Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Tests of Market Timing and Mutual Fund Performance
Can investment managers beat the market? Or more specifically, can they determine when a portfolio replicating the stock market as a whole will provide a greater return than riskless government securities? Using a model developed by Merton we will attempt to answer this important question. There have been numerous studies, both theoretical and empirical, dealing with the evaluation of the performance of investment managers. This is justifiable considering the magnitudes of the invested assets and management fees involved. Preper evaluation would allow investors to analyze the trade - off between expected fund performance and the size of the management fees, while allowing the best managers to charge the highest fees.
