Summary:
In this paper, we propose a predictor, Abnormal Holding Ratio (AHR), to measure abnormal shares holding of northbound investors through China Stock Connect Mechanism, to explain the cross-sectional returns in the China’s A-share stocks listed on Connect Mechanism. Firms receiving the high AHR generate substantially higher future returns than those with the low AHR. The predictability of AHR is robust after controlling for size, book-to- market ratio and some other famous asset pricing factors. Moreover, AHR is positively related to the firms’ fundamentals, especially profitability.
