Mutual funds dwell in a small market in Nepal. Around seven mutual funds listed in the Nepal stock exchange trade (NEPSE). This paper focused on evaluating the performance of five mutual funds of NEPSE on the basis of monthly returns compared to benchmark return. Risk adjusted performance measures suggested by Jenson, Treynor, Sharpe and statistical models are employed. It is found that, most of the mutual funds have performed better according to Jenson and Treynor measures but not up to the benchmark on the basis of Sharpe ratio. However, few mutual funds are well diversified and have reduced its unique risk.  Journal of Advanced Academic Research Vol. 3, No. 2, 2016, Page: 92-100

The research method used in this research is descriptive method with quantitative approach. The object of this study using all mutual fund shares listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange period 2013-2016. The technique of determining the sample using purposive sampling method so that 66 mutual funds were chosen as research sample. The results of this study explain that there are differences in the results of the performance of stock mutual funds using sharpe method and treynor method on mutual fund shares listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (BEI) where each performance value fluctuates in the period 20132016. The results show that only a few stock mutual funds are above market performance by using sharpe method and treynor method during the period 2013-2016. The results show that only one stock mutual fund that has consistent performance above market performance during the period 2013-2016 using the sharpe method of equity fund Sam Equity Fund.

Mutual Funds through its professional managers enable small investors to enjoy benefits of capital market with small amount. This study with special focus on Pakistani Mutual Fund industry, tests the suitability of traditional measures and multifactor, asset pricing models on the Mutual Fund performance. Owing to rareness of the applicability of the multifactor models in comparison to traditional measures, in evaluating Mutual Fund performance in modern day Pakistani research, the study uses CAPM, Fama French, Carhart models in the performance evaluation of Pakistan Mutual Fund. The data of 100 open-end Mutual Funds, for the period 2005 to 2017 was collected from Mutual Fund Association of Pakistan; while the risk free rates data was collected from State Bank of Pakistan and Stock data from Pakistan Stock Exchange for predicting the results, Ratio analysis, CAPM, Fama French-3 Factor and Carhart-4 factor model were used to understand its suitability. The results demonstrated that application of CAPM, affect market factors of majority of the portfolios.Where as in other two models (Fama French, Carhart) the majority of the portfolios are insignificantly affected by the size factor, value factor and Momentum factor. The Gibbon Rose Shanken unveils the suitability of the best model and justify CAPM as the better model among the three competing models in evaluate on theMutual Fund performance in Pakistan. The study has certain implications for the managers of assets management companies as well as useful for the investors in knowing which funds perform better and which kind of funds are ideal for investment.

Over the last decade, Lithuania has witnessed a growing interest in investment promoted by the need to successfully manage available funds. Direct investments (e. g. buying and selling stocks) require a specific knowledge of investment instruments. Therefore, an ordinary investor finds investment in mutual funds easier and cheaper. Usually the most important questions to the investor include measuring the results of a fund and the quality of the actions performed by the fund managers. The article evaluates the rates of mutual fund performance and identifies their shortages. The methods for evaluating investment return according to the level of risk and timing ability of the fund managers are presented using the Sharpe ratio and Treynor-Mazuy model on the basis of which mutual funds in Lithuania are analyzed. Santrauka Paskutinįjį dešimtmetį Lietuvoje pastebimas žmonių susidomėjimo investavimu augimas – tai skatina poreikis sėkmingai „įdarbinti“ turimas laisvas lėšas. Investuoti tiesiogiai (perkant atskirų įmonių akcijas ir pan.) daug kam yra pernelyg sudėtinga (reikia specialių žinių apie įvairius investavimo objektus, gilios rinkos analizės), be to, dažnai tiesiogiai investuoti yra gana brangu, todėl ne vienas žmogus pasirenka sprendimą – investuoti į fondus. Fondų dalyviams aktualiausia, kaip tinkamai vertinti fondų rezultatus. Straipsnyje identifikuojami investicinių fondų valdymo įmonių naudojami veiklos vertinimo rodikliai bei jų trūkumai. Pateikiamas investicinių fondų veiklos vertinimo, atsižvelgiant į riziką ir savalaikiškumą, metodas naudojant Šarpo bei Treynoro ir Mazuy rodiklius. Remiantis rodikliais atlikta Lietuvos investicinių fondų grąžos bei fondų valdytojų efektyvumo analizė.

The data analysis method used is the Jensen Index, Sharpe index, Treynor Index, MM Index, and TT Index methods and uses the t-test to see whether there are differences in mutual fund performance. The results of this study conclude that quantitatively there is no difference in mutual fund performance between sharia mutual funds and conventional mutual funds.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to investigate the impact of investor confidence on mutual fund performance in two relatively vulnerable but leading emerging markets, India and Pakistan. Design/methodology/approach A pooled ordinary least squared (OLS) model is used to look at two alternative measures of investor confidence and test for the relationship between investor confidence and mutual fund returns. To check the robustness of the findings, the authors also implement two-stage least squares and generalized method of moments techniques to control for unobserved heterogeneity, simultaneity and dynamic endogeneity problems in the regressors. Findings The paper finds that the returns of mutual funds are positively associated with investor confidence and an interaction effect exists between investor confidence and persistence in performance. The paper also confirms that returns from mutual funds are associated with different fund characteristics such as fund size, turnover, expense, liquidity, performance persistence and the fund’s age. These findings remain robust to alternative model specifications and measures of investor confidence. Originality/value While the previous literature mainly focuses on mutual fund characteristics and the macroeconomic determinants of mutual fund returns, this paper demonstrates that investor confidence plays an important role in determining mutual fund performance. The authors attribute this finding to two relatively unique features of the emerging markets in the study. A lack of awareness of mutual funds as being a low-cost investment vehicle and the interplay of cultural and behavioral changes have prevented investor’s savings from being channeled into investment products, away from gold or property.
