Since the turn of this Century, there has been a decided investment bias towards value over growth in the selection of stock portfolios by investors. Growth portfolios have lagged considerably. This could be due to the change in the risk orientation of investors. It could also be due to the fact that growth portfolio construction has remained fixated on ex-ante growth prospects without taking into account this possible shift in investor psychology, especially after 9/11. One of the most important papers in the origin of Modern Portfolio Theory, authored by Barr Rosenberg, decomposed the then-relatively unexplored concept of beta of the Capital Asset Pricing Model. This paper re-explores this extremely important initial academic work to see whether its conclusions could be applied to the...

We examine whether institutional investors are able to avoid future litigation. Our results show that institutions provide a fiduciary role by decreasing or eliminating their positions in sued firms well before litigation begins. We also find that institutional groups with high monitoring ability (independent investment advisors and mutual funds) are more proactive in their trading behavior than are institutions with low monitoring ability (banks, insurance companies, and unclassified institutions such as endowments, foundations, and self-managed pension funds). We find that percentage changes in institutional ownership are correlated with public information available more than two quarters before litigation.

White households are more likely to hold stock investments than minority households. Stock ownership rates of minorities generally increased between 1992 and 2001, but between 2001 and 2004 the rate decreased significantly for each minority group studied but did not significantly change for White households. Multivariate analyses showed that the predicted rates for White households did not significantly change, but Black, Hispanic, and other (mostly Asian) households had significantly lower predicted rates of stock ownership in 2004 than in 2001, indicating that factors other than those in the model accounted for the decrease in minority rates. Changes in risk tolerance and demographic and economic characteristics could not explain the drop, indicating that other reasons such as respond...

We study the behavior of active individual investors who hold foreign stocks and bonds directly. Using the Survey of Consumer Finances, we determine the demographic, financial, and behavioral characteristics that predict the likelihood of direct investments in foreign stocks and bonds. Our main findings are: (1) while aggregate data indicate substantial home bias, within the group of active individual investors in foreign stocks, there is no evidence of home bias, and (2) age, financial wealth, and proxies for investor confidence are positively related to direct ownership of foreign stocks and bonds, while proxies for lack of financial sophistication have a negative effect.

In an interview, William A. McKenna Jr, Ridgewood Savings Bank Chairman Emeritus, discussed ethics and recent trends in the banking industry. When asked about the corporate values and culture the bank wants to promote, he said they focus on responsiveness to the needs of the customer, and promote a standard of equality in all that they do. They challenge their people to find new and better ways to reach out to the community. At Ridgewood, they essentially observe the governance requirements of public companies. They have all of the appropriate committees. McKenna sees several distinct trends in community banking. One interesting phenomenon is the credit union industry. Another trend involves de novo banking, emphasizing personal service. Finally, he feels that the corporate form of mutu...
