| Abstract: | Swedish lottery bonds offer a unique opportunity to study ex-day effects in an environment where cash distributions are tax-advantaged relative to capital gains. Thus, in the lottery bond market, a reversal of the preference for capital gains that researchers have cited as an explanation for the ex-day behavior of U.S. equities is observed. It is found that the bonds are priced around the ex-day to regimes. The bonds consistently experience negative returns over the coupon payment period, and in fact often sell at negative yields prior to the cash distribution, as one would expect given tax-motivated trading btw. high-tax investors, who buy prior to the distribution, and low-tax investors, who buy after the distribution. |
