Note(s): The table above presents the average abnormal performance of equally-weighted (Panel A) and value-weighted (Panel B) positive and negative stock-selection timing funds over the subsequent 6, 12, 18, and 24 months by using the performance model in Eq. (4) (FF6). At the end of each month, funds are classified as positive or negative timers according to the Newey-West t-statistics of their stock-selection timing coefficients. The timing test is performed using the regression in Eq. (2). The cutoff values used for t-statistics are ± 1.96. The spreads in performance between positive and negative timers, along with the associated Newey-West t-statistics, are also included. The turbulent period is from January 1, 2020, to December 31, 2024
