Este trabalho investiga a relação entre as revisões das projeções de lucro por ação e do seu preço-alvo, assim como das recomendações feitas pelos analistas de investimentos, especificamente os de ações, e o comportamento dos gestores de fundos de investimento. Para o desenvolvimento dessa pesquisa, foi feita uma revisão bibliográfica das principais teorias que tratam da ideia de investimento, assim como de questões sobre a gestão dos fundos e discussões acerca dos motivos e impactos das informações emitidas pelos analistas. Analisando uma amostra que compreende a composição trimestral da carteira dos fundos de investimento classificados na categoria ações da ANBIMA, entre o terceiro trimestre de 2009 e o primeiro trimestre de 2014, a hipótese principal testada é a de que os gestores seguem as informações emitidas pelos analistas. Para tal análise foi aplicado um modelo econométrico, com o uso de dados em painel, para avaliar como as revisões das recomendações e das projeções de lucro por ação e do retorno implícito, sendo essse calculado a partir do preço-alvo estimado pelos analistas, influenciam a variação da participação trimestral dos ativos nas carteiras dos fundos de investimentos. Os resultados apontam que, na maior parte dos tipos de fundos, os gestores tendem a seguir mais as revisões de recomendações do que as outras, sendo mais presente tal comportamento quando se tem um downgrade das revisões, embora aparente que em tipos específicos, a revisão do lucro por ação é a que influencia em maior intensidade o comportamento dos gestores. Ainda mais, gestores ativos, especificamente do tipo de fundo IBrX tendem a seguir tais recomendações de modo mais intenso que os gestores passivos de tal tipo. Nota-se também que a discordância das opinões dos analistas aparenta influenciar negativamente o comportamento dos gestores, ou seja, quanto mais discordância, menos o gestor tende a seguir o consenso das revisões, especificamente as de lucro por ação e do retorno implícito. Por fim, embora os gestores tendam a seguir mais as revisões de recomendações do que as das projeções de lucro por ação e retorno implícito, são as revisões das projeções, quando seguidas, que aparentam gerar retornos positivos para os trades dos gestores. / This work assesses the relation between the revisions of the forecasts of earning per share and target price, as well as the recommendations made by the investments analysts, specifically the stocks analysts, and the trades of the manager of investment funds. To do so was done a literature review which approached the main theories of investment, even as, some aspects of the funds management and discussions about the reasons and impacts of the information issued by the analysts. Assessing one sample, which involves the quarterly composition of the portfolio of the investment funds classified in the category stocks, according ANBIMA, between the third quarter of 2009 and the first quarter of 2014, the main hypothesis tested is that the funds managers follow the information issued by the analysts. For this purpose, an econometric model using panel data was applied to assess how the revisions of the recommendations and the projections of earning per share and the implied returns, being this calculated from the target price estimated by the analysts, influence the variation of the participation of assets in the portfolio of the investiments funds between the quarters. The results show that, in the most part of kinds of funds, the managers tend to follow more the recommendations, being more present this behavior when there is a downgrade, although appears that in some kinds, the earning per share revision is that which influence with more intensity the manager\'s behavior. Moreover, active managers, specifically of IBrX funds, tend to follow the recommendation revisions with more intensity than the passive managers of this kind of fund. It\'s observable that the disagreement of opinions between analysts seems to influence negatively the managers\' behavior, this is, more disagreement, less the manager tends to follow the consensus of the revisions, specifically the earning per share and implied return revision. Lastly, although the managers tend to follow more the recommendation revisions than the projections of earning per share and the implied return, are the revisions of the projections, when followed, that appear to generate positive returns to the managers\' trades.

It will indicate to a small investor what kind of information to look for in the funds prospect. In order to do so, the observed performances of several different intervals were regressed against determinants found in the existing literature. As a result from this work, the characteristics that statistically mostly contribute to an increased performance are: Investment funds with active management that focuses on office buildings located in the major central districts. / Esta dissertação busca identificar as características indicativas de desempenho superior de Fundos de Investimento Imobiliário (FII) com quotas negociadas em bolsa. Desta maneira visa subsidiar um investidor leigo de quais informações o mesmo deve procurar em um prospecto de um fundo de investimento a fim de selecionar o seu fundo. Para tanto foi aplicada uma metodologia de regressão simples da rentabilidade observada em diversos intervalos de tempo contra variáveis geralmente indicativas de desempenho levantadas na revisão bibliográfica. Como resultado deste trabalho, destacaram-se como características estatisticamente relevantes para uma maior rentabilidade fundos de gestão ativa, sem imóvel definido, cuja política de investimento visa lajes corporativas localizadas nos grandes centros urbanos.

[pt] O problema de como alocar ativos de forma eficiente tem sido uma das questões fundamentais em Finanças. Uma das mudanças recentes no mercado brasileiro tem sido o crescimento dos fundos de Contribuição Definida, seguindo a tendência observada em outros mercados. Entretanto, ao focalizar decisões de investimento sob o ponto de vista do investidor individual, surge a necessidade de incluir a tributação no processo de alocação de carteiras. Neste contexto, este trabalho analisa a decisão de alocação e localização preferencial para as classes de ativos, em veículos de investimento com tributação convencional, ou com diferimento de imposto, mediante a legislação local. O investidor possui dois tipos de riqueza, seu capital financeiro acumulado, e o capital humano, representado pela capacidade de gerar rendimentos futuros. A solução é obtida por alocação multiperiódica de recursos, seguindo o critério de maximização da utilidade esperada da riqueza final. Face à eficiência tributária dos fundos mútuos de ações domésticos, estes podem ser priorizados na localização externa aos planos com tributação diferida, coerente com resultados recentes para o mercado americano. Contudo, se existem diferenças nas rentabilidades das classes de ativos, nos distintos veículos de investimentos, aquela localização prioritária pode mudar, pelo menos para aplicações com objetivos a serem atingidos em prazos reduzidos. / [en] The question of how to allocate assets efficiently has been one of the central issues in Finance. As perceived in other markets, one of the recent trends in the Brazilian market has been the growth of Defined Contribution Funds. However, when focusing on investment decisions for individual investors, taxes must be taken into account. In this context, the asset allocation and location is solved for brazilian assets, when the investor has to save in both investment vehicles with conventional, and deferred taxation, according to the local rules. The investor has two kinds of wealth, the accumulated financial wealth, and the human capital, representing the cash-flows that can be produced in the future. The solution is obtained through multi-period asset allocation, for an investor maximizing the expected utility of terminal wealth. Due to the tax efficiency of domestic equity mutual funds, stocks should have preferential location outside the deferred account, in accordance with recent results for the american market. However, if there are performance differences among the asset classes, within distinct investment vehicles, that preferred location may change, at least for short term investment objectives.

Cette thèse traite des fonds d’Investissement Socialement Responsables (ISR) français. D’après la Théorie Moderne du Portefeuille leur performance devrait être inférieure à celle des fonds traditionnels. Cependant des recherches antérieures présentent des résultats contradictoires. Nous choisissons de faire appel à la Resource Based View (RBV) pour interpréter cette incohérence entre théorie et pratique.Nous employons une méthodologie qualitative exploratoire, combinant des entretiens avec une analyse lexicale. Nous validons quantitativement une partie de nos résultats qualitatifs en modélisant la performance d’un fonds ISR par rapport à son indice de référence à l’aide d’une régression linéaire multiple. En se basant sur notre grille de lecture nous pensons avoir identifié deux ressources stratégiques à la disposition des fonds ISR, transformées en avantage compétitif par le biais de deux leviers stratégiques. Les deux ressources sont la compétence du gérant du fonds ISR et la subvention indirecte des frais du fonds ISR par leur Société de Gestion de Portefeuille (SGP). Les deux leviers sont la disposition de la SGP à la différentiation et l’apprentissage organisationnel à l’intérieur de la SGP.Notre recherche présente un triple apport : pour les universitaires, elle offre un cadre théorique alternatif au MEDAF qui expliquerait mieux la performance erratique des fonds ISR ; pour les praticiens, elle nous permet de faire des propositions aux fonds ISR concernant leur organisation ; pour les consommateurs, elle décortique les fonds ISR dans leurs composantes, leur proposant un aperçu non-conventionnel de leurs fonctionnements et leurs motivations. / The focal interest of this doctoral thesis is French Socially Responsible Investment (SRI) funds. According to Modern Portfolio Theory (MPT) their performance should be inferior to “traditional” fund performance. The results from previous research however have been contradicting; we have thus chosen to make use of the Resource Based View (RBV) in order to interpret this incoherency between theory and practice and shed some light into the complex interactions that govern their behavior.We approach the field using an exploratory qualitative methodology, combining interviews with lexical analysis. We validate part of our qualitative results quantitatively through a multiple linear regression of SRI funds’ performance relative to their benchmark. Based on our framework, we believe we have identified two strategic resources available to SRI funds, leveraged into competitive advantage by two drivers. The two resources are the fund manager’s competency and the indirect subsidizing of the fund’s fees by its Asset Management (AM) company. The two drivers are the tendency of AM companies to diversify their services and organizational learning inside AM companies.Our research should appeal to three types of readers: researchers, since RBV offers a more compelling (as per Occam’s Razor) interpretation of SRI funds’ erratic performance than MPT; managers, since it enables us to formulate proposals for SRI funds’ organization; and laymen, since it breaks down SRI funds to their components, offering a rarely seen view of their inner workings and ulterior motivations.

Devenue en l'espace d'une trentaine d'années un segment à part entière de la finance internationale, la finance islamique trouve désormais tout son sens dans l'économie contemporaine. La crise de 2008 et ses conséquences dramatiques sur le tissu économique et entrepreneurial ont donné un attrait aux financements islamiques et notamment aux opérations de capital risque. Apparu au début des années 2000, le capital risque islamique consiste à prendre des participations au capital de sociétés non cotées considérées comme conformes à l'éthique musulmane afin de financer leur création et leur démarrage. Dans cette opération, il existe un lien incontestable entre l'éthique religieuse et la notion d’investissement. Si les prescriptions du droit musulman garantissent un équilibre entre les partenaires financiers, elles soumettent néanmoins l’investisseur à certaines contraintes. La structuration d'une opération financière islamique commande en effet le respect de certains principes d'essence religieuse tels que la prohibition de la spéculation, l'aléa et toute forme de rémunération par l'intérêt. Se pose alors la question de l'acculturation de ce modèle dans la finance française. En ce sens, l'hypothèse principale de cette recherche vise à analyser l'adaptabilité du capital risque islamique en vue de sa structuration dans le cadre juridique français. A travers une analyse approfondie des exigences de la loi islamique et du cadre de la gestion collective en France, la présente étude met en perspective les structures juridiques permettant d'atteindre la flexibilité requise pour mettre en œuvre une opération de capital risque islamique en droit français. Outre les enjeux économiques qui sont attachés à la réception d'une activité à haute valeur ajoutée, la modélisation d'un « capital risque islamique à la française » pourrait renforcer l'attractivité de la place de Paris en permettant l'inclusion d'une catégorie d'entrepreneurs et d'investisseurs à la recherche d'une alternative plus éthique et solidaire pour le financement d'entreprise. / In the space of 30 years, Islamic finance has become a full segment of international finance and has proved its value in the contemporary economy. The 2008 crisis and its dramatic consequences on the economic and business fabric raised attractiveness of Islamic finance transactions, in particular venture capital. The latter was created in the early 2000’s and consists in taking equity participations in unlisted companies that are considered compliant with Islamic ethics to finance their creation and startup. Thus, religious ethics and investment are indisputably linked. If the Islamic law requires ensuring a balance between financial partners, the investor is nevertheless subject to certain constraints. Indeed, the legal structuring of Islamic financial transactions obliges compliance with certain religious principles such as prohibition of speculation, hazard and any form of remuneration by interest. This raises the question of the acculturation of this model within the French finance. To this end, the main hypothesis of this research aims to analyze the adaptability of Islamic venture capital in view of its implementation in the French legal framework. Through in-depth analysis of the requirements of Islamic law and the framework of collective management in France, this study puts into perspective the legal structures that could provide the flexibility required to implement an Islamic venture capital transaction into French law. In addition to the economic benefits attached to the receipt of an activity with high added value, modeling a "French Islamic venture capital" could increase the attractiveness of the financial place of Paris by allowing the inclusion of a class of entrepreneurs and investors looking for ethical and cooperative alternatives for corporate finance.

[pt] O propósito deste trabalho é analisar o impacto da tributação na seleção de produtos de acumulação de recursos de longo prazo sob o ponto de vista de um investidor individual. Para o investidor tributado e avesso a risco é realizada uma simulação de seu patrimônio final líquido de impostos sob três estratégias distintas: aplicação em fundo de investimento, aplicação em plano de previdência PGBL e aplicação em seguro de vida com cobertura por sobrevivência VGBL. Além da hipótese de resgate total dos recursos, é realizada a comparação dos veículos sob a ótica do recebimento de uma renda mensal após o período de acumulação. São examinados diferentes horizontes de investimento, saldos acumulados iniciais, faixas de renda, taxas de retorno e tipos de fundos onde estarão aplicados os recursos. O trabalho incorpora as alterações das regras tributárias divulgadas no final de 2004 e início de 2005 (Leis 11.033/2004 e 11.053/2004 e suas regulamentações) e se propõe a auxiliar os investidores na escolha do melhor veículo de investimento. / [en] The purpose of this research is to analyze the impact of taxation on the selection of long term wealth accumulation products under an individual investor's point of view. For the tax paying and risk averse investor, a simulation of his final after-tax net worth is accomplished under three different strategies: investments in mutual funds, investments in retirement plans similar to Individual Retirement Account (IRA) in the USA and investments in life insurance with coverage for survival. Besides the hypothesis of total redemption of the accumulated balance, a comparison of the three vehicles above is accomplished under the assumption of reception of a monthly income after the accumulation period. The analysis is performed under different investment horizons, initial invested balances, levels of income and profiles of funds where the resources will be invested. The research incorporates the new tax rules alterations published in late 2004 and early 2005 (Laws 11.033/2004 and 11.053/2004 and their regulations) and it intends to aid investors on how to choose the best investment vehicle.
