摘要:在累积收益和投资者税收敏感性方面的差异会导致共同基金之间的资本利得锁定效应的变化,即使是同一只股票也是如此。对这种变化进行研究,我们发现这种效应会影响基金的治理决策:较高的资本利得会降低基金在争议投票前退出的可能性,并增加基金投票反对管理层的可能性。与税收动机一致,这些影响主要集中在由税收敏感投资者持有的基金中。此外,持有股票的基金总资本利得较高,预示着管理层失去投票的可能性较高,以及争议投票奏效的可能性较低。

ABSTRACT
Differences in accrued gains and investors’ tax-sensitivity induce variation in a capital gains lock-in effect across mutual funds even for the same stock at the same time. Exploiting this variation, we show this effect influences funds’ governance decisions: higher capital gains decrease the likelihood a fund exits prior to contentious votes and increase the likelihood a fund votes against management. Consistent with tax motivation, these findings are concentrated among funds with tax-sensitive investors. Further, high aggregate capital gains across funds holding a stock predict a higher likelihood management loses a vote and a lower likelihood a contentious vote is proposed.
