Resumo: We conduct an analysis of Exchange-traded Funds (ETFs), Index and Equity mutual funds and their respective benchmark during the 2010-2015 period for the Portuguese fund industry. For the period 2010-2017, we test ETFs for price inefficiency (existence of deviations between prices and the Net Asset Value) and persistence. We find that the studied ETF does not always outperform index funds in replicating the variations of the PSI 20 index, despite exhibiting better tracking ability when facing downside deviations of the benchmark and a better capacity of smoothing tracking deviations. Regarding ETFs price efficiency and its persistence, the study reveals that the examined ETF is priced at a low average discount with evidence of deviations persistence of at least two days. The investment schemes with the highest ability to track the PSI 20 Index were PSI20 (ETF), BBVA PPA Índice PSI20, and the equity mutual fund BPI Portugal.

Para o período 2010-2017 foi testada a ineficiência de preço para os ETFs (existência de desvios entre os preços de negociação e o valor intrínseco da unidade de participação) e a sua persistência. Concluiu-se que o ETF analisado nem sempre supera os fundos de investimento mobiliários de índice na replicação das variações do Índice PSI 20, não obstante exibir uma melhor capacidade de replicação das variações negativas do benchmark e uma melhor capacidade de alisar os desvios da replicação. Em relação à eficiência de preços dos ETFs e à sua persistência, o estudo revela que os preços do ETF examinado apresentam um valor médio inferior (embora baixo) face seu valor intrínseco, com evidência de persistência de desvios de pelo menos dois dias. Os organismos de investimento analisados com maior capacidade de acompanhar o Índice PSI 20 foram o PSI20 (ETF), o BBVA PPA Índice PSI20 e o fundo de investimento mobiliário de acções BPI Portugal.Faculdade de Economia - Universidade de CoimbraRepositório da Universidade de LisboaAfonso, AntónioCardoso, Pedro2022-09-15T11:01:31Z20192019-01-01T00:00:00Zinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/articleapplication/pdfhttp://hdl.handle.net/10400.5/25507engAfonso, António and Pedro Cardoso.
