伦敦国王学院Mingzhu Wang副教授应邀于2018年8月24日在主楼216会议室作了题为“Two Research Projects on Mutual Funds ”的学术报告。

　　Mingzhu Wang副教授从投资基金的发展讲起，介绍了当前世界范围内投资基金的基本概况和特点，详细介绍了她的两篇关于投资基金研究的工作论文，并回答了在场师生提出的问题。

　　她的第一篇工作论文主要探讨了投资基金的股东方性质及国别在IPO阶段是否发挥了更好的价值发现作用。她通过分析我国资本市场中IPO公司一年之内的长期持有超额回报等指标，发现非国有背景的投资基金在挑选IPO对象时更能选择到高回报的公司，投资基金中如果有来自英美等国家的股东也会挑选到更高回报的IPO公司。她的第二篇工作论文采用多国数据讨论了外部信用环境对投资基金可持续投资行为的影响。如果投资所在国的信用环境更好，那么投资基金投资于可持续发展得分高的公司的倾向性越强。这两篇工作论文关注了投资基金研究领域的热点和前沿问题，对于从事相关领域研究的老师和同学们都非常有启发。
