Abstract

In this paper I study the effects that commercial bank-affiliation has on the performance and investor flows of domestic equity mutual funds operating in Denmark, Finland, Norway, Sweden and the United Kingdom. I present evidence that funds affiliated with commercial banking groups outperform unaffiliated funds by 200,5 basis points per year. The performance effect of affiliation varies both in direction and magnitude across different time periods. I present evidence that affiliation with a commercial banking group costs an average mutual fund in the sample countries 286 600 EUR of Investor Net Flows annually.
