The variables discussed here are: the number of shareholders, the funds equity, time of existence (age), their administration and the performance fees. Through a sample of 216, we identified multimarket investment funds and the returns presented in the last 10 years. Thus, we performed regression tests (MQO and robust) based on two distinct models, one comprising the five variables studied and a second with analysis of these variables from four different groups. Statistical evidence was found to establish a relationship between fund equity and profitability, age and profitability in the model 1. In the model 2, only the construct fund assets presented some explanation for the four working groups, while the fund age variable had some explanatory power in two of the four working groups. The results are convergent with those obtained by Malaquias and Eid (2014) and Laes and Silva (2014), and the study of these characteristics helps to better understand the market of Multi-Market Investment Funds in Brazil. / Esta pesquisa analisa os Fundos de Investimento Multimercados brasileiros e tem o objetivo de estabelecer rela????es entre caracter??sticas desses fundos e seus respectivos retornos. As vari??veis aqui discutidas s??o: a quantidade de cotistas, o patrim??nio l??quido dos fundos, tempo de exist??ncia (idade), sua taxa de administra????o e a taxa de performance. Utilizando uma amostra de 216 fundos de investimento multimercados, identificaram-se os retornos apresentados nos ??ltimos 10 anos. Para tal, foram realizados testes de regress??o (MQO e robusta), com base em dois modelos distintos, o primeiro compreendendo as cinco vari??veis estudadas e o segundo com as mesmas, mas que foram analisadas em quatro diferentes grupos. Pelo modelo 1, foram encontradas evid??ncias estat??sticas para estabelecer rela????o entre patrim??nio do fundo e rentabilidade, idade e rentabilidade. Pelo modelo 2, apenas o patrim??nio dos fundos apresentou algum poder de explica????o para os quatro grupos de trabalho, enquanto a vari??vel idade do fundo apresentou algum poder de explica????o em dois dos quatro grupos de trabalho. Estes resultados est??o convergentes com aqueles obtidos por Malaquias e Eid (2014) e Laes e Silva (2014). O estudo destas caracter??sticas ajuda a compreender melhor o mercado de Fundos de Investimentos Multimercados no Brasil.
