This purpose of this study is to investigate the association among mutual funds (MFs) risk measures and return parameters, evaluate mutual fund performance and also explore the best appropriate mutual fund performance measure for investment in Pakistan. Therefore, thirty-five mutual funds have been selected for the period 2007-2015. The Sharpe, Treynor, Jensen Alpha, Information ratio and Fama's Net Selectivity measures has been used to analyze MF performance. Our study findings show significant positive relation exist between Sharpe and Jenson alpha & information ratio (IR); Treynor ratio is negatively correlated to Jenson alpha and Jenson alpha is positively allied with IR. Moreover, association among performance measures, Fama's net selectivity is a major driver in leading to other measures but Sharpe and IR lead to Treynor ratio as well. Furthermore, performance measures are ranked in accordance standard deviation with the arrangement of Fama's net selectivity at top, Jenson Alpha at second, Sharpe ratio at third, IR at fourth and Treynor ratio at fifth position according to risk parameters in Pakistan. Overall, Jensen Alpha measure appears to be the best suitable mutual fund performance measure in Pakistan due to its practical nature. Finally, the Pakistani stock market index KSE100 (as benchmark) performs better than MF industry of Pakistan.

Purpose - The purpose of this paper is to investigate the potential benefits or detriments of team management on fund performance in the mutual fund market. An additional purpose of this study is to examine the optimal number of managers in a fund industry for superior performance. Research design, data, and methodology - This paper investigates the effect of managerial structure on fund performance in the Korean active mutual fund market between 2001 and 2008. For this, we analyze two risk-adjusted performances measures- the capital asset pricing model (CAPM) and the three-factor model of Fama & French (1993). Results - First, we found that single-managed funds exhibited superior performance. Second major finding was that as the number of managers in a fund increases, the fund performance deteriorates. Finally, the results reveal that the sharpest performance drop occurs when team size increases from a 5-person team to a 6-person team. Conclusions - The results suggest that the management structure can be a source of competitive advantage for fund performance. As considering fund performance is the outcome of managers' decision-making, this study contributes to not only the financial literature but also the literature in other areas, such as management and general business.

Purpose: This study aims to explore an ability to time market-wide investor sentiment of mutual fund managers in an emerging market. Research design, data, and methodology: Based on data of Thai mutual fund market over the period of 2000-2019, our sample includes 283 equity funds, consisting of 204 bank-related funds and 79 nonbank-related funds. We perform our regression analyses at the aggregate and portfolio levels. Results: Under the non-normal distribution of return, we find different behaviors between the best- and worst-performing funds in an ability to time market-wide investor sentiment in Thailand, which is dissimilar to the findings in the U.S. Bottom fund managers act as sentiment hedgers, who decrease (increase) an exposure of investment portfolios when the investor sentiment is high (low). Oppositely, top fund managers are likely to chase investor sentiment. Conclusion: We find that only the worst-performing fund managers, especially for bank-related funds are able to time the market-wide investor sentiment. An advantage of gaining information from their bank's clients is a key success. A competition in the mutual fund industry, an ability to predict fundamentals, and financial literacy are possible reasons to explain the main findings found in this study.

본 연구는 2002년 1월부터 2008년 6월까지의 국내 뮤추얼펀드 월별 자료를 이용하여 펀드의 성과지속성과 스마트머니 현상이 존재하는지를 검증하고, 이들 현상이 펀드의 자금유출입에 따른 주식거래에 의해 초래되는 가격압박효과에 기인하는지를 실증분석하였다. 먼저, 과거 성과가 가장 높았던 펀드그룹이 과거 성과가 가장 낮았던 펀드그룹에 비해 향후 3년까지 월평균 0.11%~1.05%의 유의한 초과수익률을 보임으로써 성과지속성은 존재하는 것으로 분석되었으나, 과거 순자금유입액이 가장 많았던 펀드그룹은 가장 적었던 펀드그룹에 비해 향후 투자성과가 오히려 낮게 나타남에 따라 스마트머니 효과는 약한 것으로 분석되었다. 또한 펀드의 과거 자금유출입에 따른 주식거래량으로 측정한 가격압박측정치가 가장 높았던 주식그룹은 가장 낮았던 주식그룹에 비해 당월에 1.01%의 높은 초과수익률을 얻음으로써 가격압박효과가 존재하는 것으로 분석되었다. 그러나 가격압박측정치가 동일한 펀드그룹 내에서도 과거 성과가 높았던 펀드들은 성과가 낮았던 펀드들에 비해 여전히 향후 2년까지 월평균 0.08%~0.77%의 높은 초과수익률을 보임으로써, 펀드 성과지속성의 주요 발생원인이 가격압박효과보다는 펀드매니저의 능력차이에 기인하는 것임을 시사하고 있다. 이러한 결과는 회귀분석을 통해서도 미래 펀드수익률에 대하여 가격압박측 정치는 비유의적인 계수값을 갖는 반면, 과거 펀드수익률은 유의한 양의 설명력을 갖는 것으로 나타남으로써 지지되고 있다.

Combining the strength of both Mixed Data Sampling (MIDAS) Regression and realized variance measures, this paper seeks to investigate two objectives: (1) evaluate the post-sample performance of the proposed weekly Realized Variance-MIDAS (RVar-MIDAS) in one-week ahead volatility forecasting against the established Generalized Autoregressive Conditional Heteroskedasticity (GARCH) model and the less explored but robust STES (Smooth Transition Exponential Smoothing) methods. (2) comparing forecast error performance between realized variance and squared residuals measures as a proxy for actual volatility. Data of seven private equity mutual fund indices (generated from 57 individual funds) from two different time periods (with and without financial crisis) are applied to 21 models. Robustness of the post-sample volatility forecasting of all models is validated by the Model Confidence Set (MCS) Procedures and revealed: (1) The weekly RVar-MIDAS model emerged as the best model, outperformed the robust DAILY-STES methods, and the weekly DAILY-GARCH models, particularly during a volatile period. (2) models with realized variance measured in estimation and as a proxy for actual volatility outperformed those using squared residual. This study contributes an empirical approach to one-week ahead volatility forecasting of mutual funds return, which is less explored in past literature on financial volatility forecasting compared to stocks volatility.

The maximum weight of single stock in mutual fund is limited by regulations to enforce diversification. Under incomplete information with added constraints on portfolio weights, enhanced performance had been reported in previous researches. We analyze a weight vector to examine the effects of additional constraints on the portfolio's performance by computing the Euclidean distance from the in-sample tangency portfolio, as opposed to previous researches which analyzed ex-post return only. Empirical experiment was performed on Mean-variance and Minimum-variance model with Fama French's 30 industry portfolio and 10 industry portfolio for the last 1,000 months from August 1932 to November 2015. We find that diversification-constrained portfolios have 7% to 26% smaller Euclidean distances with the benchmark portfolio compared to those of unconstrained portfolios and 3% to 11% greater Sharpe Ratio.

우리나라 중소기업들은 열악한 보상체계와 근로자의 이직 등으로 인해 심각한 인력부족 현상에 시달리고 있다. 지금까지 정부차원에서 중소기업의 인력 문제를 해결하기 위해 꾸준히 노력해 왔지만, 중소기업들의 인력난은 해소되고 있지 못하다. 중소기업 입장에서 경영성과에 직접적으로 기여할 수 있는 핵심인력의 장기재직은 매우 중요한 사안이다. 하지만 우리나라 중소기업 인력지원 정책은 주로 신규 채용과 우수 인력의 중소기업 유입을 중심으로 이루어져 왔으며, 아직까지 기존 우수 인력들이 중소기업에 장기간 근무할 수 있도록 유인하는 정책은 상대적으로 미흡한 실정이다. 이에 본 연구에서는 중소기업 핵심인력의 장기재직을 유인하기 위한 정책방안을 모색하고자 하였다. 이를 위해 먼저, 핵심인력에 대한 개념을 정립하고 특징을 파악하였으며, 공제사업 도입의 필요성을 검토하였다. 아울러 본 연구에서는 현재 우리나라에서 운영되고 있는 공제사업에 대한 심층적인 현황분석을 통해 정책의 효과를 높일 수 있는 지원방안을 제시하고자 하였다.

Purpose - The purpose of this study examines when the optimism impact on financial asset price forecasting and the boundary condition of optimism in the financial asset price forecasting. People generally tend to optimistically forecast their future. Optimism is a nature of human beings and optimistic forecasting observed in daily life. But is it always observed in financial asset price forecasting? In this study, two factors were focused on considering whether the optimism that people have applied to predicting future performance of financial investment products (e.g., mutual fund). First, this study examined whether the degree of optimism varied depending on the direction of the prior price trend. Second, this study examined whether the degree of optimism varied according to the forecast period by dividing the future forecasted by people into three time horizon based on forecast period. Research design, data, and methodology - 2 (prior price trend: rising-up trend vs falling-down trend) × 3 (forecast time horizon: short term vs medium term vs long term) experimental design was used. Prior price trend was used between subject and forecast time horizon was used within subject design. 169 undergraduate students participated in the experiment. χ² analysis was used. In this study, prior price trend divided into two types: rising-up trend versus falling-down trend. Forecast time horizon divided into three types: short term (after one month), medium term (after one year), and long term (after five years). Results - Optimistic price forecasting and boundary condition was found. Participants who were exposed to falling-down trend did not make optimistic predictions in the short term, but over time they tended to be more optimistic about the future in the medium term and long term. However, participants who were exposed to rising-up trend were over-optimistic in the short term, but over time, less optimistic in the medium and long term. Optimistic price forecasting was found when participants forecasted in the long term. Exposure to prior price trends (rising-up trend vs falling-down trend) was a boundary condition of optimistic price forecasting. Conclusions - The results indicated that individuals were more likely to be impacted by prior price tends in the short term time horizon, while being optimistic in the long term time horizon.
