Description
Summary:This study aims to learn if there is a significant difference in the risk and return performance of mutual funds and unit investment trust funds (UITF) based on their Treynor, Sharpe, and Jensen ratios. It also aims to see if there are significant differences in the risk and return performances of mutual funds and UITFs based on other factors such as the beta, alpha, and even the computed return of each portfolio. As proven through the tests conducted in the course of this study, there is no difference in the risk and return performance of the mutual funds and the UITFs. According to the Sharpe model, there is no significant difference between them with regard to their computed Sharpe ratio which used the risk and return for its computation. The Treynor model also shows the same results as that of the Sharpe ratio. The computation of the Treynor ratio also involves the risk and return of each portfolio. The Jensen model tried to prove if there is a significant difference between the return performance of the portfolio and of the market. Based on the significance testing, almost all of the portfolios outperformed the market aside from three portfolios which under performed the market.
