Implementation of Sharia Business Governance Principles on Regulation of Investment Manager Governance

Investment Manager (MI) as a sharia mutual fund manager is done in two ways are the establishment of Sharia MI and Sharia Investment Management Unit (UPIS) for conventional MI. Most of conventional MI is not ready to spin off to become a Sharia MI because it is considered the current governance of MI is still low. OJK issued regulation No. 10/POJK.04/2018 on the Implementation of Investment Manager Governance that applies to both. However, the arrangement is still general and has not led to sharia governance system, while Indonesia has good governance guidelines for Sharia Business Governance (GGBS) that can be used as a reference standard. Based on these issues, the author reviewed the principles of GGBS to the extent of their implementation in the regulation of investment manager governance. This research is normative juridical with an analytical descriptive approach. Based on the results of the study the authors found that the governance arrangements of investment managers have not been sufficiently the basis for the implementation of sharia governance because principle of Independence has not been implemented for the ban on multiple positions for the Sharia Supervisory Board and spin off mechanisms for UPIS.

New Evidence on Mutual Fund Performance: A Comparison of Alternative Bootstrap Methods

We compare two bootstrap methods for assessing mutual fund performance. The first produces narrow confidence intervals due to pooling over time, whereas the second produces wider confidence intervals because it preserves the cross correlation of fund returns. We then show that the average U.K. equity mutual fund manager is unable to deliver outperformance net of fees under either bootstrap. Gross of fees, 95% of fund managers on the basis of the first bootstrap and all fund managers on the basis of the second bootstrap fail to outperform the luck distribution of gross returns.

Pedigree vs. Grit: Predicting Mutual Fund Manager Performance

An asset management company must replace the manager of its two signature mutual funds, who is about to retire. Two candidates have been short-listed. The management team is divided and cannot decide which of the two candidates would make the better mutual fund manager. The retiring manager presents a linear regression model to examine success factors of mutual fund managers. This linear regression is the starting point for the subsequent analysis.Application of linear regression analysis to analyze the performance of mutual fund managers.
