Abstract

This chapter purports to provide a theoretical underpinning for the problem of the Investment Company Act. The theory of the Le Chatelier principle is well known in thermodynamics. The system tends to adjust itself to a new equilibrium as far as possible. In capital market equilibrium, added constraints on portfolio investment in each stock can lead to inefficiency manifested in the right-shifting efficiency frontier. According to the empirical study, the potential loss can amount to millions of dollars coupled with a higher risk-free rate and greater transaction and information costs.
