Abstract

[fre] Le développement de la gestion institutionnelle pose deux questions liées au comportement des gérants. La première est celle de son influence sur la volatilité des marchés financiers. La deuxième porte sur l’efficacité des gérants au regard de l’intérêt de leurs clients. Étant données les asymétries d’information, il existe là un problème «d’agence» classique qui fait l’objet de cet article. Dans un premier temps, l’auteur présente les différentes mesures de performance des OPCVM. Puis il tente de cerner les incitations fournies aux gérants de fonds par leur hiérarchie. Enfin, il décrit des résultats empiriques portant sur le comportement et les performances des gérants. . Classification JEL : G23, G30, D82 . . . [eng] Incentives and Performances of Institutional Investors . The development of institutional investors raise two questions concerning institutional managers behaviour. The first question is the impact on the financial markets volatility. The second deals with adequacy between the managers’ performances and the interest of the savers. This article deals with this second question focused on asymmetric information and agency problems. The author explains the performance’s measures of institutional investors, managers incentives and describes empirical studies. . JEL classifications : G23, G30, D82
