Abstract: This article focuses on investor sentiment and its relationships to stock returns and volatility in the Chinese stock market. By using mutual fund flows as a substitute for investor sentiment for different stocks, this study finds that investor sentiment has a tremendous impact on stock returns in the Chinese stock market. However, some of our results are inconsistent with previous research. Since the Chinese stock market is still an emerging capital market, one explanation for the inconsistency is that investor sentiment has comparatively stronger impact on stock returns in China.
