Coinbase IPO: Digital currency won’t replace dollar any time soon
NBC4
A major trader of digital currency went live on the NASDAQ Wednesday, soaring and plunging in the first few hours of trading. Although it’s an exciting day for digital currency, it doesn’t mark the end of dollars and cents, says Matt Sheridan, a senior lecturer in finance. It does, however, legitimize other crypto assets such as Bitcoin.

Further Reading: The drawbacks of thematic ETFs
Investors' Chronicle
Thematic ETFs are one of the big investment stories of the last year, with major success in areas such as clean energy. Yet niche investments come with risks, including the prospect of buying in at the top and structural complications, according to new research from Itzhak Ben-David, the Neil Klatskin Chair in Finance and Real Estate, and his colleagues.

New ETFs, forced to chase trends, shorten their own lives
The Wall Street Journal

Thematic ETFs can deliver significant losses, academics find
Financial Times
Research conducted by Itzhak Ben-David, the Neil Klatskin Chair in Finance and Real Estate, and his colleagues, shows average returns underperform the market by about four percentage points a year. The researchers argue that the huge growth in the ETF industry has intensified competition to the point that issuers are “competing for investors’ attention by emphasizing either the low price or the product’s unique features."

Day-trader frenzy for trendy stocks is defying decades of losses
Bloomberg
New research from Itzhak Ben-David, the Neil Klatskin Chair in Finance and Real Estate, doctoral student Byungwook Kim and their colleagues found that “Demand for specialized ETFs comes from unsophisticated investors who chase investment ideas that, in their view, will produce higher expected returns.” The result are overvalued stocks that actually lost as much as 5% per year on a risk-adjusted basis between 2000 and 2019.

The story behind the market’s hottest funds
The Wall Street Journal
Research from a pair of finance faculty members, including Itzhak Ben-David, the Neil Klatskin Chair in Finance and Real Estate, provides context to a closer look at the performance of specialized — or thematic — Exchange Trade Funds (ETFs).

Want a hot stock tip? Avoid this type of investment fund
The Ohio State University
Are specialized Exchange Trade Funds (ETFs) that are built around hot industries like cannabis, cybersecurity, and work-from-home businesses good ideas? Research from Itzhak Ben-David, the Neil Klatskin Chair in Finance and Real Estate, and PhD candidate Byungwook Kim provides a cautionary tale for investors.

Stock Buybacks: What every investor needs to know
The Wall Street Journal
They have been attacked by many academics and progressive politicians. Now, with a new administration, the battle could soon get even more heated. Rene Stulz, the Everett D. Reese Chair of Banking and Monetary Economics, shares insights into stock buybacks.

The link between the stock market and the economy is weakening
Bloomberg
The stock market is often misused as a bellwether for the economy, especially in political debates. Yet the market has never reliably moved in concert with the economy. And today the connection between the two is weaker than at any point since World War II, according to research by Rene Stulz, Everett D. Reese Chair of Banking and Monetary Economics at Fisher, and a colleague.

The stock market’s strength tells us less about the true state of the economy than at almost any other time over the last five decades
MarketWatch
This new study by Rene Stulz, the Everett D. Reese Chair of Banking and Monetary Economics, and his colleagues crunches the numbers and finds the disconnect between the stock market and the economy increases as valuations become more stretched.

What’s good for corporations isn’t good for America
The New York Times
A paper by Frederik P. Schlingemann and Rene M. Stulz, the Everett D. Reese Chair of Banking and Monetary Economics, seems to confirm New York Times columnist Paul Krugman's suspicions. It’s titled “Has the stock market become less representative of the economy?”, and its conclusion seems to be yes, at least as far as jobs are concerned.

The performance of hedge fund performance fees
The Harvard Law School Forum on Corporate Governance
On its surface, the structure of hedge fund incentive fees appears to closely align the incentives of hedge fund managers and hedge fund investors. But how do these incentive fees fare in practice? Research from Itzhak Ben-David, the Neil Klatskin Chair in Finance and Real Estate, Associate Professor of Finance Justin Birru, and a colleague explores these fees.

The impact of concentration of assets at institutional fund managers
Seeking Alpha
The trend to passive investing has led to a dramatic increase in the share of assets concentrated in the hands of a few large institutional fund companies. Research by Itzhak Ben-David, the Neil Klatskin Chair in Finance and Real Estate, and his colleagues concluded that “ownership by large institutions is associated with higher stock price volatility, autocorrelation in returns (a measure of price inefficiency), and a greater magnitude of price drops at times of market stress (a measure of price fragility).”

Hedge fund fees — whether or not you make money — are truly shocking
MarketWatch
If you already see hedge fund fees as exorbitant, you ain’t seen nothing yet. Over the past two decades, the hedge fund industry has kept 64 cents of every dollar of gross profits that it has generated above the risk-free rate. This, according to research by Itzhak Ben-David, the Neil Klatskin Chair in Real Estate and Finance, and Finance Professor Justin Birru, and a colleague.

There's more big tech in your life than you even know. Check out your stock portfolio
NPR
This year, index fund investors are making money all right. But it's come with some risks: Much of the gains are due to half a dozen ultra-hot technology stocks. Lu Zhang, the John W. Galbreath Chair in Finance, provides some additional context to the presence of tech stocks in our portfolios.

Hedge fund investors get a raw deal from incentive fees
The Ohio State University
Investors who put their money in hedge funds may find that the fees are much higher than expected, a new study from Itzhak Ben-David, the Neil Klatskin Chair in Real Estate, and Associate Professor of Finance Justin Birru suggests. Most hedge funds charge their clients incentive fees of about 20 percent of gains made over a specified benchmark. But in a study of 6,000 hedge funds over 22 years, researchers found that those fees ended up costing investors nearly 50 percent – about 2.5 times more than the average fee rate on paper.

CFOs think they know more than they do
Institutional Investor
A new study by Itzhak Ben-David, the Neil Klatskin Chair in Real Estate, and colleagues from Duke, examined thousands of finance executives’ S&P 500 projections over time for one behavioral bias: excess conviction. The study, a follow-up to an earlier research project, found the overconfidence bias to be greater than even the original landmark research found.

When Tesla hits the S&P 500, it’ll spark the wildest passive trade ever
Bloomberg
As Tesla prepares to join the S&P 500, research by Rene Stulz, the Everett D. Reese Chair of Banking and Monetary Economics, and his colleagues reveals being listed on the index does not provide the same return as it used to.
July 31, 2020
Why the S&P 500 may now be easier to beat and what this means for your investments
MarketWatch
Tesla could be the latest example of how inclusion in the S&P 500 weakens a company’s stock performance. According to research from Rene Stulz, the Everett D. Reese Chair of Banking and Monetary Economics, and his colleagues, beginning around a decade ago, getting added to the S&P 500 began to cause a company's stock to drop. This information has caused some to hypothesize that the S&P 500 could become easier to time and to beat.
