EXECUTIVESUMMARY

Even as the stock markets have started maturing of age over the past one decade, the
growthofmutualfundinBangladeshhasbeenslow.Onlyrecentlytherehasbeenarushfornew
funds.Manybanksandfinancialinstitutionscontinuetointhequeuewithproposalsfortheirfunds.
Mutual fund is a fund under a trust. Investment in mutual fund is ideal for investors who do not
want to take risk because the fund is managed professionally and the collective investment is
diversified. The price of a closedend fund share is normally determined by the value of the
investmentinthefund.Therefore,themarketpriceofafundshareisoftenclosetopershareNAV.
However,thematurityofmutualfundsistakingitssweettimeandNAVsofmutualfundsarestill
notclosetotheirmarketvalueofsuchfunds.Itisseenthatmarketpriceofamutualfundsharecan
attimesbemuchhigherthantheirNAVjustify.So,forsmallinvestorschoosingasuitableoneisa
complexdecision.

Theobjectiveofthemystudyistofindoutthefactsandfiguresregardingtheperformance
of the selected mutual funds which can benefit the investor and fund manger in selecting better
investment by considering the risk return factor. In such a context, an attempt has been made to
studytheperformanceofselectedmutualfundbasedontheriskandreturnrelationship.Soinmy
study,Itriedtofindtheansweroftheabovequestionswhetherthenmutualfundsharesareover
valued or under value or rightly priced. Here I also tried show whether the return of the mutual
fundonthebasisclosepriceishigherornotthanthatonthebasisofNAV,whetherthemutualfund
isoverorunderperformingthemarket,whetherthepriceofmutualfundisstronglycorrelatedto
the NAV or to the market index, DGEN etc. For this analysis purpose, I have selected 12 mutual
fundsunder6differentAssetManagementCompanies.

In completing my study on mutual fund, at first I have calculated the mean return of the
mutual funds using the both price and NAV data. Then I have compared the mean mutual fund
returnthemeanmarketreturntoseewhetherthemutualfundsareoverorunderperformingthe
market.HereIhavefoundthatincaseofthepricereturn7mutualfundsareoverperformingand
incaseoftheNAVreturn,thereareonlytwomutualfundsoverperformingthemarket.

AftercalculatingtheTmeasure,8mutualfundsareoverperformingonpricereturnbasis
andincaseoftheNAVreturn;thereareonlytwomutualfundsoverperformingthemarket,where
oneofthesegeneratednegativereturn.Inthesameway,Smeasureshowsthatthereareonlytwo
mutual funds over performing the market on price return basis and three over perform on NAV
returnbasis,whereoneofthesegeneratednegativereturn.

Jensenalphashowedthatthisnofundmanagerwhocanearnsuperiorreturnonthebasis
ofbothpriceandNAV.Ontheotherhand,rsquareisthemeasurementofdegreeofdiversifications
on the mutual fund. So the higher the higher value of r square, the better the mutual fund is
diversified.Hereonthebasisofprice,onlyonemutualfundiswelldiversifiedandonthebasisof
NAV,thereisonelowdiversifiedmutualfund.

I also try to evaluate the fund mangers timing skill by using Treynor Mazuy model and
Henriksson & Merton model. Both Treynor Mazuy and Henriksson & Merton model shows three
fund managers have significant negative timing skill. That is the fund managers are not efficient
enoughtohandlethemutualfundefficientlywhichisalsovalidatedbylowerreturnperunitofrisk.
Themanagerswhohavenegativetimingskillhavethelowerreturnperunitofrisk.
By decomposing the actual mutual fund excess return, I determine the fund managers selection
skill.Onthebasisofthepricereturn,twofundmanagershavetheselectionskillandonthebasisof
theNAV,threefundmanagershavetimingskill.

By looking into the ratio of close price to NAV, we see that there are five fund are over
performing. By calculating the correlation coefficient between price and NAV; price and DGEN, I
have learnt that mutual fund price is highly positively correlated with DGEN, not to NAV., which
indicate the market inefficiency. That is the price of mutual fund share will increase if the DGEN
increaseswhethertheNAVisincreasingordecreasingisnotanymatter.

1.0INTRODUCTION

Mutual fund is a trust that pools the savings, which are then invested in capital market

instruments such as share, debentures and other securities. Recently the capital market of
Bangladesh is featured by a plethora of mutual fund scheme consisting of varying portfolio mix,
investment objective and expertise of professional management. For small investors choosing a
suitable one is a complex decision. The objective of the present study is to find out the facts and
figuresregardingtheperformanceoftheselectedmutualfundswhichcanbenefittheinvestorand
fundmangerinselectingbetterinvestmentbyconsideringtheriskreturnfactor.Insuchacontext,
anattempthasbeenmadetostudytheperformanceofselectedmutualfundbasedontheriskand
return relationship. Early studies on mutual fund included the several works of Jensen, Sharpe,
Treynorwhousedcapitalassetpricingmodeltocompareriskadjustedreturnoffundwiththatof
thebenchmarkmarketportfolio.ThefindingofSharpeandJensendemonstratedthatmutualfunds
under perform market indexes and suggest that the returns are not sufficient to compensate the
investorfordiversemutualfundcharges.

The paper tries to present prominent performance evaluation models and examine
empiricallythemarkettimingandselectivityofasampleofmutualfunds.

2.1CONCEPTS&TERMINOLOGY:
Beforestartingourjourneytoevaluatethemutualfunds,heresomeofthebasicconceptand
terminologyareprovided.

2.1.1MUTUALFUND

Aninvestmentvehiclethatismadeupofapooloffundscollectedfrommanyinvestorsforthe
purposeofinvestinginsecuritiessuchasstocks,bonds,moneymarketinstrumentsandsimilarassets.
Mutualfundsareoperatedbymoney managers,whoinvestthefund'scapitalandattemptto produce
capitalgainsandincomeforthefund'sinvestors.Amutualfund'sportfolioisstructuredandmaintained
tomatchtheinvestmentobjectivesstatedinitsprospectus.

One of the main advantages ofmutual funds is that they givesmall investors access
toprofessionallymanaged,diversifiedportfoliosofequities,bondsandothersecurities,whichwouldbe
quitedifficult(ifnotimpossible)tocreatewithasmallamountofcapital.Eachshareholderparticipates
proportionallyinthegainorlossofthefund.Mutualfundunits,orshares,areissuedandcantypically
be purchased or redeemed as needed at the fund's current net asset value (NAV)per share, whichis
sometimesexpressedasNAVPS.

2.1.2THERISKFREERATE

The theoretical rate of return attributed to an investment with zero risk.The riskfree rate

representstheinterestonaninvestor'smoneythatheorshewouldexpectfromanabsolutelyriskfree
investmentoveraspecifiedperiodoftime.

In theory, the riskfree rate is the minimum return an investor should expect for any
investment,asanyamountofriskwouldnotbetoleratedunlesstheexpectedrateofreturnwasgreater
thantheriskfreerate.

In practice, however, the riskfree rate does not technically exist; even the safest investments
carryaverysmallamountofrisk.Thus,investorscommonlyusetheinterestrateonathreemonthU.S.
Treasury bill as a proxy for the riskfree rate becauseshortterm governmentissued securities have
virtuallyzeroriskofdefault.

2.1.3SYSTEMATICRISK

Systematic Risk is the risk inherent tothe entire market or entire market segment. It is
alsoknown as "undiversifiablerisk" or "market risk.. Interest rates, recession and wars all
representsources of systematic risk because they affect the entire market and cannot be avoided
throughdiversification.Whereasthistypeofriskaffectsabroadrangeofsecurities,unsystematicrisk

bybeinghedged.Evenaportfolioofwelldiversifiedassetscannotescapeallrisk

2.1.4UNSYSTEMATICRISK

Unsystematic Risk is the Company or industryspecific risk that is inherent in each


investment.The amount of unsystematic risk can be reduced through appropriate diversification.It is
alsoknownas"specificrisk","diversifiablerisk"or"residualrisk".Forexample,newsthatisspecifictoa

tangent.FromaCMLperspective,thisportfolioiscomposedentirelyoftheriskyasset,themarket,and
has no holding of the risk free asset, i.e., money is neither invested in, nor borrowed from the money
marketaccount.

2.1.6SECURITYMARKETLINE

Security Market Line is a line thatgraphs the systematic, or market,risk versus return of the

whole market at a certain time and shows all risky marketable securities. It is also referred to as the
"characteristicline".

The SMLessentially graphs the results from thecapital asset pricing model (CAPM) formula.
Thexaxis represents the risk (beta), and the yaxis represents the expected return. The market risk
premiumisdeterminedfromtheslopeoftheSML.

Thesecuritymarketlineisausefultoolindeterminingwhetheranassetbeingconsideredfora

If the security's risk versus expected return is plotted above the SML, it is undervaluedbecause the
investor can expect a greater return for the inherent risk.A security plotted below the SMLis

2.2PERFORMANCEEVALUATIONTOOLS:
Portfolioperformanceevaluationisakeyaspectoftheinvestmentdecisionprocess.Some

toolsofportfolioperformanceevaluationprovidethenecessaryinformationforinvestorstoassess
how effectively their money has been invested (or may be invested). One thing is important that
portfolio returns are only part of the story. Without evaluating riskadjusted returns, an investor
cannot possibly see the whole investment picture, which may inadvertently lead to clouded
investmentdecisions.

Many investors mistakenly base the success of their portfolios on returns alone. Few
consider the risk that they took to achieve those returns. Since the 1960s, investors have known
how to quantify and measure risk with the variability of returns, but no single measure actually
lookedatbothriskandreturntogether.Today,wehaveeightsetsofperformanceevaluationtools

2.2.2THESHARPEMEASURE(1966)

TheSharperatioisalmostidenticaltotheTreynormeasure,exceptthattheriskmeasureis

the standard deviation of the portfolio instead of considering only the systematic risk, as
represented by beta. Conceived by Bill Sharpe, This ratio measures the return of a portfolio in
excessoftheriskfreerate,alsocalledtheriskpremium,comparedtothetotalriskoftheportfolio,
measured by its standard deviation. It is drawn from the capital market line, and not the Capital
AssetPricingModel(CAPM).Thisratio,initiallycalledtherewardtovariabilityratio,isdefinedby:

Where:
E(RP)denotestheexpectedreturnoftheportfolio;
RFdenotesthereturnontheriskfreeasset;
(RP)denotesthestandarddeviationoftheportfolioreturns.

Sincethismeasureisbasedonthetotalriskoftheportfolio,madeupofthemarketriskand
theunsystematicrisktakenbythemanager,itenablesthe performanceofportfoliosthatarenot

portfolio that represents an individuals total investment. The higher the Sharpe measure, the
bettertheportfolio.

2.2.3MMEASURE:MODIGLIANIANDMODIGLIANI(1997)

ModiglianiandModigliani(1997)showedthattheportfolioanditsbenchmarkmusthave
the same risk to be compared in terms of basis points of riskadjusted performance. So they
proposethattheportfoliobeleveragedordeleveragedusingtheriskfreeasset.Theydefinedthe
followingmeasure:

Where,
(M/P)istheleveragefactor.
Mdenotestheannualizedstandarddeviationofthemarketreturns;
PdenotestheannualizedstandarddeviationofthereturnsoffundP;
RPdenotestheannualizedreturnoffundP;
RFdenotestheriskfreerate.

This measure evaluates the annualized risk adjusted performance (RAP) of a portfolio in
relation to the market benchmark, expressed in percentage terms. According to Modigliani and
Modigliani,thismeasureiseasiertounderstandbytheaverageinvestorthantheSharperatio.

Modigliani and Modigliani propose the use of the standard deviation of a broadbased
marketindex,suchastheS&P500,asthebenchmarkforriskcomparison,butotherbenchmarks
couldalsobeused.Forafundwithanygivenriskandreturn,theModiglianimeasureisequivalent
to the return the fund would have achieved if it had the same risk as the market index. The
relationship therefore allows us to situate the performance of the fund in relation to that of the
market.ThemostinterestingfundsarethosewiththehighestRAPvalue.

TheModiglianimeasureisdrawndirectlyfromthecapitalmarketline.Itcanbeexpressed
as the Sharpe ratio times the standard deviation of the benchmark index: the two measures are
directlyproportional.SoSharperatioandModiglianimeasureleadtothesamerankingoffunds.

Similarly, if the funds systematic risk falls below that of the market index (i < 1 ), the
procedure corresponds to a fictitious loan at the riskfree rate, amounting to some fraction di, in
ordertoincreaseinvestmentsintothefund(di>0).Thefractiondiiscalculatedasfollows:
di=((1/i)1)
The marketriskadjusted performance of fund i (MRAPi) is obtained by averaging the
returnofthemarketriskadjustedfund(MRAF):

RBdenotesthereturnonthebenchmarkportfolio.

Managersseektomaximizeitsvalue,i.e.toreconcileahighresidualreturnandalowtracking
error.Thisratioallowsustocheckthattherisktakenbythemanager,indeviatingfromthebenchmark,
issufficientlyrewarded.

The information ratio is an indicator that allows us to evaluate the managers level of
information compared to the public information available, together with his skill in achieving a
performancethatisbetterthanthatoftheaveragemanager.Asthisratiodoesnottakethesystematic
portfolio risk into account, it is not appropriate for comparing the performance of a welldiversified
portfoliowiththatofaportfoliowithalowdegreeofdiversification.

2.2.8EFFICIENCYRATIO

Toexplainhowthismeasureworks,weconsidertheaveragemeanreturnofamutualfund
and its standard deviation. Then we calculate the return per unit of risk for the mutual fund by
dividing the mean return by its standard deviation. In the same way, we calculate the return per
unitofriskformarket.Thenbycomparingthereturnperunit ofriskofthemutualfundwiththe
returnperunitofriskofmarket,wecandeterminewhetherthemutualfundisefficientlymanaged
ornot.

Again, we can rank the mutual funds in accordance of their return per unit of risk. The
higherthereturnperunitofriskis,thebetterthemutualfundis.

ThismodelusedaquadraticversionoftheCAPM,whichprovides uswithabetter
frameworkfortakingtheadjustmentsmadetotheportfoliosbetaintoaccount,andthus
for evaluating a managers market timing capacity. Managers who anticipate market
evolutionscorrectlywilllowertheirportfoliosbetawhenthemarketfalls.Theirportfolio
will thus depreciate less than if they had not made the adjustment. Similarly, when they

RFtdenotestherateoftheriskfreeassetoverthesameperiod.

TheP,PandPcoefficientsintheequationareestimatedthroughregression.IfP
is positive and significantly different from zero, we can conclude that the manager has
successfullypracticedamarkettimingstrategy.

TreynorandMazuy(1966)usingannualreturnsfor57openendmutualfunds,findthatthe
hypothesis of no market timing ability can be rejected with 95% confidence for only one of the
funds. This model was formulated empirically by Treynor and Mazuy (1966). It was then

theoreticallyvalidatedbyJensen(1972)andBhattacharyaandPfleiderer(1983).

2.4.2THEHENRIKSSONMERTONMODEL

Henriksson and Merton (1981) derive the statistical framework for both parametric and

nonparametric tests of markettiming ability. If the managers forecasts are observable, then the
nonparametric test can be used without further assumptions about the distribution of security
returns.

If the forecasts are not observable, then the parametric test can be used under the
assumptionofeitheraCAPMoramultifactorreturnstructure.Itconsistsofamodifiedversionof
the CAPM which takes the managers two risk objectives into account, depending on whether he
forecaststhatthemarketreturnwillorwillnotbebetterthantheriskfreeassetreturn.Themodel
ispresentedinthefollowingform:
RMFtRFt= +(RMtRFt)+Max[(RMt RFt),0]+t

The , and coefficients in the equation are estimated through regression. The
coefficient allows us to evaluate the managers capacity to anticipate market evolution. If is

Meanwhile, growth in money and credit is estimated to remain high in FY11, as it was in
FY10.Butas the global economy is yet to fully recover and struggling to attain the pre- recession

growth level, investment climate in Bangladesh continues to stagger as reflected in the


continuously high level of excess liquidity that piled up in the banking system from end-June
2007 to end-June 2009. Excess liquidity showed a decline since end-June 2010. It has further
declined in end-Sept10, showing that Bangladesh economy is responding to the recovery taking
place in developed countries. Again, both exports and imports rose in the first part of FY2011

9 CALCULATINGDIVIDEND
NowIpreparedaDividendDeclarationScheduletoreflectthetimeandpercentage
ofdividend(Cash,Bonus&RightShare)declaredforeachoftheselectedmutualfunds.

Then I determined the Cash Dividend Amount for each mutual funds for the time of
Dec2005toAug2011byusing (FaceValue*DeclaredCashDividendPercentage).These
schedulesaregiveninAppendix.

9 ADJUSTINGTHERIGHT&BONUSSHAREWITHUNADJUSTEDDATA
Toadjustthestockdividend,Ihavedividedthepriceofcumdividendmonth,whichis
the immediate month of exdividend month, by (1+Stock Dividend Rate). But in the month
when both stock and right share are offered and benefits are included in the price, then the
procedureforadjustmentinthecumdividendandrightwillbeasfollows:

=(((PricebeforeRight*1)+(RightPrice*(1+RightRatio))/(1+RightRatio))/(1+StockDividendRate))

Then I have found Stock Dividend and Right Adjusted Price and the result is
somehowlikebelow:

4.6CALCULATINGRISKFORMARKET&MUTUALFUNDS

MarketandmutualfundsriskismeasuredbyvarianceorstandarddeviationofMarketand
mutual funds returns. The variance/standard deviation of Market and mutual funds reflects not
onlythevariance/standarddeviationofthestocksinwhichmutualfundsinvestedtheirmoneybut
alsohowthereturnsonthestocksvaryalongwiththereturnofthemarket.Twomeasuresofhow
the returns on the stocks vary along with the return of the market are the covariance and the
correlationcoefficient.

4.6.1STANDARDDEVIATION
StandardDeviationisthesquarerootofvariance.Itisameasureofhowmuchspreador
variabilityispresentinthereturns.Ifthenumbersarewelldispersed,thestandarddeviationwill
tend to be large. To find out the dispersion among the returns, I have calculated the Standard
Deviation. Besides this, the calculation of Standard Deviation is used in many other cases. To
calculatethestandarddeviationofMarketandmutualfundsreturns,theformulais,

=STDEV(FirstReturn:LastReturn).

4.6.2HISTORICAL&ADJUSTEDBETA

HISTORICAL BETA: I have calculated Historical Beta using the Data Analysis command
under the menu bar Data in Microsoft Excel 2007. Then I selected the Regression command
andinputSpecificMutualFundreturnasYvariableandinputMarketreturnasXvariable.
Thenselecttheconfidencelevel95%andclickOKandafterthattheresultbecomeslikeasbelow
table.
Alternatively, I can have calculated the covariance between portfolio return and market
returnusingCOVAR(Arrayofmarketreturns:arrayofMutualFundreturns)formulaandvarianceof
market return using VARP (Array of market returns) formula. Using these I have calculated
HistoricalBetaofspecificmutualfundwiththeformula:

=(CovariancebetweenMutualFundreturnandmarketreturn/Varianceofmarketreturn).

AdjustedBeta:AftercalculatingthehistoricalBeta,IhavecalculatedtheadjustedBetaby
usingthefollowingformula:

M measure evaluates the annualized risk adjusted performance (RAP) of a portfolio in

relation to the market benchmark, expressed in percentage terms. The Modigliani measure is
drawn directly from the capital market line. It can be expressed as the Sharpe ratio times the
standard deviation of the benchmark index. So the two measures are directly proportional. So

INTERPRETATION:

From the table we can see that in case of monthly data consideration, the Mmeasure of
only two mutual funds i.e. 4th ICB and 1st BSRS is higher than that of market when we consider
monthly close price and when we consider monthly NAV then the Mmeasure of all the mutual
fundsexcept1stBSRSmutualfundislowerthanthatofmarket.Thatis1stBSRSistheonlymutual

fundsareeitherhigherorlowerthan1whichindicatesanimperfectdiversificationofthemutual
fund. That is why some of mutual price will provide higher return than market and other lower
returnthanmarket.

Againincaseofweeklydataconsideration,TheMmeasureofallthemutualfundsislower
than that of market when we consider monthly close price. The Mmeasures of all the mutual
funds, except Trust Bank 1st and DBH 1st mutual fund, are lower than that of market when we
consider monthly NAV. Here weekly NAV indicates that that Trust Bank 1st and DBH 1st mutual
fundshavearisklevellowerthanthemarketrisk.

that the portfolio is well diversified. Diversification means to reduce the amount of unsystematic
risk of a portfolio. R2 measures the level of diversification. R2 of the fund is expected to remain
within 0 to .99 while the benchmark index R2 is 1. Mutual funds selected for this study range R2

NowIamevaluatingthetimingskillundertwomodels.

5.2.1TREYNORANDMAZUYMODEL

Treynor and Mazuy add a quadratic term to the regression equation to test for market

timingability.InthestandardCAPMregressionequation,aportfoliosreturnisalinearfunctionof
the return on the market portfolio. However, they argued that if the investment manager can
forecastmarketreturns,hewouldholdagreaterportionofthemarketportfoliowhenthereturnon
the market is high, and a smaller proportion when the market return is low. Thus, the portfolio
returnwillbeanonlinearfunctionofthemarketreturn.

A positive and statistical significant value of P would imply positive market timing skill
becausethelasttermwillmakethecharacteristiclinesteeperas(RMtRFt)islarger.

To get the coefficient of timing skill, I first calculate excess market return, squared excess
market return and excess portfolio return. Then I regress the excess portfolio return on excess
market return, squared excess market return by using the Excel program and find the following

circumstances.

These two words are used to say that a price is too high or too low in regard to the
