An Examination of Institutional Dividend Clienteles: Evidence from Australian Institutional Portfolio Holdings
Aelee Jun University of Wollongong - Faculty of Commerce - School of Accounting and Finance David R. Gallagher University of Technology, Sydney - Faculty of Business Graham Partington University of Sydney - School of Business - Finance Discipline June 2006 Abstract: Shareholdings for a sample of forty-nine Australian institutional equity funds show that dividend policy affects institutional holdings. Institutions tend to hold stocks that pay dividends, but among dividend-paying stocks there is no simple preference for stocks with either the highest or lowest dividend yields or dividend payout ratios. We also investigate whether dividend franking status affects institutional ownership. Institutions tend to have a higher ownership in stocks which carry full imputation tax credits compared to stocks which have partial, or zero imputation tax credits.
