Abstract:   We investigate the tournament induced risk-shifting behavior of Australian superannuation funds, allowing for non-linearities. We apply a regression-based methodology and examine tournaments based on the calendar year and the financial year. We characterize a small set of non-linear tournament outcomes and find mixed evidence across these different cases.
