  • Description: Using data from Morningstar, we analyze holdings turnover and its relationship to gross returns within the main equity categories of actively-managed US-domiciled mutual funds from 1991 to 2020.We find turnover to be highly positive skewed and also highly persistent across years. However, we find no reliable relationship between fund turnover and any of prior-year, same-year or next-year gross annual returns. What appears to be a slight negative relationship between current turnover and prior returns is inconsistent across the four different categories and across decades, and any other relationships between turnover and returns are similarly not borne out consistently across the various categories or time. Over this period, high turnover does not hurt fund performance. Nor, however, does it enhance performance
