The results indicate that US-managed funds, on average, display more propensity to shifting risk in response to weak performance and present a significantly higher degree of risk-shifting than European-managed funds. Our analysis also suggests that CTA managers engage more in risk-shifting when fund managers handle more assets under management at the family level (FLAUM). Regarding the role of gender on risk-shifting behavior, we do not find a significant difference between female and male-managed funds. application/pdf https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/8732084 http://hdl.handle.net/1854/LU-8732084 http://doi.org/10.1016/j.frl.2021.102635 https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/8732084/file/8765338 https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/8732084/file/8765338 eng info:eu-repo/semantics/restrictedAccess FINANCE RESEARCH LETTERS ISSN: 1544-6123 ISSN: 1544-6131 Business and Economics Finance Hedge Funds CTAs Risk Shifting Gender Performance WOMEN The role of gender for the risk-shifting behavior of hedge fund and CTA managers journalArticle info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion
