This study aims to determine what variables affect the performance of mutual funds found in the ASEAN5 countries namely the Philippines, Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia and Thailand. Mutual funds are an attractive and attainable investment vehicle, yet not much information is available to prospective investors. The ordinary least squares method will be used to determine which variables have a significant effect on mutual fund performance through quarterly data gathered from each of the ASEAN5 countries ranging from 2009 to 2014. The proponents of this study expect majority of the variables to have a significant effect, whether positive or negative, on the performance of mutual funds.
