| Tiivistelmä: | Here, mutual fund mergers between 1999 and 2001 are studied to understand the role and effectiveness of fund boards. Some fund mergerstypically across-family mergersbenefit target shareholders but are costly to target fund directors. Such mergers are more likely when funds underperform and their boards have a larger percentage of independent trustees, suggesting that more-independent boards tolerate less underperformance before initiating across-family mergers. This effect is most pronounced when all of the fund's directors are independent, not the 75% level of independence required by the SEC. Higher-paid target fund boards are less likely to approve across-family mergers that cause substantial reductions in their compensation. |
