Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this paper the performance evaluation of Indian mutual funds in a bear market is carried out through relative performance index, risk-return analysis, Treynor's ratio, Sharp's ratio, Sharp's measure, Jensen's measure, and Fama's measure. The data used is monthly closing NAVs. The source of data is website of Association of Mutual Funds in India (AMFI). Study period is September 98-April 02 (bear period). We started with a sample of 269 open ended schemes (out of total schemes of 433) for computing relative performance index. Then after excluding the funds whose returns are less than risk-free returns, 58 schemes were used for further analysis. Mean monthly (logarithmic) return and risk of the sample mutual fund schemes during the period were 0.59% and 7.10%, respectively, compared to similar statistics of 0.14% and 8.57% for market portfolio. The results of performance measures suggest that most of the mutual fund schemes in the sample of 58 were able to satisfy investor's expectations by giving excess returns over expected returns based on both premium for systematic risk and total risk.
Download or read book Fund Performance Measurement Without Benchmark A Case of Select Indian Mutual Funds written by Kaushik Bhattacharjee and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 10 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper calculates the Performance Change measure (PCM) developed by Grinblatt amp; Titman (Journal of Business, 1993, vol. 66, no. 1)for a sample of 50 Indian mutual funds over a period of 26 months. PCM as a measure has some advantages compared to the traditional measures, the most important one being - it is free from using a benchmark portfolio and consequently the resulting biases arising out of usage of such a portfolio. So by using PCM as a measure, this paper, without using any benchmark, attempts to asses whether the selected mutual funds are able to provide above-normal return on average - using no more information than what is available to the common investor. PCM has been calculated for one month, one quarter, and one year lag. And using PCM as a measure the study finds that though in the short term, the mutual funds were unable to generate above-normal return but on the average the combined PCM of all the mutual funds is significantly different from zero, which are in agreement with the original findings of Grinblatt amp; Titman, in this Indian context.

This book was released on 2011-03 with total page 332 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The mutual funds in India have registered significant growth and emerged as important financial intermediaries during the past decade or so, manifested by increased mobilization of funds and the increasing number of schemes and investors. To fulfill the expectations of millions of unit holders, the mutual funds are required to function as successful institutional investors. Evaluating performance of mutual fund managers vis-a-vis such a goal, is important for both the investors as well as the fund managers. Fund managers in India, periodically publish various performance reports using standard measures, which may not actually reflect the true investment performance of the funds. The present study evaluated the performance of the equity mutual funds in India during the period from 2000 to 2006, using a new framework.A number of new performance indicators are used for the purpose, and it is hoped that this attempt should highlight the efficiency and true competence of fund managers and augment the existing framework for identifying successful fund managers. It should benefit the investors, regulators, fund managers and other participants in the mutual fund industry in gene

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper examines the performance of Indian Fund of Mutual Funds (FoFs) during the period from April 2008 to March 2011. The performance of each FoFs during the study period is assessed by employing the performance measures of average excess return, Sharpe ratio and Jensen's alpha. Sharpe ratio and Jensen alpha indicate that most of the selected funds give higher return than the market index for the given level of risk. Hence, it is concluded that the selected funds outperformed the benchmark index i.e. BSE 500 index during the study period.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The study used sample of public-sector sponsored amp; private-sector sponsored mutual funds of varied net assets to investigate the differences in characteristics of assets held, portfolio diversification, and variable effects of diversification on investment performance for the period May, 2002 to May, 2005. The study found that public-sector sponsored funds do not differ significantly from private-sector sponsored funds in terms of mean returns%. However, there is a significant difference between public-sector sponsored mutual funds and private-sector sponsored mutual funds in terms of average standard deviation, average variance and average coefficient of variation (COV). The study also found that there is a statistical difference between sponsorship classes in terms of e SDAR (excess standard deviation adjusted returns) as a performance measure. When residual variance (RV) is used as the measure of mutual fund portfolio diversification characteristic, there is a statistical difference between public-sector sponsored mutual funds and private-sector sponsored mutual funds for the study period. The model built on testing the impact of diversification on fund performance and found a statistical difference among sponsorship classes when residual variance is used as a measure of portfolio diversification and excess standard deviation adjusted returns as a performance measure. RV, however, has a direct impact on Sharpe fund performance measure.

Download or read book The Conditional Performance of Indian Mutual Funds written by Bijan Roy and published by . This book was released on 2004 with total page 24 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of the most important developments in the field of finance during last forty years is the mutual fund performance evaluation technique. The traditional techniques use the unconditional moments of the returns. Such techniques cannot capture the time-varying element of expected return. As a consequence Ferson and Schadt (96) advocate a technique called conditional performance evaluation, designed to address this problem. This paper utilizes that technique on a sample of 89 Indian mutual fund schemes, over the period of 1999:1 to 2003:7. The broad based Samp;P CNX 500 is used in the study as benchmark. The study uses the lagged information variables - T-bill yield, dividend yields, term structure yield spread and a dummy for April-effect. The paper measures the performance with both unconditional and conditional form of - CAPM, Treynor-Mazuy model and Henriksson-Merton model. We examine the effect of incorporating lagged information variables into the evaluation of mutual fund managers' performance in Indian context. The result suggests that the use of conditioning lagged information variables improves the performance of the mutual fund schemes, causing the alphas to shift towards the right and reducing the number of negative timing coefficients. Tech rally of 1999 to 2001 is a major event in the history of Indian capital market. We have also incorporated the impact of the tech rally in the conditional models by introducing a dummy variable indicating the period of rally in tech stocks. We found that fund managers' performance as well as timing skill worsens with the inclusion of this dummy.
Download or read book Mutual Fund Performance Measurement Using Higher Moment Approach written by Nathee Naktnasukanjn and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 36 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This research studies mutual fund performance in three selected Asian countries -- China, Singapore and Thailand -- for twelve years during 2000 to 2011 to determine whether any equity mutual funds significantly outperformed, or beat the market. The study begins with direct and simple single-dimensional comparisons of total returns, and then moves to multi-dimensional comparisons of return-to-risk ratios in second-moment frameworks, lower-partial-moment frameworks, higher-moments frameworks, CAPM, and Fama-French-Carhart four-factor model, to see whether there are any differences in the results of the different measures in the various moment frameworks. The result shows that the chance for equity mutual fund to beat the market is very slim but the chance that equity mutual funds perform poorer than their index performance is much higher. Even the difference of performance of the majority of equity mutual funds and their index's are not significant, the chance to be beaten by the market is higher than the chance to beat the market, particularly in Singapore and Thailand, no matter what performance measures to be used.

Book excerpt: In early January 2015, in his home office in Mumbai, India, Sandeep Gupta, pondered if the investment strategy he had used for the previous ten years was the optimal strategy and whether he should modify it. That is, since 2005 Sandeep had been allocating his investible money saved out of his annual salary through systematic investment plans to four open-ended mutual funds, namely HDFC Top 200 Fund, Franklin India Bluechip Fund, SBI Magnum Equity Fund, and Reliance Growth Fund. After almost a decade of investing through mutual funds, Sandeep wondered whether his investment strategy had worked and whether these funds have outperformed relative to the benchmark indices. Sandeep knew that evaluating fund performance solely on the basis of average returns would not be meaningful as absolute returns needed to be adjusted for risk undertaken before they can be compared. With this quantitative analysis in mind, Sandeep decided to focus on the proposed computation of various fund performance measures such as the Sharpe ratio, Treynor ratio, Jensen's alpha, information ratio, M-square measure, and Sortino ratio. The case puts the students in a financial analyst role and illustrates the relevance and computation of various risk-adjusted measures of fund/portfolio performance for investors' rational decision-making over a period of time.
