English Abstract: This study investigates how investor attention affects investors’ response to the announcement of analysts’ recommendation revisions. We use the internet search index provided by Naver as a proxy for the degree of investor attention in a firm. We measure immediate market responses to recommendation revisions using five-day cumulative average abnormal returns surrounding announcements and post-announcement drift using buy-and-hold abnormal returns from three days to fifty days following announcements. The main findings of our study are as follows: First, we find that the immediate market response to the announcement of recommendation revisions is weaker when investors’ attention in a firm is low. Second, we find that the post-announcement drift is stronger when investors have low attention. Our results are consistent with prior literature suggesting that investor inattention is related to investors’ underreaction to new information and related post-announcement drift.

Book of Abstracts: 2005 European Real Estate Society conference in association with the International Real Estate Society - Dublin, Ireland, 2005

Recent research (Storms, 2001) suggests that this advice may not be followed by those households who have decided to retire versus those who continue to work and are considered to be of retirement age. What options are available to those who are considering retirement and still have a mortgage? First, they can decide to pay off the mortgage with some of their other accumulated financial assets. This will have the effect of removing a fixed payment, but it may be at the cost of reducing more liquid assets. Second, they can downsize to a smaller unit which would allow them to pay off their mortgage and invest any equity that is left for retirement income. Third, they can take the option to keep an existing mortgage in their retirement years and instead build-up a cash reserve for liquidity purposes, obtaining tax benefits if they want to itemize their deductions, and/or a protection against the ravages of inflation by making payments with ever less expensive fixed dollars. There is very little research on the impact of the option to have a mortgage on the primary and/or secondary residence during the retirement years because of the assumption that those who retire will have paid-off mortgages. The purpose of this study is to examine the impact of the option to finance the residence on those who retire versus those who continue to work. We hypothesize that individuals who have more expensive homes and larger mortgages may be less likely to retire.

Financial Services Review, Oct 1, 2003

We find no significant difference between the net worth of retired and nonretired households, suggesting that retirees are no more adequately prepared for retirement than the nonretired subsample. With respect to portfolio allocation, retired households have significantly more financial assets, with a concentration in fixed-income securities, but home equity accounts for nearly half of their net worth. In addition, other household members' employment earnings generate approximately 40% of income for retired households. (C) 2003 Academy of Financial Services. All rights reserved. JEL classification: J26; D14; J14 Keywords: Retirement; Asset allocation; Wealth; Income; Probit 1. Introduction Within the area of personal finance, several trends have lent emphasis to the importance of individual retirement planning. Among those trends are the aging of the baby-boom generation, a general increase in average life expectancy, and the increasingly apparent burden that both of these issues are placing on the federal Social Security system. Indeed, while the future condition of Social Security is an issue of intense debate, there is general agreement that it will not continue in its current form (Tacchino and Saltzman, 2001; Fraser, Jennings and King, 2000). In addition, within private industry there has been consistent movement away from defined benefit retirement plans that are primarily created and administered by employers toward defined contribution plans that require more active employee participation (Bodie and Crane, 1999; Anthes and Most, 1999). The combination of these trends has placed increasing significance on an individual's responsibility to financially plan for his/her retirement years. In response to these trends, there is a growing body of literature addressing the financial issues of retirement. While the focus of studies has varied, a point of commonality among the literature to date has been the general lack of detailed retirement data. As a result, the majority of studies have been forward-looking, focusing on the process of preparing for retirement, but remaining fairly limited in what can be said once individuals actually reach retirement. The purpose of this study is to examine what is actually being done to financially prepare for retirement as compared to the theoretical and empirical arguments for what individuals should be doing. Specifically, we use four waves of the Health and Retirement Study (HRS) to analyze the financial condition of a sample of households as they move into retirement. We examine the allocation of assets, sources of income, and the adequacy of the preparation for retirement. We then test for the relative influence of these variables on the decision to retire. Note that while the retirement decision is likely to be significantly influenced by nonfinancial variables (e.g., health status, marital status, utility of leisure, etc.) as well, we leave these issues to be addressed in future research. The paper proceeds as follows. We provide a review of the relevant literature in Section 2, and an overview of our data and the methodology we employ in Section 3. We present our empirical results in Section 4 and conclude the paper in Section 5. 2. Literature review The retirement literature most related to this study is the research that examines the allocation of assets in preparation for retirement and the overall adequacy of financial assets to support retirement needs. Asset allocation studies consider the optimal mix of assets to be chosen in preparing for retirement. Retirement adequacy studies estimate the level of resources necessary to meet postretirement consumption needs, and based on these projections, assess the adequacy of preretirement preparation. …

Research paper thumbnail of On Country-Fund Price Behavior − an Empirical Analysis of Cointegrating Factors

Advances in Financial Planning and Forecasting, 2003

Using the data from 47 closed-end single-country funds, we examine three cointegrating factors to describe the long-run behavior of country-fund share prices. They are: the net asset value (NAV), foreign stock-market indexes, and the U.S. stock market index. In the long run, country-fund prices are more highly cointegrated with the NAV and foreign stock indexes, but less cointegrated with the U.S. stock index, indicating that potential long-term international diversification benefits through investing in country-funds, especially in emerging-country funds. However, in the short run, country-fund returns are highly sensitive to all three variables. U.S. market returns have a more significant role in explaining the country-fund return movement in the short run than it does in the long run. The evidence also shows that the error-correcting representation based on information derived from all three variables provides a most appropriate model for predicting the subsequent changes of the country-fund prices.

The study analyzes the performance of high- and low-P/E portfolios for the quarterly and monthly rebalancing as well as the annual rebalancing, using a sample period of April 1986 to March 2003, divided into a general bull market period of April 1986 to March 2000 and a recent bear market period of April 2000 to March 2003. The findings show that regardless of the frequency of portfolio rebalancing, high-P/E portfolios outperform low-P/E portfolios especially for the bull market period.

Third, although similar financial professional qualification systems for each institution coexist, it is judged that the establishment of a credible control tower is necessary to improve the quality of qualifications for financial professionals due to the current lack of connectivity and compatibility. In Singapore, a nationally accredited educational institution providing financial-related vocational education and re-education programs for banks, insurance, securities, and asset management companies has been established to provide relevant qualification standards and conduct qualification tests. As such, in Korea, there is a need for a specialized organization that regulates and manages qualification tests that can evaluate the professionalism and ethics of financial planners.

The study analyzes the performance of high- and low-P/E portfolios for the quarterly and monthly rebalancing as well as the annual rebalancing, using a sample period of April 1986 to March 2003, divided into a general bull market period of April 1986 to March 2000 and a recent bear market period of April 2000 to March 2003. The findings show that regardless of the frequency of portfolio rebalancing, high-P/E portfolios outperform low-P/E portfolios especially for the bull market period. However, when adjusted for the risk inherent in different P/E portfolios, low-P/E portfolios outperform high-P/E portfolios for all rebalancing frequencies. Finally, the evidence shows that more frequent rebalancing tends to improve the performance of low-P/E portfolios but reduces the performance of high-P/E portfolios.

To this end, it is necessary to provide financial services that can complement financial decision-making within households. Therefore, by analyzing the various financial professional qualification systems currently in place in connection with the financial planning professional qualification system, we developed an efficient operation plan to revitalize the cultivation of financial planning experts. Among the professional qualification systems for financial personnel in Korea, the current status of financial planning, investment advisory, and credit management qualification systems related to advisory services were identified, compared, and analyzed. In addition, the cases of linkage between qualifications of financial professionals and laws and regulations related to financial planning were reviewed for the qualification systems of financial professionals in advanced countries. Furthermore, based on this examination, an efficient operation plan, development direction, and policy proposal of a qualification system for financial professionals were suggested. First, it is necessary to define “the personal financial planning” as a professional finance business and legally regulate financial planning activities as in Australia and Canada. In addition, under the Financial Consumer Protection Act, financial planners should be included in the qualifications for acquisition for financial product advisory business. Second, it is necessary to improve the efficiency of the personal financial planner system by re-evaluating the contribution of personal financial planning services in financial markets. Financial planning is one of the important ways in which the household economy grows as well as the national economy. Therefore, in order to secure the financial soundness of households, it is necessary to cultivate financial planning specialists who can provide financial planning services with expertise and ethics within the framework of the domestic financial specialist qualification system, as well as to strengthen and expand their roles.

English Abstract: This study investigates how investor attention affects investors’ response to the announcement of analysts’ recommendation revisions. We use the internet search index provided by Naver as a proxy for the degree of investor attention in a firm. We measure immediate market responses to recommendation revisions using five-day cumulative average abnormal returns surrounding announcements and post-announcement drift using buy-and-hold abnormal returns from three days to fifty days following announcements. The main findings of our study are as follows: First, we find that the immediate market response to the announcement of recommendation revisions is weaker when investors’ attention in a firm is low. Second, we find that the post-announcement drift is stronger when investors have low attention. Our results are consistent with prior literature suggesting that investor inattention is related to investors’ underreaction to new information and related post-announcement drift.

Recent research (Storms, 2001) suggests that this advice may not be followed by those households who have decided to retire versus those who continue to work and are considered to be of retirement age. What options are available to those who are considering retirement and still have a mortgage? First, they can decide to pay off the mortgage with some of their other accumulated financial assets. This will have the effect of removing a fixed payment, but it may be at the cost of reducing more liquid assets. Second, they can downsize to a smaller unit which would allow them to pay off their mortgage and invest any equity that is left for retirement income. Third, they can take the option to keep an existing mortgage in their retirement years and instead build-up a cash reserve for liquidity purposes, obtaining tax benefits if they want to itemize their deductions, and/or a protection against the ravages of inflation by making payments with ever less expensive fixed dollars. There is very little research on the impact of the option to have a mortgage on the primary and/or secondary residence during the retirement years because of the assumption that those who retire will have paid-off mortgages. The purpose of this study is to examine the impact of the option to finance the residence on those who retire versus those who continue to work. We hypothesize that individuals who have more expensive homes and larger mortgages may be less likely to retire.

We find no significant difference between the net worth of retired and nonretired households, suggesting that retirees are no more adequately prepared for retirement than the nonretired subsample. With respect to portfolio allocation, retired households have significantly more financial assets, with a concentration in fixed-income securities, but home equity accounts for nearly half of their net worth. In addition, other household members' employment earnings generate approximately 40% of income for retired households. (C) 2003 Academy of Financial Services. All rights reserved. JEL classification: J26; D14; J14 Keywords: Retirement; Asset allocation; Wealth; Income; Probit 1. Introduction Within the area of personal finance, several trends have lent emphasis to the importance of individual retirement planning. Among those trends are the aging of the baby-boom generation, a general increase in average life expectancy, and the increasingly apparent burden that both of these issues are placing on the federal Social Security system. Indeed, while the future condition of Social Security is an issue of intense debate, there is general agreement that it will not continue in its current form (Tacchino and Saltzman, 2001; Fraser, Jennings and King, 2000). In addition, within private industry there has been consistent movement away from defined benefit retirement plans that are primarily created and administered by employers toward defined contribution plans that require more active employee participation (Bodie and Crane, 1999; Anthes and Most, 1999). The combination of these trends has placed increasing significance on an individual's responsibility to financially plan for his/her retirement years. In response to these trends, there is a growing body of literature addressing the financial issues of retirement. While the focus of studies has varied, a point of commonality among the literature to date has been the general lack of detailed retirement data. As a result, the majority of studies have been forward-looking, focusing on the process of preparing for retirement, but remaining fairly limited in what can be said once individuals actually reach retirement. The purpose of this study is to examine what is actually being done to financially prepare for retirement as compared to the theoretical and empirical arguments for what individuals should be doing. Specifically, we use four waves of the Health and Retirement Study (HRS) to analyze the financial condition of a sample of households as they move into retirement. We examine the allocation of assets, sources of income, and the adequacy of the preparation for retirement. We then test for the relative influence of these variables on the decision to retire. Note that while the retirement decision is likely to be significantly influenced by nonfinancial variables (e.g., health status, marital status, utility of leisure, etc.) as well, we leave these issues to be addressed in future research. The paper proceeds as follows. We provide a review of the relevant literature in Section 2, and an overview of our data and the methodology we employ in Section 3. We present our empirical results in Section 4 and conclude the paper in Section 5. 2. Literature review The retirement literature most related to this study is the research that examines the allocation of assets in preparation for retirement and the overall adequacy of financial assets to support retirement needs. Asset allocation studies consider the optimal mix of assets to be chosen in preparing for retirement. Retirement adequacy studies estimate the level of resources necessary to meet postretirement consumption needs, and based on these projections, assess the adequacy of preretirement preparation. …

Using the data from 47 closed-end single-country funds, we examine three cointegrating factors to describe the long-run behavior of country-fund share prices. They are: the net asset value (NAV), foreign stock-market indexes, and the U.S. stock market index. In the long run, country-fund prices are more highly cointegrated with the NAV and foreign stock indexes, but less cointegrated with the U.S. stock index, indicating that potential long-term international diversification benefits through investing in country-funds, especially in emerging-country funds. However, in the short run, country-fund returns are highly sensitive to all three variables. U.S. market returns have a more significant role in explaining the country-fund return movement in the short run than it does in the long run. The evidence also shows that the error-correcting representation based on information derived from all three variables provides a most appropriate model for predicting the subsequent changes of the country-fund prices.
