Abstract: This article analyses the trading activity of Taiwanese open-end equity mutual fund herding behaviour over the period of 1996--2008. We found evidence of both directional and directionless herding. We also found that sell-side fund herding leads to price stabilization, whereas buy-side herding results in prices adjusting slowly. We found that the abolition of qualified foreign institutional investor (QFII) has reduced directionless and sell-side herding but has had no effect on buy-side herding.
