Dynamic Liquidity Management by Corporate Bond Mutual Funds
研究了公司债券共同基金如何管理流动性以应对投资者赎回，发现市场平稳时基金减持流动资产，不确定性高时则按比例缩减资产以保持流动性，且这种管理会影响整个金融市场。
Abstract How do corporate bond mutual funds manage liquidity to meet investor redemptions? We show that during tranquil market conditions, these funds tend to reduce liquid asset holdings to meet redemptions, temporarily increasing relative exposures to illiquid asset classes. When aggregate uncertainty rises, however, they tend to scale down their liquid and illiquid assets proportionally to preserve portfolio liquidity. This fund-level dynamic management of liquidity appears to affect the broad financial market: Redemptions from the corporate bond fund sector lead to more corporate bond selling during high-uncertainty periods, which generates price pressures and predicts strong return reversals.
