A Comparative Simulation Study of Fund Performance Measures
نویسنده
چکیده
This study critically reviews current fund performance measures. The performance measure derived from the return-based style analysis (RBSA) by Sharpe (1992) is introduced and compared with other regression-based measures. A comparative simulation is set up to test the robustness, accuracy, and efficiency of the alternative measures. The evidence shows that the RBSA measure is superior to other measures. The performance of the simple Jensen measures is sensitive to fund types. More complicated measures, like market-timing measures and multifactor measures show spurious market timing and wrong fund type information.

This study aims to simulate runoff and runoff quality of Zarrineh river basin by SWAT model. Calibration and verification were done respectively with monthly runoff statistics in SWAT CUP by SUFI2 method for 1992-2013, for 12 sub basin, 226 HRU and monthly nitrate data for 2006-2009. The highest runoff sensitivity and runoff quality with minimum Pvalue and maximum absolute value Ttest belong to...
متن کاملEvaluating 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 کاملFactors Influencing the Policyholders’ Satisfaction with the Performance of Insurance Fund in the Field of Agricultural Products: the Case Study of Wheat Growers in Ilam
Since insuring agricultural products is one of the effective instruments for risk management in agricultural sector, it can reduce risk avoidance among farmers and increase their competence in using production factors and, consequently, increases their inclination towards investment in agricultural sectors. The purpose of the current study was to investigate the factors influencing policyholder...
متن کاملComparative study of computer simulation softwares
One of the methods for analyzing systems is simulation. Network simulation is a technique that models the behavior of the network by performing transaction calculations between different network entities and using mathematical formulas and taking observations from network products. A network simulator is a piece of software or hardware that predicts the behavior of a computer network without a ...
