Can quantitative investment improve market efficiency?—Evidence from China
研究了量化投资对中国市场效率的影响，发现量化投资程度提高时多数异象表现减弱，且量化基金持仓高的股票组合异象收益更低。
Abstract We investigate the impact of quantitative investment on market efficiency in China. We provide an illustrative model to show that quantitative investment enhances market efficiency. Empirically, we conduct both time‐series and cross‐sectional analysis. Regarding the time series dimension, we construct QuantDegree to measure the level of quantitative investment. We find that the performance of most anomalies decreases as QuantDegree increases. In the cross‐sectional dimension, we sort stocks into portfolios based on quant fund holdings and traditional anomalies. We find the anomaly return is lower within the groups with higher quant fund holdings, a result further confirmed by Fama–MacBeth regressions.
