Tiivistelmä: | Using a large sample of UK-listed closed-end funds, this paper examines whether governance has an impact on two indicators of fund performance: 1. the level of fund-management fees and 2. the discount at which a fund trades. Among others, it is found that fees are inversely related to fund returns, even after allowing for differences across investment sectors. On average, fees are higher if a fund has a large board, few directors (here as: dirs.) from outside the fund-family (as: f-f.), many dirs. from within the f-f., and low ownership by the management company. |
