Book excerpt: The persistence in manager's ability to select stocks and to time risk factors is a vital issue for accessing the performance of any asset management company. The fund manager who comes out successful today, whether the same will be able to sustain the performance in the future is a matter of concern to the investors and other stakeholders. More than the stock picking ability of fund managers, one would be interested in knowing whether there is consistency in selectivity and timing performance or not. If a fund manager is able to deliver better performance consistently i.e. quarter-after-quarter or year-after-year, then the managers' performance in selecting the right type of stocks for the portfolio would be considered satisfactory. This paper has attempted to analyze the persistence in both stock selection and timing performance of mutual fund managers in India through Henriksson & Morton; Jenson, and Fama's model over a period of five years. It is found that the fund managers present persistence in selection skills, however, the sample funds haven't shown progressive timing skills in the Indian context.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study examines the performance of 93 fund managers over the 10 year period 1986 through 1995 using relative percentile ranks based on quarterly compounded, annual total returns measured against funds with the same investment objective. On average, managers with 10-year track records at the same fund do not perform better than managers with shorter track records. Also, for these experienced managers, superior performance in one five-year period is not predictive of superior performance over the next five years. However, inferior performance persists particularly for funds with above average expense ratios.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We examine manager performance across multiple contemporaneously-managed mutual funds and document significant cross-sectional performance persistence. While 80% of managers in our sample have at least one underperforming fund in each quarter, a small but statistically significant number of managers persistently outperform for up to 8 quarters across all their funds. We also find that 16.1% (7.2%) of managers in our sample contemporaneously manage a top-40% (20%) fund and a bottom-40% (20%) fund more than 50% of the time. We provide new evidence on managerial busyness by showing that managers' performance drops significantly when the number of funds they manage increases.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper provides a review of the methods for measuring portfolio performance and the evidence on the performance of professionally managed investment portfolios. Traditional performance measures, strongly influenced by the Capital Asset Pricing Model of Sharpe (1964), were developed prior to 1990. We discuss some of the properties and important problems associated with these measures. We then review the more recent Conditional Performance Evaluation techniques, designed to allow for expected returns and risks that may vary over time, and thus addressing one major shortcoming of the traditional measures. We also discuss weight-based performance measures and the stochastic discount factor approach. We review the evidence that these newer measures have produced on selectivity and market timing ability for professional managed investment funds. The evidence includes equity style mutual funds, pension funds, asset allocation style funds, fixed income funds and hedge funds.

Download or read book Differences in Short Term Performance Persistence by Mutual Fund Equity Class written by Andrew L. Detzel and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: To consistently earn positive alpha, active fund managers must have access to mispriced stocks. We show that mispricing varies by equity class in such a way that greater mispricing occurs in smaller-cap and more value-oriented stocks, providing opportunity for managers in these classes. Accordingly, we find the greatest evidence that top-performing mutual fund managers continue to earn positive alpha in smaller-cap and more value-oriented classes when investigating quarterly performance persistence by equity class. Conversely, large cap funds show no evidence of persistence in superior performance. In contrast to the patterns of persistence in superior performance, relative performance persists in all equity classes.

Download or read book The Performance of Long Serving Fund Managers written by Andrew Clare and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 27 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Apparently “there is no substitute for experience”. This and similar phrases are often heard in the worlds of politics, business, sport and others. It is the sort of proposition that makes sense to people. However, while the performance of actively managed funds has attracted a great deal of attention in the past, the performance of managers with long track records has attracted relatively little. In this paper we focus on managers with track records of at least ten years, that is, managers that have been the sole manager of a fund for at least a decade. We find that the average, net of fee, risk-adjusted performance of these managers over the ten years of our sample is attractive compared to similar values calculated for wider samples of the manager population. However, this result may be a reflection of survivorship bias, since we find little evidence of performance persistence from year to year among these managers, and evidence to suggest that risk-adjusted performance over the ten year sample period declined. However, for those investors that would still prefer to invest with an experienced fund manager, the disaggregated analysis in this paper reveals certain key traits that are related to positive risk-adjusted performance of long-serving managers, such as relatively low fund fees, more concentrated portfolios and a small cap style bias.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study investigates the determinants of persistence in mutual fund performance. Previous research that uses factor-mimicking portfolios and characteristic benchmarks to model fund performance fails to explain all the persistence in fund returns. This study employs a model that directly relates mutual fund returns to the characteristics of the stocks held by funds. Adjusting fund returns for the size of the stocks in which funds invest and financial ratios intended to capture fund manager investment styles explains all the persistence in mutual fund returns from 1976-1985, the period in which persistence is most prevalent.

This book was released on 2009-07-01 with total page 99 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Inhaltsangabe:Abstract: I do not want a good General, I want a lucky one. (Napoleon Bonaparte). In contrast to Napoleon, investors typically do not want to pick a lucky person to administer their funds, but both Napoleon and the investor face a similar problem: how to separate the lucky from the skilled. Historic data shows that five out of one hundred portfolio managers achieve an outstanding performance just by luck, and statistics also reveal that luck in most cases does not persist over time. The lucky managers will, however, always cite their superior skills as a reason for their success, while the unsuccessful ones will place the blame on bad luck. By assessing all active managers on the two dimensions luck and skill, four groups are created. The separation of the skilled and lucky from the unskilled but lucky managers and the separation of the skilled but unlucky from the unskilled and unlucky managers is of special interest to all stakeholders in the investment industry. It is, therefore, the investor s task to apply understandable guidelines, preferably on a quantitative basis, when it comes to evaluating a portfolio manager. On the other hand, it is the fund administration s task to judge the performance of its managers objectively and to transfer the results into a variable remuneration scheme or to decide about the replacement of a certain manager. The idea of comparing the performance of different risky investments, for example investment funds, on a quantitative basis dates back to the beginnings of the asset management industry and has been an important field of research in finance since then. Performance measures serve as valuable quantitative evidence for the portfolio manager s performance as well as for the evaluation of investment decisions ex post. Based on the idea of the capital asset pricing model (CAPM) proposed by Treynor, Sharpe, and Lintner, Treynor developed the first quantitative performance measure intended to rate mutual funds, the Treynor Ratio. Since then, a large number of performance measures with very different characteristics have been developed. Besides academia, the driving force behind the development of more sophisticated performance measures has always been the investors. This is understandable, as the truly poor managers are afraid, the unlucky managers will be unjustly condemned, and the new managers have no track record. Only the skilled (or lucky) managers are enthusiastic . By combining and [...]

Download or read book Mutual Fund Flows Performance Persistence and Manager Skill written by Yan Albert Wang and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 46 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper adapts the model of Berk and Green (2004) to explain with reasonable success the data on mutual fund returns and flows. Using a Bayesian measure of fund-manager skill that controls for fund flows, I find that posterior estimates of skill vary substantially in the cross section and that perceived differences in ability persist through time. Consistent with the model, investor fund flows respond in a convex manner to posterior updates of manager skill scaled by functions of the expense ratio, and this result is robust after including a convex function of past performance. While cross-sectional variation in posterior skill estimates has predictive power for out-of-sample subsequent fund performance, such predictability is present only in the short run. Beyond one year, high-skilled managers do not consistently out-perform low-skilled managers as skill-chasing fund flows equalize the realized abnormal fund returns across managers. Overall, my empirical evidence is consistent with some managers possessing high ability, investors rationally chasing returns generated by those managers, and lack of long-run persistence in fund returns due to equilibrating fund flows and diseconomies of scale in assets under management. Outside of the model, I show that the cross-sectional distribution of managerial ability is related to fund style and fund-manager compensation in a way that is consistent with matching the managerial productivity to the nature of the underlying portfolio.

Download or read book Performance Persistence and Determinants of Indian Fund of Mutual Fund written by S. Muruganandan and published by LAP Lambert Academic Publishing. This book was released on 2014-03 with total page 140 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fund of Mutual Funds (FoFs) are only an investment strategy of holding a portfolio of other investment funds rather than investing directly in shares, bonds and other securities. This strategy offers high level of diversification to the investors but highly criticised due to additional layer fees associated in it. However, the growing demand for FoFs motivated the researchers to examine the persistence and determinants of performance of FoFs in Indian context. The performance of selected FoFs is tested with the help of average excess return, Sharpe ratio and Jensen's alpha and found that the sample funds outperformed the market index for the given level of risk. Malkiel's Z-test, Brown and Goetzmann Z- test and Kahn and Rudd Chi Square test are used to examine the performance persistence and found the loser pattern of persistence. The determinants of FoFs performance is examined by employing Panel Data model and concluded that the fund managers are enjoying the benefit of economies of scale where as investors are not.

Download or read book Private Equity Fund Returns and Performance Persistence written by Robert Marquez and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 52 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Successful private equity managers have funds that are often oversubscribed and provide persistent abnormal returns. Why don't successful managers increase fund size or fees? We argue that managers want to attract high quality entrepreneurs, while entrepreneurs want to match with high ability managers. However, observing fund performance does not allow entrepreneurs to distinguish a manager's ability from the quality of firms in the fund's portfolio. As a consequence, a fund manager may devote unobserved effort to select firms, and keep fund size small to limit the cost of effort, hoping to manipulate entrepreneurs' beliefs about his ability.

Download or read book On Persistence in Mutual Fund Performance written by Mark M. Carhart and published by . This book was released on 1998 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Using a sample free of survivor bias, I demonstrate that common factors in stock returns and investment expenses almost completely explain persistence in equity mutual funds' mean and risk-adjusted returns. Hendricks, Patel and Zeckhauser's (1993) quot;hot handsquot; result is mostly driven by the one-year momentum effect of Jegadeesh and Titman (1993), but individual funds do not earn higher returns from following the momentum strategy in stocks. The only significant persistence not explained is concentrated in strong underperformance by the worst-return mutual funds. The results do not support the existence of skilled or informed mutual fund portfolio managers.

Download or read book Investment Criteria for Mutual Fund Selection written by Jan Harkopf and published by diplom.de. This book was released on 2016-10-07 with total page 87 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The importance of mutual funds for individual investors has increased in recent decades. This becomes apparent when looking at the increased share of households owning mutual funds. These mutual fund investors usually want to receive a return which is above or at least close to the mutual fund’s benchmark. Consequently, investors want to invest in those funds which will show these patterns in the future. Some of these mutual funds receive much attention, since they generate extraordinary high performance. But the question that remains is whether it is possible to predict such performance before funds exhibit such outstanding performance. In the past, mutual fund investors focused extensively on performance or performance linked patterns, like the Morningstar star rating, and thus chased past performance. This seems surprising since performance persists only over a short time and is more persistent to weak mutual funds (1 and 2 star rated) than well performing mutual funds. Thus, chasing past performances seems to be a rather inferior strategy. Therefore, investors should try to identify alternative tools showing a high correlation to future mutual fund performance. In this book, mutual funds are analysed, especially open-end mutual funds and actively managed mutual funds. The main focus is on what purpose and usefulness active investments have and whether performance is persistent and what the determinants of mutual fund flows are. Moreover, some alternative measures will be introduced by explaining which attributes or methods should be used and avoided when selecting mutual funds.
