Abstract: The purpose of this research is to study the factors that influence portfolio turnover in equity mutual funds in Chile. The main result of this research indicates that turnover is related to a combination of variables associated with efficiency, and with behavioral and agency problem hypotheses. In addition, negative effects of turnover are observed on the returns from the funds; positive effects are observed on portfolio liquidity. This study should be of interest to policymakers who regulate and monitor the delegated portfolio management industry in developing countries, as well as individual and institutionalinvestors concerned about the efficiency and performance of their investments.
