月末效应(Turn of the Month Effect),即在月末期间股票回报较高的现象,仍是学术界的一个谜团。这种现象在小盘股、大盘股等不同类型的股票中都普遍存在,不仅限于年末或季度末的交易期,且全球30个市场都观察到了这一模式。这挑战了该效应来源于风险提升或利率变化的理论。Ogden(1990)曾提出这一现象可能与收入分配的时间点有关,投资者在月底将资金投入市场,推高了股价,但这一理论受到了质疑。McConnell和Xu的研究表明,这种异常现象没有明确的解释。一些学者认为,该现象与月度养老金资金流动以及交易模型的重新平衡有关,可能会放大这一效应。然而,采用这一策略需要谨慎,因为日历效应可能会随着时间的推移而减弱或出现不可预测的变化。
