Abstract
This article examines fund manager skill using a sample of real estate investment trust unit investment trusts (REIT UITs). Since REIT UITs are limited to a single industry and since the fund managers do not trade, REIT UITs present an ideal sample to study fund manager stock-selection skill. Using a hand-collected sample of REIT UITs from May 2009 to July 2015, this study finds that REIT UITs do not deliver a statistically significant positive alpha. This is the first article to investigate fund manager stock-selection skill in REIT UITs and contributes to the literature evaluating the effectiveness of active fund management.
