Abstract
This paper investigates whether signals from changes in investors’ portfolio concentrations can be used to enhance the performance of value and value/quality stock portfolios. Using data on all the more than 1.3 million investor portfolios participating in the Finnish stock market, I find that increases in average shareholder portfolio concentration, a signal of investor confidence, can be used to improve the performance of value portfolios and portfolios selected based on value and quality signals. The results indicate that shareholder portfolio concentration can be used as an additional signal to improve the performance of value-oriented investing strategies.
