摘要
We examine how institutional investors trade stocks with high research and development (R&D) expenses and investigate whether they can detect value-relevant R&D. We document significant differences be-tween hedge funds and other institutional investors in their trading in high R&D stocks. We find that hedge funds (other institutional investors) invest more (less) in high R&D stocks compared to all other stocks. Moreover, hedge funds exhibit strong stock-picking ability in high R&D stocks, and hedge funds with larger allocations to high R&D stocks generate higher future fund returns. Our findings suggest that hedge funds have superior skill in identifying value-relevant R&D. (c) 2021 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
