选取封闭式基金作为投资对象,构建投资组合,研究了卖空约束对组合投资效率的影响。结论表明:(1)相对于不允许卖空的组合投资,允许卖空条件下组合投资的转移系数和信息率得到提高,alpha-TE有效边界得到扩张,同时也拓展了投资经理的投资空间;(2)投资业绩(信息率)提升得益于转移系数的提高,转移系数提高越多组合业绩提升越显著;(3)尤其对激进型投资经理来说,取消卖空约束对提高组合投资效率的作用更为显著。
Selecting closed-end funds as investment instrument and constructing portfolio,this paper studies the effect of shorting sales constraint on portfolio efficiency.The results show that: 1) compared to no shorting sales,portfolio efficiency described by transfer coefficient,information ratio,alpha-TE efficient frontier and investment space under the condition of shorting permitted is improved;2) the improvement of performance benefits from the increase of transfer coefficient;the more transfer coefficient increases,the more the performance improves;3) for aggressive investment managers,the effect of canceling short sales constraint is significant.
