Monthly Webinar Series 2021:
Capital Market Development: China and Asia
10:00 am – 11:10 am, Thursday (Beijing-Singapore Time)
10:00 pm, Wednesday (US Time / Eastern Time)
Using trading and holdings data from the Shanghai Stock Exchange from 2016 to 2019, the authors examine retail investor’s trading behaviors in Chinese stock market. The authors separate tens of millions of retail investors into five groups by their account sizes and document strong heterogeneity in their trading dynamics and performances. Retail investors with smaller account sizes pursue momentum trading strategies, buy future losers while sell future winners, fail to process public news. In sharp contrast, retail investors with larger account balances follow contrarian strategies, buy and sell stocks in directions consistent with future price movements, incorporate public news in their trading. These patterns are stronger for young male retail investors.
