TAILIEUCHUNG - Seasonal Asset Allocation: Evidence from Mutual Fund Flows

Poverty reduction has two fundamental requirements: enabling the poor and marginal groups to participate in decisionmaking about their own development, and giving them access to capital, technology, credit, and land, especially in the case of the rural poor. Programs to deliver these basics must be designed with accuracy and sophistication within a frame- work of macroeconomic social policies whose main objective is poverty reduction.

While prior evidence regarding the influence of seasonally changing risk aversion on financial markets relies on seasonal patterns in asset returns we provide the first direct trade-related evidence.
