Abstract
Informed trading is that insiders use their own proprietary information (private information) to trade stocks based on asymmetric information in the market and use the price difference to profit. This paper studies the relationship between investment behavior of open funds and the performance of funds in China market. Using the measurement of the probability of informed trading in Easley et al. (1996). The empirical test shows that there is a significant negative relation between the open funds’ PIN and the performance. This result means that the participation in informed trading of open funds can’t increase their performance.
