Liquidity, institutional ownership and regulation fair disclosure

There is a body of academic literature addressing two issues of importance for leveling the playing field for all classes of investors: 1) the impact of institutional investors on liquidity; and 2) the impact of Regulation Fair Disclosure on institutional investors and liquidity. Our study addresses both issues with the purpose of attaining a better understanding and explanation of this relationship. We classify institutional ownership according to Bushee's (1998, 2001) methodology; transient institutions, dedicated institutions and quasi-indexers. Our results indicate that while transient institutions and quasi-indexers have a positive impact on liquidity, dedicated institutional ownership is negatively associated with liquidity. This result is consistent with prior theoretical studies. We also find that the effectiveness ofthe Regulation Fair Disclosure in improving liquidity is limited to firms with higher transient institutional ownership, whereas quasi-indexed institutions have not been significantly affected by the regulations. In fact, the liquidity of firms is lower for firms with higher dedicated institutional holdings, which is evidence of the "chilling effect".

Desafíos para la construcción de un Índice de Deuda Corporativa en el mercado de valores colombiano

En la medida en que la deuda corporativa ha tomado mayor dinamismo a raíz de la última crisis, para los estructuradores de portafolio se ha hecho primordial tener un referente que permita medir el desempeño de este tipo de inversiones -- A nivel internacional, el objetivo de desarrollar un benchmark que cumpla con los supuestos de liquidez, replicabilidad, estabilidad y universalidad ha sido una constante -- Adicionalmente, muchos índices se han enfocado en cubrir cada uno de los perfiles de riesgo de los inversionistas -- En Colombia, aunque se han dado pasos importantes hacia el desarrollo del mercado de deuda corporativa, aún no se cuenta con un índice que sirva de referencia para medir el desempeño de portafolios y cumpla con los mencionados supuestos -- Por lo cual, se hace inminente la aceleración de su profesionalización en la búsqueda de instrumentos que proporcionen una mayor rentabilidad comparada con aquella brindada por los de deuda pública, pero con un riesgo más moderado en comparación con los instrumentos de renta variable -- Este trabajo pretende hacer un análisis de la evolución y caracterización de este tipo de índices, desde la experiencia internacional, con el fin de plantear los principales lineamientos para la construcción de un índice que permita representar este segmento del mercado de valores colombiano

Female senior managers in the Brazilian finance industry: a journey towards success

No nível global, a representação de líderes de sexo feminino nas empresas muitas vezes ainda se dá em números baixos em termos de percentagem. Particularmente em finanças, esses registros estão abaixo da média da indústria, e a forte concorrência e o ambiente de trabalho dominado pelos homens tornam difícil para as mulheres atingir o topo da pirâmide corporativa (Torres et al., 2013; OECD Better Life Index 2015). Isto pode ser devido a uma falta de equilíbrio trabalho-vida, diferentes estilos de liderança, as mulheres sendo intimidadas, ou a conformidade com estruturas familiares convencionalmente englobadas. No Brasil, os códigos de comportamento tradicionais são muito palpáveis na sociedade do país, embora esta também tenha se beneficiado de uma forte presença de movimentos feministas na segunda metade do século passado (Tate and Yang, 2015; Bowles et al. 2007; Niederle and Vesterlund, 2007). Nos últimos anos, o setor financeiro brasileiro tem crescido, oferecendo maiores oportunidades de emprego e desenvolvimento de carreira nas corporações nacionais e internacionais (Chiang et al., 2013; Bruschini, 2007). Esta dissertação aborda os desafios enfrentados por líderes de sexo feminino do mercado financeiro brasileiro e as suas trajetórias de carreira. Este objetivo será atingido por meio de uma análise de mídia social, focando nos anos de experiência de trabalho das mulheres analisadas, a posição atual delas e se elas têm filhos, bem como com 10 entrevistas semiestruturadas realizadas com executivas no setor financeiro no Brasil. Estas medidas irão abranger lacunas na literatura e consequentes recomendações para pesquisas futuras.
