Abstract
⺠Risk mean reversion confounds examination of fund tournament behavior. ⺠We develop a method to determine if mutual fund trades intentionally change risk. ⺠We find funds mostly trade to reduce risk, especially tracking error variance. ⺠Intended changes to risk are unrelated to past mutual fund performance.
