In India, one of the broad categorizations of mutual funds is as - equity, balanced, and debt funds, each catering to specific expected return and risk-appetite of investors. Further, it is generally believed that among the aforesaid three categories of funds, Equity funds provide highest returns, followed by balanced funds and debt funds in the given order. However, the risk involved in equity funds is also the higher as compared balanced and debt funds. This paper attempts to empirically compare the returns and risk involved in the aforesaid three broad categories of mutual funds operating in the India over three, five, and ten years time periods. For this, we select three independent samples (of size 60) in each category, namely, equity, balanced, and debt fund. Selection of funds in each category is as per researcher defined criteria. The data on selected schemes is collected from the databases of ‘Value Research India Private Limited’, and AMFI. Measures like annualized returns, standard deviation of returns, Sharpe ratio, and expense ratio are employed to compare the three categories. Hypotheses tests are performed employing single factor ANOVA and Tukey’s HSD test. Based on the evidence gathered, it is observed that over all the three chosen time durations, equity funds have on an average provided superior returns than balanced and debt funds, however, equity funds were also observed to be much more risky than the balanced and debt funds. Therefore for investors ready to take risks in lieu of higher returns, equity funds should be chosen. On the other hand investors who want to play safe with their investments, either balanced or debt funds should be their investment avenues

Indonesia's financial market is a potential target, because there are still many Indonesian who in their investment patterns do not reflect the diversity and choice of modern investment instruments. This becomes a "homework" to be completed. The maximum absorption of investment funds from Indonesian society that is still conventional can "excite" the capital market again. Shariah mutual funds have a special appeal compared to other types of mutual funds. Shariah mutual funds are currently not limited to Muslims because the general public, who have seen the benefits of investment based on the selection of sector and company with certain criteria, are more promising and minimize risk. Investment portfolio management works based on the framework for investment management which covers the process of planning, implementation, evaluation and adjustment. In mutual funds, investment managers are responsible for investment activities, which include analysis and selection of investment types, and taking necessary actions for the benefit of investors. If there is a problem in the future and the investor wants to change the form of his investment, then he can do the resale of the Shariah mutual fund shares to the mutual fund company where he invests. The Shariah Supervisory Board oversees the transactions of Mutual Fund issuing companies, because the halal returns / funds obtained through mutual funds depend heavily on investment activities carried out by investment managers. The advantage of investing in Shari'ah mutual funds is that it can be done in retail so that the initial investment can be adjusted to financial capability and its value is small. Other benefits include the relatively higher yield of deposits and tax free, as well as the existence of routine audits and supervision by the Shariah Supervisory Board (DPS). Key words: Syariah Mutual Funds, Portfolio Management, Shariah Supervisory Board

We model and test the relations between the team management of mutual funds, managers’ ability, performance, and holdings. Our model predicts that team-managed funds perform better and behave more conservatively than single-manager funds. However, the effect of team management is masked in equilibrium because high-ability managers rationally self-select into single-manager funds. Consistent with the model’s prediction, we find that team-managed funds perform better and deviate less from their benchmark allocations than single-manager funds with the same characteristics. These differences are marked after we control for the endogenous self-selection of managers.
