ABSTRACT
Mutual fund provides a readymade option to households for portfolio diversification as well as
relative risk aversion through collecting and investing their savings in different risk-return profile
instruments. Its performance depends on the performance of underlying portfolio. If one or more
schemes perform badly in the portfolio, that can effect or hurt the investment decisions of
investors and may get them out from the scenario of wealth creation process. For saving
investors’ money from such a hazard, it becomes necessary to evaluate the performance of
mutual fund portfolio so that investors can take/judge their investment decisions rationally. This
evaluation would help in checking the prime idea of “putting all eggs in different baskets”
behind mutual funds and guessing that how far this idea is doing well for investors. Therefore,
our study has attempted to evaluate the comparative performance of public and private sector
mutual fund schemes t he Indian Mutual fund Industry has witnessed a structural transformation
during the past few years. Therefore it becomes important to examine the performance of the
mutual fund in the changed environment. This paper has evaluated the performance of Indian
Mutual fund equity scheme of 3 years past data from 2009 to 2011.To examine the funds
sensitivity to the market fluctuations in terms of beta. To appraise investment performance of
mutual funds with risk adjustment the theoretical parameters as suggested by Sharpe, Treynor
and Jensen. To rank the funds according to Sharpes, Treynors and Jensons performance measure.
KEYWORDS: mutual fund Performance, investment, risk-return Treynor Ratio, sharpe Ratio.

INTRODUCTION
The financial system comprises of financial institutions, instruments and markets that provide an
effective payment and credit system that facility the channeling of funds from savers to the
investors of the economy. Indian Mutual Funds have emerged as strong financial stability to the

Mutual Funds provide households an option for portfolio diversification and relative risk
aversion through collection of funds from the households and makes investments in the stock and
the debt market.
REVIEW OF LITERATURE
Barua and Verma (1991) provided empirical evidence of equity mutual fund performance in
India. They studied the investment performance of India’s first 7year close-end equity mutual
fund, Master share. They found that the fund performed satisfactory for large investor in terms of
rate of return. Ippolito (1992) expressed that fund/scheme selection by investors is based on past
performance of the funds and money flows into winning funds more rapidly than they flow out
of losing funds. Sarkar and Majumdar (1995) evaluated financial performance of five close-
ended growth funds for the period February 1991 to August 1993, concluded that the
performance was below average in terms of alpha values (all negative and statistically not
significant) and funds possessed high risk.
Jaydev (1996) evaluated performance of two schemes during the period, June 1992 to March
1994 in terms of returns / benchmark comparison, diversification, selectivity and market timing
skills. He concluded that the schemes failed to perform better than the market portfolio (ET’s
ordinary share price index). Gupta and Sehgal (1997) evaluated mutual fund performance over a
four year period, 1992-96. The sample consisted of 80 mutual fund schemes. They concluded
that mutual fund industry performed well during the period of study. The performance was
evaluated in terms of benchmark comparison, performance from one period to the next and their
risk-return characteristics.
Mishra (2001) evaluated performance over a period, April 1992 to December 1996. The sample
size was 24 public sector sponsored mutual funds. The performance was evaluated in terms of
rate of return, Treynor, Sharpe and Jensen measures of performance. The study concluded dismal
performance of PSU mutual funds in India, in general, during the period, 1992-96.
Zakri Y.Bello (2005) matched a sample of socially responsible stock mutual funds matched to
randomly selected conventional funds of similar net assets to investigate differences in
characteristics of assets held, degree of portfolio diversification and variable effects of
diversification on investment performance. The study found that socially responsible funds do
www.indianresearchjournals.com
not differ significantly from conventional funds in terms of any of these attributes. Moreover, the
effect of diversification on investment performance is not different between the two groups. Both
groups underperformed the Domini 400 Social Index and S & P 500 during the study period.
Mayank V. Bhatt and Chetan C. Patel (2008) studied the performance comparison of different
mutual funds schemes in India through Sharpe index model and concluded that mutual funds are
the most popular and safe parameter for an investor to invest.
Kavita Chavali and Shefali Jain (2009) evaluated the performance of equity linked savings
schemes and concluded that the fund chosen by the investor should match the risk appetite of the
investor. Narayan Rao and M. Ravindran evaluated performance of Indian mutual funds in a bear
market through relative performance index, risk-return analysis, Treynor ratio, Sharpe ratio,

Jensen measure, and Fama’s measure. The results of performance measures suggested that most
of mutual fund schemes in the sample of 58 were able to satisfy investor’s expectations by giving
excess returns over expected returns based on both premium for systematic risk and total risk.
Mutual Fund as an investment vehicle is capturing the attention of various segments of the
society, like academicians, industrialists, financial intermediaries, investors and regulators.
OBJECTIVES OF STUDY
To evaluate the performance of selected Public and Private sector Mutual Funds.
To evaluate the performance of selected mutual funds by using Sharpe, Treynor and Jensen
RESEARCH METHODOLOGY
SOURCE OF DATA
The data can be collected from Secondary Sources. The data was collected from Past Records,
Books, Journals, Magazines, Internet and all other types of published data.
STATISTICAL TOOLS
The simple statistical techniques like percentages and growth rates are calculated. For the
purpose of evaluation the popular methods such as Sharpe, Treynor and Jensen are applied.
In order to determine the risk adjusted returns of investing portfolio, several eminent authors
have worked since 1960’s to develop composite performance indices to evaluate a portfolio by
comparing alternative portfolio within a particular risk class. The most important and widely
www.indianresearchjournals.com
used measures of performance of Mutual Funds are:
The one period rate of return, r, for a mutual fund may then be defined as the change in the per
unit net asset value (NAV), plus it’s per unit cash disbursements (D) and per unit capital gains
disbursements (C) such as bonus shares, it may be calculated as.
Rap= (NAVt-NAVt-1) + DT + C
NAVt-1

Were
This formula gives the holding period yield or rate of return earned on a mutual fund. This may
be expressed as a percentage.
Where,
Higher value of Treynor’s index indicates better performance of portfolio and vice versa. The
Treynor’s measure of portfolio performance is relative measure that ranks the funds in terms of
risk (market risk) and return. The index is also termed as reward to volatility ratio.

Rf = Risk-free return over a period
Higher value of Sharpe’s index indicates better performance of portfolio and vice versa. The
Sharpe’s measure of portfolio performance is also relative measure that ranks the funds in terms
of risk (total risk) and return. The ratio is also termed as reward to variability ratio.
Jensen's Measure is a risk-adjusted performance measure that represents the average return on a
portfolio over and above that predicted by the capital asset pricing model (CAPM), given the
portfolio's beta and the average market return. This is the portfolio's alpha. In fact, the concept is
sometimes referred to as "Jensen's alpha."

PERFORMANCE MEASUREMENT
In this section, an attempt is made to measure the performance of selected mutual funds. For this
purpose the models developed by Sharpe, Trey nor and Jenseen were used. Before taking up this,
the details about returns of selected funds are presented. In addition, to have an idea about
volatility of funds to market return, the Beta values and standard deviation values are calculated.

investments options according to his risk bearing capacities and interest. Besides they also give a
handy return to the investors. The paper analyses various schemes of Different Companies.
In India Mutual funds are playing important role. The mutual fund Companies pool the
savings of small investors and invest those collected huge amount of funds in different sectors of
the economy. They are performing like intermediary between small investor and the Indian
capital market. In recent years many mutual fund companies are established. Through this
competition is increased among the companies. To encounter the competition the different
companies are introducing different types of mutual fund schemes with attractive returns and low
risk. So it is an advantage to the investors,
For taking a decision to invest in mutual funds, the evaluation plays a greater role. The
rankings given to the mutual funds attract the investment by the investors to the respective funds.
For the purpose of ranking the performance of various mutual funds the methods such as Sharpe.
Trey nor and Jensen were applied to the various funds in different schemes. It is hoped that the
ranks provided for the fund in this chapter explains relative performance of the schemes. The
relative performance of different types of funds according to different types of performance
measurements are explained in the next page.
