We empirically investigate the effect of the centrality of mutual funds (MFs) on the holding network of each listed firm in cross-province acquisitions in China using a unique dataset covering the 2010-2019 period. We find a positive association between the centrality of MFs and the likelihood and value of cross-province acquisitions made by the listed firm, especially when the central blockholder MF pays corporate site visits, when target firms are difficult for the acquirer to reach, and when the central blockholder MF is low-risk or high-performance. We also show that blockholder centrality improves the market valuation and post-acquisition performance of cross-province acquisitions. These results support the notion that a MF with the largest blockholder centrality increases the value of the listed firms it owns by alleviating information asymmetry in cross-province acquisitions. Collectively, our evidence highlights the advisory role of a blockholder network for listed firms.
