Abstract
We provide the first comprehensive analysis of the flow-performance relation in Colombian open-end investment funds. We employ a rich dataset containing weekly information at the fund level, including balance sheets, portfolio holdings, liquidity indicators, capital flows, and returns, from January 2018 to December 2023. By analyzing fixed and variable-income funds separately, our empirical findings indicate that performance is relevant for the sensitivity of flows only in fixed-income funds. For these, outflows are more sensitive to poor performance than inflows to good performance. However, macro-financial variables significantly influence investing decisions for both fixed and variable-income funds. *****RESUMEN: Este documento presenta el primer análisis de la relación entre los aportes netos de capital (aportes menos retiros) y la rentabilidad en los fondos de inversión colectiva abiertos sin pacto de permanencia en Colombia. Utilizamos un conjunto de datos detallado que contiene información semanal a nivel de fondo, incluyendo balances, composición del portafolio de inversiones, aportes y retiros de capital, indicadores de liquidez y rentabilidad, desde enero de 2018 hasta diciembre de 2023. Analizamos por separado los fondos que invierten principalmente en renta fija y en renta variable. Encontramos una alta sensibilidad de los aportes netos a la rentabilidad únicamente en los fondos de renta fija. En estos, las rentabilidades negativas se asocian con una fuerte caída en los aportes netos, posiblemente explicada por un aumento en los retiros de capital. No obstante, las variables macrofinancieras parecen influir de manera significativa en las decisiones de aportar o retirar capital tanto en fondos de renta fija como de renta variable.
