آیا تجارت فردی در تخفیف سهام ترجیح داده می شود؟

Individuals have long been blamed for noise trader risk. Moreover, the literature suggests that the discount of preferred shares against comparable common equities is due to dual-class differences in dividend yield, voting rights, management control, and turnover. In this paper, we argue and present evidence that noise trader risk, as proxied by the individual trading weight, explains the preferred stock discount observed in the Korean stock market after controlling for the conventional determinants. This main result and additional considerations empirically support the presence of noise trader risk.
