Nordiska Fondbolags riskjusterade avkastning : En jämförelsestudie av fondbolag verkande inom tillväxtmarknader

The purpose of this paper is to examine and analyze past development of mutual funds in large and small mutual fund companies and see if there are any differences between these two segments. Limitations on the number of funds have been made by choosing Nordic mutual fund companies that invest in emerging markets over an 11-year period. The study is made on 66 mutual funds managed by 13 mutual fund companies in which the segment of small fund companies includes seven fund companies with assets under management less than 100 billion SEK and the segment of large mutual fund companies includes six fund companies with assets under management more than 400 billion SEK. In the comparison of the segments the Sharpe ratio has been used to calculate the risk-adjusted return. The study shows small differences of the risk-adjusted return between the segments. Results for the mutual fund companies in the minor segment indicate a more unequal risk-adjusted return compared to the major fund companies. Furthermore the results show that small fund companies alone can generate a higher return but that the larger fund companies' funds are a more stable investment in the longer run.
