Abstract: | The stock price reaction to seasoned equity offerings (SEOs) of closed-end funds and the determinants of the issuance decision are examined in this article. It is found that sample funds have negative average announcement-day returns that are less than the returns associated with industrial company SEOs, most likely because funds have fewer information asymmetries. Issuing funds have higher pre-issue returns, higher premiums, lower betas and lower three-year, post-issue returns than nonissuing funds. |
