A estabilidade econômica e o crescimento do mercado de capitais ocorridos no Brasil nas últimas duas décadas, fez com que alguns produtos de investimentos tivessem um crescimento no volume de operações e nos montantes transacionados. Um destes produtos com grande crescimento são os Fundos de Investimento Imobiliários (FIIs), produto que tem como foco o investimento, direto ou indireto, em ativos financeiros ligados a imóveis. No Brasil a criação deste produto foi muito influenciada pela necessidade de captação de recursos por parte do incorporador ou proprietário do ativo, se tornando também, ao se analisar pela perspectiva do investidor, uma opção de diversificação e uma possibilidade para o pequeno investidor investir em imóveis, com a perspectiva de recebimento de renda mensal sem tributação. Apesar de ser um investimento com características próprias, pesquisas internacionais mostram que a valorização das cotas dos FIIs sofre por vezes influência não só do resultado operacional dos fundos, mas também de fatores sistêmicos, entre eles a variação das bolsas de valores e a variação dos juros de mercado. Seguindo a linha de pesquisas internacionais, esta pesquisa teve como objetivo analisar, através da aplicação de regressões por mínimos quadrados ordinários, a influência do mercado de ações, dos juros de mercado e de fatores específicos a um segmento, na rentabilidade dos FIIs, sendo utilizada como amostra os fundos com negociação de suas cotas na BM&FBovespa. Em uma primeira análise, carteiras foram criadas para que fosse possível analisar o grau de influência dos fatores bolsa de valores e juros de mercado na rentabilidade destas carteiras. Na análise final, especificamente para os FIIs que investem em Shopping Center, buscou-se estudar qual a influência de fatores específicos deste mercado, no caso a variação do preço do aluguel e das vendas do varejo, sobre a rentabilidade das cotas de uma carteira criada somente com FIIs que investem neste tipo de ativo. Os resultados desta pesquisa sugerem uma influência significante da variação da bolsa de valores na análise de uma carteira geral de FIIs, porém, quando são analisadas carteiras compostas por FIIs com características específicas, esta influência diminui. No que se refere aos juros de mercado, a sua influência só se mostra significativa quando na análise de uma carteira geral de FIIs e, especificamente, em um período específico da análise. Para a carteira criada com FIIs que investem em Shopping Center, as variáveis bolsa de valores, juros e variação do aluguel tiveram resultado significante, sendo este último o mais representativo. Os resultados apresentados nesta pesquisa estão em linha com os apresentados nas primeiras pesquisas internacionais, principalmente para o mercado norte-americano, quando utilizaram um pequeno período de análise em um mercado em expansão. Pesquisas futuras com um maior período de análise e com a inclusão de outras variáveis, serão importantes para identificar possíveis alterações na influência dos fatores sistêmicos na rentabilidade dos FIIs. / The economic stability and capital market growth in Brazil in the last two decades resulted, among other things, in an increase in the number of transactions and amounts for a few investment products. One of these increasingly growing products is Real Estate Investment Trust (REITs), a product focused on the direct or indirect investment in real estate market. In Brazil, although the creation of this product is more closely linked to the need to raise funds from the developer or owner of the asset, when analyzing the investor\'s perspective, this investment serves as an option of diversification and is also a chance for the small investor to invest in real estate, with the perspective of receiving a non-taxable monthly income. Despite being an investment with specific characteristics, international surveys shows that appreciation of REITs quotas are not only influenced by market-specific factors, but also by systemic factors, including variation of stock exchanges and interest rates. Following the line of international researches, this study aimed to analyze, through application of ordinary least square regressions, the influence of stock market, market interest and segment-specific factors on REITs profitability, using as sample REITs funds negotiated in BM&FBovespa. In an initial analysis, various portfolios were created to analyze the influence of the stock exchange and interest rates in their profitability. The final analysis, specifically for REITs investing in Shopping Center, studied the influence of market-specific factors, i.e., rental fee and retail sales variation, on the profitability of portfolio created only with REITs investing in this type of asset. Research results suggest a significant influence of the stock exchange return in an overall REIT portfolio analysis; however, when creating specific REIT portfolios, this influence decreases in many created portfolios. Regarding interest rates, a significant influence is only shown when analyzing an overall REIT portfolio and specifically in a period when interest rates increase and REITs profitability decrease. For the portfolio created with REITs investing in Shopping Center, the variables stock exchange, interest rate and rent variation had significant results, the latter being the most representative. The results presented in this study are aligned with those presented in the first international researches, mainly for the US market, when a small period of analysis was tested in an expanding market. Future researches, with a longer period of analysis and new variables, will be important to identify possible changes in the influence of systemic factors on the profitability of REITs.

The purpose of this master&rsquo / s thesis is to evaluate the performance of investment companies, namely Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs) and Closed-End Funds (CEFs) in Turkey. In this study, three different models are used to evaluate the risk adjusted performances of Turkish investment companies. These models are: 1) the single-factor CAPM / 2) the Fama-French three-factor model / and 3) the Carhart&rsquo / s four factor model. The results of this study indicate that for the sample period from January 1997 to December 2009, Turkish REITs and Turkish CEFs neither overperform nor underperform the overall market. Intercepts in almost all models are statistically significantly not different from zero, implying that both REITs and CEFs are earning their expected returns. The results are robust to different models used in this study. Among employed models, the Fama-French three-factor model is the best in explaining the returns on both REITs and CEFs. In general, coefficients of the size and the book-to-market equity risk factors are significant and positive. The explanatory power of the regressions does not improve with the Carhart&rsquo / s four-factor model, since momentum factors have statistically insignificant coefficients in all regressions. Findings of this study have an important implication for the efficiency of the Istanbul Stock Exchange. The inability of professional money managers to beat the overall market could be taken as an evidence in favor of the ISE being either semi-strong or strong form efficient. On the other hand, lack of skills on the part of Turkish fund managers might be another explanation for their inability to surpass the performance of the overall market.

This study explores the policy implications of Real estate Investment Trusts on urban restructuring and attempts to uncover if monitoring and evaluating mechanisms are needed. This issue is relevant to South Africa for competing globally and domestically for real estate investment. Furthermore it is relevant to South Africa given the potential impact of unregulated property development and the implications for the poor. The study also investigates the implications of REIT investing over all types of property types and implications for spatial policy proposals / Thesis (M.Dev.Studies)-University of KwaZulu-Natal, Durban, 2009

本研究的主要目的在於引用學理上有關共同基金的績效評估模式，對投資 於國內證券市場的共同基金，分別在多頭與空頭市場下，進行績效評估， 並檢定有關的假說。其中，檢定這些共同基金在不同時期的績效表現是否 具有持續的性質，乃本研究最主要的假說檢定。此外，證管會決定開放新 的證券投資信託公司設立，新的競爭者加入經營，其對投信事業以及整個 證券市場在不久的將來所造成的衝擊，也是本研究欲嘗試加以窺探的主題 。本研究得到以下的結論：一?共同基金的績效表現，會隨著評估期間與 績效指標的不同而異。在多頭時期，以福爾摩莎與福元基金表現最好，國 民與中華基金表現最差；在空頭時期，以台灣與福元基金表現最好，光華 與鴻運基金則表現最差。二?績效指標的選擇，可用Sharpe及M.C.V.績效 指標評估共基金整體績效；以Fama模式的淨選擇能力及分散能力評基金的 分散能力和選股能力。三?國內基金的平均報酬率未優於市場投資組合平 均報酬率。四?開放型基金與封閉型基金的績效差異不顯著。五?四家舊 投信的投資績效差異不顯著。六?國內共同基金的績效表現，經由統計檢 定發現，在本研的前後期不具顯著的持續性。七?國內原有四家投信的投 資績效，經由統計檢定發現，前期不具顯著的持續性。八?新投信依照股 權結構區分為專業經營型?證券商主導型財團主導型。各種類型的新投信 有其優缺點，而各家投在專業人才?基金管理?促銷及投資策略上或有異 同。九?主管機關對開放投信設立採取自由競爭的態度。十?新投信開放 設立後將對證券市場及現有投信造成衝擊

自民國89年7月19日總統頒布修正證券交易法第18條之3，正式給予投信投顧業者從事全權委託業務一個正式的法源依據。之後，主管機關於民國89年10月9日配合證券投資信託及顧問法的施行，將全權委託業務的法源依據自「證券交易法」改訂於「證券投資信託及顧問法」，這在資產管理業務上具有相當重大的意義。截至民國99年3月止，國內全權委託契約數(含委任關係及信託關係)達1,161件、有效契約總額達新台幣6,602億元整，對我國資產管理業務及證券市場未來的成長及影響具有重大的意義。 本研究從經營全權委託的產業現況及運作流程，以分析全權委託之經營概況，並以法規規範為出發點，探討經營全權委託業務資格條件、從事全權委託業務之經理人及業務人員應具備資格條件及管理規則、全權委託投資業務有關委任投資金額限制相關規定、業務人員禁止行為、應有報告或通知義務等議題，為本文之研究架構。另外，為使雙方簽訂契約有效執行，本研究同時討論從事全委業務投資(委任)人和全權委託業者簽定全權委託契約時之應注意事項、全委契約管理費用收取及全權委託業務之建議。 除既定法規及契約約定外，本研究將以投資(委任)人對全權委託業者的選任標準及應注意事項、委任投資(委任)人可能面臨之風險，如投資與風險偏好及風險承受力、投資績效表現、代理問題、業界常見全權委託業務之缺失樣態等進行探討。歸納結論，(1)基金公司應執行風險控管以保障委任人權益，定期績效檢核與客觀的績效評比機制、投資風險控管機制、避免越權交易的發生、交易資訊控管、利益衝突防範、有效的投資決策流程，同時(2)投資人交易之申報與控管及專責部門的建立以處理全委投資行政業務等，以建全全權委託投資業務的執行。

South African property investment vehicles consist of collective investment schemes in property (CISPs), also known as property unit trusts (PUTs) and property loan stock (PLS) companies. The application of sections 25B(1), 11(s), 10(1)(k)(i)(aa) and 64B(5)(b) of the Income Tax Act 58 of 1962 (“the Act”) and paragraph 67A(1) of the Eighth Schedule to the Act result in these property investment vehicles being taxed based on their legal form, that of a trust versus a company, rather than on their common purpose. The South African Revenue Service recognised these inconsistencies in the 2007/8 budget tax proposals and proposed that it be reviewed. In December 2007, National Treasury released a discussion paper on the reform of the listed property investment sector in South Africa. The discussion paper is aimed at adopting a real estate investment trust (REIT) regime in South Africa to make South African property investment vehicles more attractive to foreign investors as well as to address the current tax inconsistencies and fragmented regulation of the South African listed real estate sector. In this study, the current inconsistent tax treatment of these property investment vehicles is reviewed, both as to how they apply to the property investment vehicle and to their respective investors. This study further reviews how REITs in selected other countries are regulated and taxed and National Treasury’s proposals as to how REITs applicable in South Africa should be regulated and taxed.

證券投資信託產業自民國八十一年開放信投信產業以來，由於每年之新基金設立數增加急速，致造成此市場之競爭更為激烈，又共同基金本身即具備國際化經營之特質，故思考在國際化環境下證券投信產業之競爭策略，並以司徒達賢之策略矩陣分析法作為分析之工具；同時以深度訪談之方式瞭解其國際化發展因素和成功關鍵因素。本研究發現其國際化之重要因素以獲取國外資源，提昇經營技術，和發揮綜效為主。

證券投資信託基金已是國人重要的理財主要工具之一。回顧我國證券投資信託基金發展的歷史，從早期為吸引外資投資我國而開放設立證券投資信託基金，接著也成為我國投資人重要之投資工具，到後來開放境外基金得以在國內顧問，境外商品就此開始深受國人喜愛；直至證券投資信託及顧問法通過，主管機關依授權訂定境外基金管理辦法後，國人得投資經由總代理人依法向主管機關申請核准或申報生效在我國境內募集銷售之境外基金，也開啟了境外基金與證券投資信託基金於國內銷售既競爭又合作之關係。 境外基金與證券投資信託基金於國內銷售之競爭合作的關係，不僅在產品創新及銷售金額等方面，本文所關切的是，在境外基金管理辦法公佈實施後，我國證券投資信託基金相關法規發生了什麼變化？有無任何規定是因為境外基金管理辦法實施後，證券投資信託基金相關法規不得不隨之調整者？還有，有無任何境外基金的規範進而影響我國既有之規定？當然，是否也有境外基金業者因為境外基金管理辦法的實施，必須調整其基金的運作與內控制度，以符合我國之法令規定？甚至，有無任何境外基金註冊地，為配合我國市場及法制環境，而更改其法令者？ 本文之研究係以比較我國證券投資信託基金相關規範，與境外基金管理辦法暨我國境外基金主要註冊地之法源，尋找彼此規範不同處，了解其為何規範不同的理由與背景，探討規範不同點之存在理由合理否，進而探詢彼此間之衡平性，以作為提供我國基金產業法律發展之參考資料。 最後結論除回覆前述問題並舉例說明外，並嘗試歸納本文之研究結果，對證券投資信託基金與境外基金之法制規範差異性比較，採見解扼要衡平重申外，並期對我國基金產業之整體發展提供建言。 / The securities investment trust fund is one of the important financial investment vehicles in Taiwan. Looking back on the history of Taiwan fund industry development, from the early days of fund launch to attract foreign investments to these modern days that funds become important investment tools for the investors. Soon later the offshore funds were open to the domestic consultants, they began to be a favored investment product for many investors. After the Securities Investment Trust and Consulting Act takes effect, the regulator prescribed the Regulations Governing Offshore Funds. The local investors may invest in the offshore funds that have obtained authorizations from the regulator, which contribute to not only the competition but also cooperation by and between the offshore funds and the securities investment trust funds in Taiwan. The competition/cooperation between the offshore funds and the securities investment trust funds can be seen at not only the product innovation or domestic sales. More importantly, this thesis concerns more on what are the regulatory initiatives that have been taken for the securities investment trust funds due to the promulgation of the Regulations Governing Offshore Funds. Are there any requirements of the securities investment trust funds that will need adjustments or amendments after the implementation of Regulations Governing Offshore Funds? Also, what are the impacts on the current rules and regulations after the birth of offshore fund regulations? Of course, will the offshore funds managers need to adjust their operation and internal control system to be in compliance with the laws and regulations in Taiwan? Will any offshore funds domicile jurisdiction change their respective laws in order to meet the requirements set fort by the market and legal environment in Taiwan? This thesis uses a comparative study of the related laws of the securities investment trust funds and the Regulations Governing Offshore Funds as well as the directives of UCITS, the original law of most of the offshore funds. To realize what is the specification of their difference and to explore the rationality of their difference. Moreover, to seek the balance of inquires among them, so as to contribute to the fund industry in Taiwan as the reference for legal development. Finally, the thesis tries to summarize the results of this study in addition to replying to the above questions with some examples. After the comparison of the legal systems between the related laws of securities investment trust funds and that of offshore funds, this thesis briefly reiterates the opinion of the balancing and provides concrete and workable suggestions to further the development of the fund industry in Taiwan.

Finanças comportamentais utilizam a psicologia para estudar o comportamento financeiro dos agentes. O comportamento manada, subtópico de finanças comportamentais analisado neste trabalho, pode ser definido como o movimento sincronizado dos preços dos ativos em uma forma exuberante e irracional que não é justificado pelos fundamentos. Tal questão é pertinente porque finanças comportamentais vai contra as premissas da economia neo-clássica, pilares para a Moderna Teoria de Finanças, das quais as mais relevantes são que os investidores são racionais e tomam decisões de forma independente. O objetivo deste estudo foi investigar a existência do comportamento manada em FIIs no Brasil. Para isso, o trabalho adotou uma abordagem quantitativa, através do modelo proposto por Chang et al. (2000), baseada em pesquisa de levantamento de banco de dados disponível no software Economatica dos retornos diários dos FIIs brasileiros. Adicionalmente, o trabalho também investigou se a existência do comportamento manada é influenciada pela utilização de outros indicadores de retorno de mercado, além do retorno médio transversal proposto por Chang et al. (2000), e pela separação da amostra em dias de alta e queda do retorno. O entendimento da dinâmica desta reação é importante para mapear o comportamento dos investidores em diferentes condições de mercado. Diferente das suposições que se encontraria o comportamento manada em mercados emergentes e em produtos onde os investidores são predominantemente pessoas físicas, os resultados deste trabalho apontam para a inexistência de comportamento manada no mercado brasileiro de FIIs. / The subject of this study is the application of behavioral finance on the Brazilian Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs). Behavioral finance uses psychology to study the financial behavioral of the agents. Herding effect, a subtopic of behavioral finance analyzed in this study, can be defined as an exuberant and irrational synchronized movement of asset prices which is not justified by their fundamental values. This subject is pertinent because behavioral finance defies neoclassical economics assumptions, keystones for Modern Financial Theory, of which the most relevant are that investors are rational and make decisions independently. The purpose of this study was to investigate the existence of herding effect in the Brazilian REITs. The study adopted a quantitative approach, using the model proposed by Chang et al. (2000), based on daily returns of Brazilian REITs available on the software Economatica. Additionally, the study also investigated if the existence of herding effect is influenced by using other market return indexes, other than the cross-sectional average return proposed by Chang et al. (2000), and by separating the data in days of positive and negative return. Understanding the dynamics of this reaction is important to trace the investors’ behavior under different market conditions. Contrary to the assumptions that herding effect would be found in emerging markets and in investments in which investors are mainly individuals, the results of this study indicate the absence of herding effect in the Brazilian REITs market.
