Evaluating Mutual Fund Performance
We study standard mutual fund performance measures, using simulated funds whose characteristics mimic actual funds. We find that performance measures used in previous mutual fund research have little ability to detect economically large magnitudes ~e.g., three percent per year! of abnormal fund performance, particularly if a fund’s style characteristics differ from those of the value-weighted m...
متن کاملForecasting stock returns through an efficient aggregation of mutual fund holdings
We develop a stock return-predictive measure based on an efficient aggregation of the portfolio holdings of all actively managed U.S. domestic equity mutual funds, and use this model to study the source of fund managers’ stock-selection abilities. This “generalized-inverse alpha” (GIA) approach reveals differences in the ability of managers to predict firms’ future earnings from fundamental res...

In this paper, the authors use monthly holdings to study timing ability. These data differ from holdings data used in previous studies in that the authors data have a higher frequency and include a full range of securities, not just traded equities. Using a one-index model, the authors find, as do two recent studies, that management appears to have positive and statistically significant timing ...
متن کاملAppraisal of Mutual Equity Fund Performance Using Data Envelopment Analysis*
This paper employs Data Envelopment Analysis to measure for the first time the performance of Greek domestic equity mutual funds over four different one-year horizons and for the whole four-year period. In particular, the model used examines whether fund managers employ inputs (i.e. assets, loads, and risk) efficiently to produce output (returns). The results demonstrate that the efficient fund...
