This imprinting effect develops characteristics that reflect prominent structures of the environment, and these features continue to persist in subsequent periods despite significant changes in the environment.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The performance of fund managers, as measured in our study, is likely to be affected by many characteristics. These include the funds they manage, in addition to various economic conditions such as their gender, educational background, professional credentials, age, the number of funds they run and experience both inside and outside of the financial industry.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Fund managers who start their careers in difficult macro-economic conditions, such as recessionary periods, appear to beat the market by significant margins, by specifically exhibiting better market timing than their counterparts that started their careers in relatively certain economic conditions and economic booms. They tilt their investments towards defensive, rather than cyclical, industries during and before difficult macro-economic shocks.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Overall, I hope the research offers hope for those beginning their careers today\u2014financial services or otherwise\u2014amidst effects of the pandemic. The hardships being experienced now will equip the next generation of decision-makers with both the resilience and skills to negotiate future shocks.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Fund performance data was extracted from the Centre for Research in Security Prices (CRSP) which measures fund characteristics such as size, net assets, age, expense ratio and turnover. Fund manager data was used from profiles of more than 960 professionals across a 26-year period and collected from the Morningstar Direct&#8217;s database, taking career start-point as the same year a fund manager graduated from university or college.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Recession managers and mutual fund performance,&#8221; by Professor Meziane Lasfer, the Business School (formerly Cass), Jie Chen, Leeds University Business School, Wei Song, Southampton University Business School and Si Zhou, Shanghai University, is published in the <i>Journal of Corporate Finance<\/i>.<\/p>\n<hr\/>\n<div class=\"article-main__explore my-4 d-print-none\">\n<p>                                            How partisan politics could take a bite out of your wallet\n                                        <\/p><\/div>\n<hr class=\"mb-4\"\/>\n<div class=\"article-main__more p-4\">\n                                                                                                <strong>More information:<\/strong><br \/>\n                                                Jie Chen et al, Recession managers and mutual fund performance, <i>Journal of Corporate Finance<\/i> (2021).  <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-doi=\"1\" href=\"http:\/\/dx.doi.org\/10.1016\/j.jcorpfin.2021.102010\">DOI: 10.1016\/j.jcorpfin.2021.102010<\/a><\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"d-inline-block text-medium my-4\">\n                                                Provided by<br \/>\n                                                                                                    City University London<br \/>\n                                                                                                        <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"icon_open\" href=\"http:\/\/www.city.ac.uk\/\"><br \/>\n                                                        <svg><use href=\"https:\/\/phys.b-cdn.net\/tmpl\/v6\/img\/svg\/sprite.svg#icon_open\" x=\"0\" y=\"0\"\/><\/svg><\/a><\/p><\/div>\n<p>                                        <!-- print only --><\/p>\n<div class=\"d-none d-print-block\">\n<p>                                                 <strong>Citation<\/strong>:<br \/>\n                                                 Battle-hardened fund managers produce higher returns during times of recession (2021, August  5)<br \/>\n                                                 retrieved  5 August 2021<br \/>\n                                                 from https:\/\/phys.org\/<a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/news\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"2\" title=\"News\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">news<\/a>\/2021-08-battle-hardened-fund-higher-recession.html<\/p>\n<p>                                            This document is subject to copyright.
