| Summary: | One reason that attracts investors to invest in mutual funds is its capacity to
reduce risk and to maximize the return. Some investors, however, still have a
preference for individual investment. Performance of the funds and individual
portfolios should be evaluated using the portfolio performance measures before
investors decide whether they will invest their money on mutual funds, especially
equity funds, or individual portfolios. Through this research, I wish to identify
which one among the equity fund or random or selective individual portfolio that
has better performance than the other.
The research utilizes various capital market data ranging from the year 2006
through 2010. Eighteen equity funds operating since 2006 until 2010 are selected
and 4 types of portfolio are developed randomly, with 18 portfolios for each type
of portfolio. Four types of portfolio are Random portfolio, Selective1 portfolio,
Selective2 portfolio, and Selective3 portfolio. The Selective1, Selective2, and
Selective3 portfolios are developed based on stocks that have price-earnings
ratios, price-to-book values, and the combination of both that are lower than the
industry average. The following step is calculating beta, standard deviation, and
expected return of the equity funds and portfolios as well as the market. After that,
the performance of the funds and four types of portfolios will be measured and
compared � based on the performance measurement indexes: Sharpe, Treynor,
and Jensen index � one to another as well as to the market performance.
The result of this study shows that there is enough evidence that: selective
portfolios that are based on the combination of P/E ratio and PBV perform better
than P/E-ratio-based selective portfolios |
