Sumario: The goal of this paper is to determine the effect of the Chilean Pension Fund Administrator (PFA) ownership in to the dividend policy of the firms where they invest, through a panel data analysis. The results show a positive linear and no linear relationship between the PFA and the dividend policy, measured by the dividend yield. Also, it is found a selection bias in this relationship, indicating that PFA’s prefer to invest in firms with higher dividends, implying that the AFP’s behave as prudent investor and support the institutional herding hypothesis.
