Performance Measurement and Best-Practice Benchmarking of Mutual Funds: Combining Stochastic Dominance criteria with Data Envelopment Analysis
نویسنده
چکیده
We propose a method for mutual fund performance measurement and best-practice benchmarking, which endogenously identifies a dominating benchmark portfolio for each evaluated mutual fund. Dominating benchmarks provide information about efficiency improvement potential as well as portfolio strategies for achieving them. Portfolio diversification possibilities are accounts for by using Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA). Portfolio risk is accounted for in terms of the full return distribution by utilizing Stochastic Dominance (SD) criteria. The approach is illustrated by an application to US based environmentally responsible mutual funds.

Data envelopment analysis of mutual funds based on second-order stochastic dominance
Although data envelopment analysis (DEA) has been extensively used to assess the performance of mutual funds (MF), most of the approaches overestimate the risk associated to the endogenous benchmark portfolio. This is because in the conventional DEA technology the risk of the target portfolio is computed as a linear combination of the risk of the assessed MF. This neglects the important effects...
متن کاملEfficiency of mutual funds in Croatia: a DEA-based approach applied in the pre-crisis, crisis and post crisis period
The aim of this paper is to estimate the overall performance of mutual funds in Croatia in terms of their relative efficiency based on several performance indicators using data envelopment analysis (DEA). DEA is a non-parametric method that can provide an overall relative efficiency score of a certain fund given a number of risk, cost or reward or profitability measures. Since traditional mutua...
متن کاملAn integrated data envelopment analysis–artificial neural network approach for benchmarking of bank branches
Efficiency and quality of services are crucial to today’s banking industries. The competition in this section has become increasingly intense, as a result of fast improvements in Technology. Therefore, performance analysis of the banking sectors attracts more attention these days. Even though data envelopment analysis (DEA) is a pioneer approach in the literature as of an efficiency measurement...
متن کاملApplication of DEA and SFA on the Measurement of Agricultural Technical Efficiency in MENA Countries
The purpose of this paper is to investigate the levels of technical efficiency in agricultural sector of MENA countries by using Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) and Stochastic Frontier Analysis (SFA) approaches in 2007-2008. The results show that the total average of technical efficiency is as follows: DEABCC(0.770)>DEACCR(0.744)>SFA(0.479), and among all MENA countries, the best performanc...
متن کاملAssessing Mutual Funds Performance Using Data Envelopment Analysis
This study illustrates the use of data envelopment analysis to benchmark mutual funds on the basis of risk-adjusted performance, load, 12b-1 plan, and expense ratios. Using the DEA methodology, we calculate an efficiency score for 189 funds on a scale of 1 to 100 by maximizing twelve month total return and minimizing beta, standard deviation, load, 12b-1 charges, and expense ratios. This study ...
