Applied Financial Economics, 2014, vol. 24, issue 16, 1103-1110

Abstract: The study documents the clustering of annual general meetings (AGMs) in the months of March, April and May and shows that this clustering of AGMs in dates is positively related to average monthly stock returns in these months. The study not only documents a 'new anomaly' in the stock market in the recent two decades, but also provides explanations why it is so. The study shows that an economic event is behind the regularity in stock returns.
