This paper from the view of fund manager's personal characteristics with the purpose how to choose and management of the fund manager of Fund company to do a deepening research of the phenomenon of China's fund industry herd behavior. In the financial markets,Herding happens everywhere. It is generally accepted that small investors herd much because of a lack of information and correlative professional knowledge.

By using the complete data of holding position through 2008 to 2010 and adopting the Shi donghui's conception of herding(2001),this paper finds a significant level of open-end fund's herding in China stock markets, the herding acts of the Fund Samples decrease as the increasing number of fund in simultaneously transacting a single stock and However, no evidence supporting herding varies with time is found.For more details in the determinants of herding, the herding measure for each fund in each half year is calculated on a weighted-average basis, and further regressed against fund managers'characteristics. Regressions support that fund managers'ages, the term in the same fund management company, the number of managing Fund of funds Manager significantly impact their herding behaviors.Also, on the basis of the results of herding acts, this paper used comprehensive evaluation indicators of Fund performance, including traditional index of Sharpe, units assets value, and units net earnings as explained variable with empirical analysis of herding behavior to analysis whether Fund Manager take flock behavior can make better performance and the behavior of herding itself is a rational investment behavior?
