Using mergers as shocks to fund size, I analyze the return-to-scale property of mutual funds. I find that acquiring funds’ performance deteriorates after experiencing a positive shock in size resulting from mergers, and liquidity plays an important role in the negative relationship between size and performance. I also find that the decline in performance is not due to higher performance prior to the merger, nor driven by higher integration costs after the event. These findings are consistent with mutual funds having decreasing returns to scale and thus provide empirical evidence that supports the theoretical model of Berk and Green (2004).

This study aims to determine the effect of fund size, expense ratio and turnover ratio. The data used in this research is the net asset value data and shariah mutual fund prospectus of 4 shariah equity funds for the period 2014-2017. This study describes using multiple linear regression test to prove the relationship between exogenous and endogenous variables. The result of the test shows that partially fund size and positive effect is not significant on the performance of Islamic stock mutual funds, the expense ratio has no significant negative effect on the performance of Islamic equity mutual funds, while the turnover ratio has a significant positive effect on the performance of sharia mutual funds. While simultaneously fund size, expense ratio and turnover ratio have a significant influence with the coefficient of determination of 25,06%% while the remaining 74,94%  influenced by other variables not included in this study.Keywords: Sharia Mutual Funds Performance, Turnover Ratio, Cash Flow, Expense Ratio

AbstractUsing stock transactions data along with detailed stockholdings for a comprehensive sample of U.S. actively managed equity mutual funds from 1993 to 2002, this paper empirically examines the effect of liquidity and investment style on the relation between fund size and fund performance. Consistent with Chen, Hong, Huang, and Kubik (2004), I find a significant inverse relation between fund size and fund performance. Further, this inverse relation is stronger among funds that hold less liquid portfolios. The inverse relation between fund size and fund performance is also more pronounced among growth and high turnover funds that tend to have high demands for immediacy. Overall, this paper's findings suggest that liquidity is an important reason why fund size erodes performance.

The use and effect of derivatives and short selling by US equity and bond open-end mutual funds are studied using a large and unique database. We find that the likelihood of their use is positively related to fund size, family size, and fund turnover for both fund types except for short selling by equity funds from larger families. Our findings suggest that funds that use derivatives exhibit significantly higher benchmark-adjusted performances based on both gross- and net-of-fees returns. This is done without adversely affecting market betas, net expense ratios (NERs), or brokerage fees as a proportion of total net assets (TNA). We find that for bond funds derivative use is negatively associated with non-systematic risk and short selling use is positively associated with total and systematic risk.

The result of this research shows that systematic risk and fund size are partially have significant influence to the sharia fixed income mutual funds performance. Meanwhile, market timing is partially have insignificant influence to the sharia fixed income mutual funds performance. While simultaneously, systematic risk, market timing and fund size have significant influence to the sharia fixed income mutual funds performance with the coefficient of determination is 31,9% while the remaining 68,1% is influenced by other variables not included in this research.Keywords: Sharia Mutual Fund Performance, Systematic Risk, Market Timing, Fund Size

The data used in this study are monthly Net Asset Value, BI rate, IHSG, annual turnover data, annual expenses ratio data, and prospectus of 9 sharia stock mutual funds from December 2014 to December 2018. Samples were taken based on the purposive sampling method during this research. The measurement of the performance of sharia equity fund investment managers uses the Sharpe Ratio method. The method used is multiple linear regression analysis and classic assumption tests using descriptive statistical tests, multicollinearity tests, and heteroscedasticity tests using EVIEWS 10 statistical software. The results of this study indicate that turnover ratio, fund size, fund selection skills significantly influence performance Islamic mutual fund investment manager. While expenses and managerial tenure ratios do not significantly influence the performance of investment managers in Islamic mutual funds.
