Mutual Fund Tournaments</font>
<p><font size=3 face="Calibri">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.</font><font size=3> </font>
