讲座摘要: Abstract: Investing in mutual funds is very popular in the financial industry. How to select funds to achieve higher returns is important to investors. In this talk, we discuss evaluation of mutual fund performance by classical Sharpe ratio and two other modified Sharpe ratios based on the standard deviation and the Value-at-Risk from the family of asymmetric power distributions. We conduct empirical study on mutual fund performance using real data from north America and China markets. We also introduce two measures to compare theoretical rankings obtained by the Sharpe ratios and real rankings. Our results reveal that the theoretical rankings by using the two modified Shape ratios are closer to the real rankings than those obtained by the classical Sharpe ratio in most of the cases.
