Abstract: Recent studies have shown that investors prefer stocks with lottery features (lottery preferences hereafter), which have relatively low expected returns but a small chance of huge pay-offs. However, most studies in this field focus on individual investors, assuming that institutional investors are rational and professional market participants and do not gamble in the market.

Key words: lottery-like stocks; mutual funds; fund manager characteristics; investor sentiment; skewness
