Performance evaluation of select mutual funds in terms of risk adjustment parameters

Capital Market has always been one of the most important avenues for the investors to invest their savings. Any rational investor initially holds a combination of the riskless asset and an index portfolio. He considers whether to tilt his portfolio holdings towards an actively managed fund by investing a small proportion of his wealth in it. He should do so only if it raises his expected utility and, hence, only if it raises the overall portfolio. Performance measures are used to compare a portfolio's performance pertaining to different periods or to compare different portfolios in the same period. The present paper evaluates the performance of select mutual fund schemes on the basis of returns and comparison with their bench marks using risk adjusted parameters such as Sharpe, Treynor & Jensen's ratios.
