美国证券法的背景下,审计师和安慰信如何在国际发行的尽职调查辩护中发挥关键作用。

Convergence in Motion: A Review of Fair Value Levels' Relevance 运动中的趋同:公允价值水平相关性的回顾
Pub Date : 2020-12-20 DOI: 10.2139/ssrn.3504756
Andrei Filip, Ahmad Hammami, Zhongwei Huang, Anne Jeny, M. Magnan, Rucsandra Moldovan
The IFRS 13 post-implementation review by the IASB motivates our investigation on the value relevance of fair value (FV) measurement hierarchy (i.e. level 1, level 2, and level 3). First, using a meta-analysis, which allows us to summarize inconsistent empirical findings, we synthesize studies on the value relevance of the FV hierarchy. Overall, value relevance is lower for level 3 than for levels 1 and 2, but it increases over time. In non-U.S. studies, we note lower value relevance across all levels of FV assets. Underlying asset fundamentals, model risk, and measurement process complexity may contribute to this value relevance gap. Second, from interviews with professionals from financial institutions, we note that, in practice, there has been extensive learning about FV accounting since the 2007‒9 Financial Crisis and a formalization of the valuation process that the academic literature has yet to fully recognize. We thus highlight conceptual and methodological issues and areas for research with practical implications.
国际会计准则理事会(IASB)对《国际财务报告准则第13号》(IFRS 13)实施后的复核促使我们对公允价值(FV)计量层次(即第1级、第2级和第3级)的价值相关性进行调查。首先,我们使用荟萃分析来总结不一致的实证结果,综合了关于FV层次价值相关性的研究。总体而言,级别3的价值相关性低于级别1和级别2,但随着时间的推移会增加。在美国。在研究中,我们注意到FV资产在所有水平上的价值相关性较低。潜在的资产基础、模型风险和度量过程的复杂性可能导致这种价值相关性差距。其次,从对金融机构专业人士的采访中,我们注意到,在实践中,自2007 - 2009年金融危机以来,人们对财务价值会计进行了广泛的学习,并且学术文献尚未充分认识到估值过程的正规化。因此,我们强调概念和方法问题以及具有实际意义的研究领域。

The Value of Regulators as Monitors: Evidence from Banking 监管者作为监督者的价值:来自银行业的证据
Pub Date : 2020-12-11 DOI: 10.2139/ssrn.3081537
Emilio Bisetti
While conventional wisdom suggests that regulation is costly for shareholders, agency theory predicts a positive role for regulation in reducing shareholder monitoring costs. I study this trade-off by exploiting an unexpected decrease in small-bank supervision by the Federal Reserve, and I find that reduced Fed supervision leads to a 1% loss in bank Tobin’s q and a 7% loss in equity market-to-book. These losses come from increased monitoring expenditures and managerial misreporting, and are larger when bank cash flows are volatile and opaque. My results highlight a novel substitution effect between public monitoring by regulators and private monitoring by shareholders.
虽然传统观点认为,监管对股东来说代价高昂,但代理理论预测,监管在降低股东监督成本方面具有积极作用。我利用美联储对小银行监管的意外减少来研究这种权衡,我发现美联储监管的减少导致银行托宾q损失1%,股票市净率损失7%。这些损失来自增加的监测支出和管理误报,当银行现金流不稳定和不透明时,损失更大。我的研究结果突出了监管者的公共监督与股东的私人监督之间一种新的替代效应。

A Dynamic Model of Managerial Entrenchment and the Positive Incentives It Creates 管理堑壕的动态模型及其创造的积极激励
Pub Date : 2020-12-08 DOI: 10.2139/ssrn.3475272
G. Guthrie
Abstract This paper presents a real-options model of entrenchment in which a CEO chooses how much effort to put into boosting a firm’s productivity and the board and CEO bargain over executive-compensation and investment policies. The surplus that bargaining allocates derives from the reduction in value of the firm’s capital that occurs if the CEO is replaced. Even if the CEO has no ownership stake, she exerts effort in order to increase the value of the capital at risk. This increases the shared surplus, which increases the CEO’s current pay. Newly appointed CEOs are paid less and work harder than their entrenched counterparts. They exert more effort at firms where the CEO’s human capital is more important. In contrast, entrenched CEOs exert more effort at firms where their human capital is less important and turnover-induced disruption has a higher cost. Both types work harder when average productivity growth is higher and productivity growth is more sensitive to effort. The board and CEO will agree to accept a degree of investment inefficiency if this allows them to slow down the CEO’s entrenchment.
摘要本文提出了一个堑壕的实物期权模型,在该模型中,CEO选择为提高公司生产率投入多少努力,董事会和CEO就高管薪酬和投资政策进行讨价还价。讨价还价分配的盈余来自于CEO被替换后公司资本价值的减少。即使CEO没有股权,她也会努力增加风险资本的价值。这增加了共享盈余,从而增加了首席执行官的当前薪酬。新上任的首席执行官的薪水比他们的老同事要低,工作也更努力。在CEO的人力资本更重要的公司,他们会付出更多的努力。相比之下,在人力资本不那么重要、人事变动引发的混乱成本更高的公司,根深蒂固的首席执行官会付出更多努力。当平均生产率增长较高且生产率增长对努力更敏感时,这两种类型的人都工作得更努力。董事会和首席执行官将同意接受一定程度的投资效率低下,如果这允许他们减缓首席执行官的壕沟。

Research Summary: To address endogeneity concerns stemming from firm-CEO matching, we deploy a two-sided matching model that identifies the complementarities arising from the CEO-firm match and subsequently account for these complementarities in empirical tests. Applying this approach, we examine how the nature of CEOs’ human capital affects the acquisition behavior and performance of firms. We find that generalist CEOs (CEOs with a broader set of knowledge and skills) are more likely to engage in unrelated acquisitions than specialist CEOs (CEOs with a narrower but deeper set of knowledge and skills). We also find that the fit between the nature of CEOs’ human capital and the type of acquisitions they undertake is associated with stronger performance. Our paper contributes to research on CEOs, human capital, M&As, and microfoundations.

Managerial Summary: We deploy an empirical approach that takes into account the complementarities that arise from the matching of CEOs and firms when testing hypotheses on how CEO attributes shape firm outcomes. Based on this approach, our study finds that CEOs with a broader set of managerial knowledge and skills (generalist CEOs) are more likely to engage in unrelated acquisitions (acquisitions outside a firm’s main industry) than CEOs with a narrower but deeper set of knowledge and skills that is more closely tied to a particular industry, firm, or domain (specialist CEOs). We also find that the fit between the nature of CEOs’ human capital and the type of acquisitions they engage in is associated with stronger performance.
研究总结:为了解决企业与ceo匹配产生的内生性问题,我们部署了一个双边匹配模型,该模型确定了ceo与企业匹配产生的互补性,并随后在实证测试中解释了这些互补性。运用这一方法,我们考察了ceo人力资本的性质如何影响企业的收购行为和绩效。我们发现,多面手ceo(拥有更广泛的知识和技能的ceo)比专门型ceo(拥有更狭窄但更深入的知识和技能的ceo)更有可能参与不相关的收购。我们还发现,ceo的人力资本性质与其收购类型之间的契合度与更强的绩效相关。本文对ceo、人力资本、并购和微观基金会的研究有一定的贡献。管理总结:我们采用了一种实证方法,在测试关于CEO属性如何塑造公司结果的假设时,考虑了CEO和公司匹配所产生的互补性。基于这种方法,我们的研究发现,拥有更广泛的管理知识和技能的ceo(通才型ceo)比拥有更狭窄但更深入的与特定行业、公司或领域联系更紧密的知识和技能的ceo(专才型ceo)更有可能参与不相关的收购(公司主业以外的收购)。我们还发现,ceo的人力资本性质与其参与的收购类型之间的契合度与更强的绩效相关。

We also find that the fit between the nature of CEOs’ human capital and the type of acquisitions they engage in is associated with stronger performance.<br>","PeriodicalId":440695,"journal":{"name":"Corporate Governance: Actors & Players eJournal","volume":"36 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-11-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133451830","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The paper examines the investment decisions of equity mutual funds during various stages of the COVID-19 pandemic with monthly portfolio holdings. We find that funds have favored firms with lower risk, higher financial flexibility, and larger asset size during the early months of the pandemic. This preference for relatively less risky firms, which later reverses, suggests a reallocation towards safer assets given the higher uncertainty at the beginning of the crisis. We also find that funds preferred growth firms over value firms as value firms with greater invested capital are likely to be less resilient to the crisis-induced shock. Institutional investors have also favored group-affiliated firms throughout the crisis, reflective of their ability to negotiate through the protracted economic shock. Furthermore, our fund-level analysis reveals that the investment approach of funds strongly varied by the extent of the net fund flows. The paper brings out key firm- and fund-level characteristics that impact the asset allocation of institutional investors during extreme market uncertainty.
本文考察了股票共同基金在COVID-19大流行不同阶段的投资决策。我们发现,在大流行的最初几个月里,基金更青睐风险较低、财务灵活性较高、资产规模较大的公司。这种对风险相对较低的公司的偏好(后来会逆转)表明,在危机开始时,鉴于较高的不确定性,人们开始重新配置更安全的资产。我们还发现,相比价值型公司,基金更青睐成长型公司,因为拥有更多投资资本的价值型公司对危机引发的冲击的抵御能力可能较弱。在整个危机期间,机构投资者也青睐于集团下属的公司,这反映了它们在长期经济冲击中讨价还价的能力。此外,我们的基金层面分析显示,基金的投资方式因资金净流量的程度而有很大差异。本文提出了在极端市场不确定性下影响机构投资者资产配置的公司和基金层面的关键特征。
