Abstract

This study investigates the effect of collective holding by the largest mutual fund management company in acquiring companies on acquirers' post-event valuation. We find that total holdings by mutual funds is not a superior proxy to predict the acquiring firms' post-event valuation; however, the collective holding by the largest mutual fund management company in acquiring firms is significantly positively related to the valuation of acquiring firms.
