报告摘要：
Mutual fund flows generate substantial price impact, amplify fragility, and trigger fire sales. We document a stark contrast for separate accounts—the dominant institutional investment vehicle:their flows generate essentially no price impact, fragility, or fire-sale risk. This pattern holds within mutual fund-separate account twins managed under identical strategies and is not driven by liquidity conditions at the time flows occur. Using trade-level data from a major transition manager, we show that specialized execution intermediaries significantly reduce trading costs and dampen price dislocations. Our findings reveal large heterogeneity in how investor demand transmits to prices-not all flows are equally price-moving.
