The responsiveness of the market financial instruments in terms of prices to reflect market information and the inability of information privileged market participant(s) to out-perform other counterparts pose the quest to test whether the strong form of market efficiency prevail in the Nigerian capital market or not. With the extraction of the returns on 240 stocks from the database of the Nigerian Stock Exchange (NSE), a comparison was made between a constructed random portfolio and a 3-year annualized average return on the portfolios of the mutual fund industry. In this empirical study, the analysis deduced that mutual funds were unable to out-perform the random portfolios created from the index stocks, which thus implies that the strong form of market efficiency holds in the Nigerian Capital Market. Nonetheless, profound analysis on stock volatility risk is essential to avoid substantial loss in the stock market.

This paper analyses the strong-form efficiency of the capital market in Jordan by evaluating the performance of mutual funds over the period from 2011 to 2016, and compare it with the situation in Saudi Arabia using the Jensen modelling techniques. These tests were applied on monthly data. Results from the study show that there is no evidence of the strong-form of efficiency in either the Amman Stock Exchange or in the Saudi Arabia capital market. Therefore, investors in the Amman Stock Exchange and Saudi Arabia capital market cannot predict stocks prices or returns in the short term; with regard to firms, it suggests that the securities of firms cannot outperform the market and present market price is to a certain extent a true reflection of the present situation of their securities, in addition there is lack number availability of the mutual funds in Jordan.

In this article the semi-strong form of share market efficiency over the period 1978 to 1992 is considered, particularly with regard to information about changes in the money supply. To ensure a rigorous test of market efficiency, monetary growth has been decomposed, into anticipated and unanticipated elements. The All Share Index of the Johannesburg Stock Exchange is regressed against the monetary variables. The test results indicate that lagged changes in anticipated monetary growth are significant in explaining changes in share prices, a finding contrary to the efficient market hypothesis. However, the low coefficients of determination indicate that only a small percentage of the variation in share prices is explained by ex post changes in money supply and consequently the potential for a trading rule to earn superior returns to the market is limited.

<p><em>The Capital Market Law, which carries with it the trust institutions, contains provisions regarding collective investment contract mutual funds (RD KIK) that produce securities in the form of participation units, which are traded on the stock exchange. In RD KIK, there is a trust relationship between the unit holder of the custodian bank and the investment manager. The legal relationship in the concept of collective RD KIK is similar to what happens in trusts. In the Anglo-Saxon legal tradition, mutual funds are often referred to as unit trusts and/or investment trusts, where the sponsor acts as a settlor who hands over his assets to the trustee, the sponsor acts as the settlor in the trusts as well as the unit holder in a collective investment contract mutual fund. In connection with these problems, normative legal research is carried out using a statute approach, a conceptual approach and a comparative approach. The method used in analyzing this research is qualitative analysis. So, it can be seen that the role of the custodian bank and investment manager acts as a trustee, where the custodian bank is given the authority to carry out collective custody of the assets of the joint investment contract unit holder. The investment manager is given the power to manage or control the assets submitted by the sponsor or settlor in the concept of trusts law. Thus, it can be said that the RD KIK concept is similar to the idea of trusts because it fulfills the elements of trusts.</em></p><p><strong>Bahasa Indonesia Abstrak: </strong>Undang-Undang Pasar Modal yang membawa serta pranata <em>trust</em> di dalamnya terdapat ketentuan mengenai reksa dana kontrak investasi kolektif (RD KIK) yang melahirkan efek dalam bentuk unit penyertaan, yang diperdagangkan di bursa efek. Dalam RD KIK, terdapat hubungan kepercayaan antara pemegang unit penyertaan terhadap bank kustodian dan manajer investasi. Hubungan hukum dalam konsep RD KIK kolektif ini mirip yang terjadi dalam <em>trusts</em>. Dalam tradisi hukum Anglo Saxon, reksa dana sering kali disebut dengan <em>unit trusts</em> dan atau <em>investment trust</em>, yaitu sponsor bertindak sebagai settlor yang menyerahkan harta kebendaanya kepada <em>trustee</em>, sponsor sebagai <em>settlor</em> dalam <em>trusts</em> sama halnya dengan pemegang unit penyertaan dalam reksa dana kontrak investasi kolektif. Sehubungan dengan permasalahan tersebut, dengan ini dilakukan penelitian hukum normatif dengan menggunakan pendekatan undang-undang, pendekatan konseptual dan pendekatan perbandingan. Cara yang digunakan dalam menganalisis penelitian ini yakni analisis kualitatif. Maka dapat dilihat bahwa peran bank kustodian dan manajer investasi bertindak sebagai <em>trustee</em>, di mana bank kustodian diberi wewenang untuk melaksanakan penitipan kolektif terhadap harta pemegang unit kontrak investasi kolektif dan manajer investasi diberi wewenang untuk melakukan pengelolaan atau penguasaan terhadap harta yang diserahkan oleh sponsor atau settlor dalam konsep hukum <em>trusts</em>. Dengan demikian, dapat dikatakan bahwa konsep RD KIK mirip dengan konsep <em>trusts</em> karena telah memenuhi unsur-unsur <em>trusts</em>.</p><p><strong>Kata Kunci: Reksa Dana Kontrak Investasi Kolektif, <em>Trusts</em></strong></p>
