These ETFs let you invest like the rich — but you might want to keep your money
MarketWatch
Above-average management fees for overvalued investments are a toxic mix, according to research focused on ETFs, conducted by Itzhak Ben-David, the Neil Klatskin Chair in Finance and Real Estate, PhD candidate Byungwook Kim, and their colleagues.

Why the number of publicly traded companies in the U.S. is dipping
Marketplace
The number of publicly listed companies has been nearly halved since the 1990s. A big reason, according to René Stulz, the Everett D. Reese Chair of Banking and Monetary Economics at Fisher, has been a shift in what companies are producing.

Wealth managers, charities defend fees from donor-advised funds
The Wall Street Journal
Brian Mittendorf, the H.P. Wolfe Chair in Accounting at Fisher, says an “interesting partnership” has developed between charities and financial-services companies. At the center of this relationship: shared opposition to proposed rules by the U.S. Treasury Department that would penalize certain payments from charitable funds to wealth advisers who steer the investments.

Private credit makes money for managers. For their LPs? Not so much.
Institutional Investor
Allocators want a piece of the private credit pie, but new research from Fisher's Isil Erel, the David A. Rismiller Chair in Finance, Michael Weisbach, the Ralph Kurtz Chair in Finance, and Assistant Professor of Finance Thomas Flanagan, shows that their investments might not pay off.
April 26, 2024
Private credit offers no extra gains after fees, new study finds
Bloomberg
In a new study released by the National Bureau of Economic Research, Fisher's Michael Weisbach, the Ralph D. Kurtz Chair in Finance; Isil Erel, the David A. Rismiller Chair in Finance at Fisher; and Assistant Professor of Finance Thomas Flanagan argue that direct lenders on the whole hardly produce any alpha — or extra compensation over broad market benchmarks.

Clients want in on private markets. Should advisors hold their hands?
Financial Planning
Private markets have plenty of detractors. For many, their worst drawback is high fees. A research paper co-authored by Michael Weisbach, the Ralph Kurtz Chair in Finance, found that private equity funds that specialize in buying out companies tend to see their net returns reduced by 6 percentage points annually because of management fees and interest costs.

Why the ‘Magnificent Seven’ and other momentum stocks may be hitting a wall
MarketWatch
Why have momentum stocks performed so poorly over the last two decades? Itzhak Ben-David, the Neil Klatskin Chair in Finance and Real Estate, suggests that a change instituted by Morningstar in how it rates mutual funds could be part of the reason.

Donor-advised funds: US regulators are scrambling to catch up with the boom in these charitable giving accounts
The Conversation
After years of concerns about how quickly the money reserved for charity gets distributed and whether donor-advised funds need to operate more transparently, proposed new federal regulations are now pending. Though the regulations would not create new requirements for how rapidly these funds distribute money, they do provide some new guidelines for what uses for DAFs are allowed by law, writes Brian Mittendorf, the H.P. Wolfe Chair in Accounting.

Bitcoin ETFs are off to a bad start. Will things improve?
The Economist
Research by Itzhak Ben-David, the Neil Klatskin Chair in Finance and Real Estate, and his colleagues show how thematic ETFs could be harbingers for the launch of Bitcoin ETFs.

Do bitcoin ETFs have a place in retirement portfolios?
MarketWatch
The SEC’s approval of bitcoin ETFs arguably is the occasion to sell, not buy. This is especially important for retirement investors to consider because the existence of a bitcoin ETF should not change the cryptocurrency’s underlying value, according to Itzhak Ben-David, the Neil Klatskin Chair in Finance and Real Estate at Fisher.

Momentum investing has struggled for 20 years. Here’s why.
The Wall Street Journal

The Rational Reminder Podcast: ETFs, investor behavior and hedge fund fees
The Rational Reminder
For nearly 25 years, Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs) have been a popular passive investment vehicle for both household and professional investors due to their low transaction costs and high liquidity. But what are the pros and cons? How can you diversify your portfolio to avoid volatility? Itzhak Ben-David, the Neil Klatskin Chair in Finance and Real Estate, offers his take on the current state of ETFs.

Investor demand, rating reform and equity returns
Alpha Architect
The traditional financial theory attributes security returns to market- or factor-based risk, with no role ascribed to other influences. In research published by Itzhak Ben-David, the Neil Klatskin Chair in Finance and Real Estate, the authors argue for including investor demand as an additional variable in explaining returns. Can changes in investor demand generate systematic changes in security returns?

Financial Times

There’s a wild theory that the price of Bitcoin is being propped up — and the academic who proved manipulation in 2017 suspects it may be happening again
Fortune
A research paper co-authored in 2018 by Assistant Professor of Finance Amin Shams and John Griffin, finance professor at the UT Austin McCombs School of Business, explored a single, still unidentified, Bitcoin “whale” almost singlehandedly drove the token’s giant run-up in late 2017 and early 2018 by distorting the trading in the token. Bitcoin's recent price stability has some wondering whether big buyers could be setting a price floor and pushing the cryptocurrency higher.
