Neal Stoughton á málstofu í Hagfræðideild:  Strategic Mutual Fund 
Tournaments
This paper characterizes the optimal strategies of mutual fund managers 
competing in a multi-period winner-take-all tournament. In the final 
period all managers maximize the amount of risk that they add to their 
portfolios with the exception of the leading fund. This fund locks in its 
advantage by reducing risk only if it has a sufficiently large lead. 
Empirically, we find that consistent with the theory, funds with larger 
leads decrease risk; however trailing funds do not increase risks. These 
results are robust to using different ways of controlling for systematic 
risk exposures.
