ABSTRACT
This study examines the impact of fund managers' human capital obtained overseas on Chinese mutual fund managers' performance. Analyzing 792 open-ended equity funds, the study finds that fund managers with overseas experience significantly outperform their domestic counterparts in both raw and risk-adjusted returns, with an annual outperformance ranging from 1.75 to 3.09 percent. This effect is smaller, ranging from 1.03 to 1.71 percent per annum, but remains robust after accounting for differentiating fund and manager characteristics. Furthermore, the study shows that fund managers with overseas experience excel in security selection, while there are no discernible differences in market timing compared to their domestic counterparts.
