In light of the growing importance of mutual fund investment in academic and industrial research, the paper aims at answering a question of paramount importance, i.e. Does recategorization affect mutual fund investment? An unmatched sample t-test was conducted to compare the pre- and post-categorization among the large, mid, and small-cap firms based on three variables: liquidity, volatility, and returns. The results of the t-test postulate that the liquidity of large-cap firms and returns of the small-cap firms were significantly different for both periods of study. In contrast, all other variables remain indifferent across both periods. Overall, the study contributes to the literature and practice by providing meaningful pre- and post-categorization insights. The study provides important insights for mutual fund managers to understand the correct effect of re-categorization on market efficiency. The study provides transparency for future research in the field of mutual fund investment. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
