Mutual fund performance and persistence in Taiwan: a non - parametric approach

Article Abstract:

A non-parametric programming technique called data envelopment analysis was used to measure the performance of Taiwan's domestic funds between 1999 and 2003. The sample funds were divided into losing funds (0-25th percentile), middle funds (26th-75th percentile), and winning funds (76th-100th percentile) in order to test performance persistence. It was discovered that there is a hot hands effect in Taiwan's domestic equity funds under the technical efficiency measure, indicating that funds which did well in recent years remain excellent performers in the following year.

The Sharpe Treynor and Jensen measures of portfolio management were applied to evaluate 92 UK investment trust performance from 1975-1993. The Jensen measure of excess return averaged positively for ten of the fourteen 5-year rolling periods. However, the measure did not prove significant for most of the individual funds.
