This paper studies the performance of mutual funds that specialise in equity investment. We use a sample of the top sixteen actively managed European equity funds operating in the United States between July 1990 and November 2020. Using standard factor models, we show that none of our sample funds generated a positive and significant alpha. The observed funds could not outperform a simple passive strategy that involves tradeable European benchmark portfolios in the longer run. As a rule, the funds in our sample did not exploit the known asset pricing anomalies.

Given that sustainable investing constitutes a major force across global financial markets, in 2016 Morningstar began reporting Morningstar Sustainability scores. We used the 2016, 2017 and 2018 scores to study the effects of socially responsible investments (SRI) on European equity fund performance. Sustainability scores impacted positively on performance, which was consistent with the idea that the mutual funds invested in companies with better scores generate better risk-adjusted and not-risk adjusted performance. We also tested the relation on mutual fund flows and risk. The sustainability score in the previous year is significant on the flows, so higher-rated funds receive a larger volume of funds. In terms of risk, the level of sustainability is negatively related to the value at risk (VaR) of the fund, supporting that higher scored mutual funds offer better protection against extreme losses.

Mutual funds are investment facilities that are used to raise funds from the investor community for further investment in securities portfolios by investment managers, and subsequently invested in stocks, bonds, time deposits, money market, and so on. Mutual fund performance is influenced by the determining factors of whether a mutual fund performs well or poorly, the mutual fund performance factor, namely the first is the age / age of the mutual fund (Fund Age), the second is the comparison between operating costs in one year and the average net asset value in one year (Expense Ratio) and the third is Net Asset Value (NAV). The formulation of the problems in this research are (1) How is the development of the age of equity funds in Mandiri Investasi for the 2014-2019 period?

We propose a new determinant of mutual fund performance persistence. We argue that different funds have different abilities to generate persistent performance and that such heterogeneity across funds can be explained by fund manager access to market information. To justify this hypothesis, we construct a network of mutual funds based on the commonality of their stock holdings and use network features to characterize how well a fund acquires and utilizes market information. Based on a sample of U.S. equity funds from 2001 to 2014, we find that a mutual fund with more complete information is more likely to possess momentum in performance.

Mutual funds are said to perform very well if they can provide a higher rate of return and minimize risk. This study aims to find out if the performance of stock mutual funds has a better performance than the market as a comparison (JCI) using sharpe and jensen methods and to find out if there is a difference in the rating of stock mutual fund performance measurement results between sharpe method and Jensen method.The analysis results using Sharpe method and Jensen method show that 30 mutual funds have a good performance where the performance value of stock mutual funds from sharpe and jensen method is above the average market value (JCI). The result of Sharpe method in 2017 shows that the best performing stock mutual fund is Batavia Stock Fund Optimal Stock Fund. In 2018 and 2019, the best performance was the Sucorivest Maxi Fund, while the result of Jensen's method in 2017, the best performing stock mutual fund was the Sucorivest Maxi Fund. In 2018, it showed the best performance, namely Trim Kapital Equity Fund. The Bahana Trailblazer Fund occupied the highest performance value in 2019. However, each equity fund will experience a change in its rating every year. For the best mutual funds in this research year.


Mutual funds following factor investing strategies based on equity asset pricing anomalies, such as the small-cap, value, and momentum effects, earn significantly higher alphas than traditional actively managed mutual funds. The authors report that a buy-and-hold strategy for a random factor fund yields 110 basis points per annum in excess of the return earned by the average traditional actively managed mutual fund. However, they find that the actual returns that investors earn by investing in factor mutual funds are significantly lower because investors dynamically reallocate their funds both across factors and factor managers. Although factor funds have attracted significant fund flows over their sample period, it appears that fund flows have been driven by factor funds earning high past returns and not by the funds providing factor exposures. The authors argue that, rather than timing factors and factor managers, investors would be better off by using a buy-and-hold strategy and selecting a multifactor manager.
