Popis: A bootstrap and a subsequent injected alpha analysis were conducted on 1,221 Chinese mutual funds that were active at some point between July 2001 and July 2021. The results show that most active managers achieve a positive risk-adjusted return. Additionally, we find that this phenomenon is primarily attributable to local (i.e., Chinese) fund managers. We argue that one explanation for the different levels of risk-adjusted returns observed is the information asymmetry between foreign and local fund managers. Additional results support this view, as fund managers primarily investing in small- to mid-cap and value stocks provide a superior performance, which inherently exhibit greater information asymmetry. The findings are contrary to those from similar studies in developed markets, where only a few active managers demonstrate actual skill in their performance.
