ABSTRACT
The present paper investigates the performance of 29 open-ended, growth-oriented equity
schemes for the period from April 2005 to March 2011 (six years) of transition economy.
Monthly NAV of different schemes have been used to calculate the returns from the fund
schemes. BSE-sensex has been used for market portfolio. The historical performance of the
selected schemes were evaluated on the basis of Sharpe, Treynor, and Jensen’s measure whose
results will be useful for investors for taking better investment decisions. The study revealed that
14 out of 29 (48.28 percent) sample mutual fund schemes had outperformed the benchmark
return. The results also showed that some of the schemes had underperformed, these schemes
were facing the diversification problem. In the study, the Sharpe ratio was positive for all
schemes which showed that funds were providing returns greater than risk free rate. Results of
Jensen measure revealed that 19 out of 29 (65.52 percent) schemes were showed positive alpha
which indicated superior performance of the schemes.
KEYWORDS: Jensen measure, Mutual funds, performance evaluation, Sharpe measure,
Treynor measure.

I. INTRODUCTION
Many of the financial instruments mutual fund is one of the most attractive financial investment
instrument that plays a vital role in the economy of a country. Mutual fund schemes provides
new opportunities for investors. Mutual fund Industry was introduced in India 1963 with the
formation of Unit Trust of India. During the last few years many extraordinary and rapid changes
have been seen in the Mutual fund industry. Therefore, due to the changed environment it
becomes important to investigate the mutual fund performance. The need for evaluating the
performance of mutual fund schemes in India to see whether the mutual fund schemes are
outperforming or underperforming than the benchmark and to see the competency of schemes to
make out a strong case for investment. The present paper investigates the performance of open-
ended, growth-oriented equity schemes. Open-ended mutual fund schemes are those which don’t
have a fixed maturity, not listed in the stock exchange and these schemes offer new unit for sale
and ready to buy any time. The success of any scheme depends upon the competence of the

management and its soundness. The numbers of open-ended schemes have been increased from
the last few years except 2009 (see table 1). The reason may be of decreasing open-ended
schemes in March 2009 are the global financial crisis. According to AMFI (March 2011), there
were about 1095 schemes in India, out of which 727 (66.39%) were open-ended. The growth of
open-ended and close-ended mutual fund schemes in percentage term are presented in Table 1.

II. LITERATURE REVIEW
The present study deals with the review of literature on ‘Evaluating the Performance of Indian
Mutual Fund Schemes’. A number of studies on evaluating the performance of Indian Mutual
Fund Schemes have been conducted in India and foreign countries. Review of some of the
studies is presented in the following discussion: -
Jayadev (1996) evaluated the performance of two growth-oriented mutual funds namely
Mastergain and Magnum express by using monthly returns. Jensen, Sharpe and Treynor
measures have been applied in the study and the pointed out that according to Jensen and
Treynor measure Mastergain have performed better and the performance of Magnum was poor
according to all three measures. Afza and Rauf (2009) in their study of open-ended Pakistani
mutual funds performance using the quarterly data for the period of 1996-2006. The study
measure the fund performance by using Sharpe ratio with the help of pooled time-series and
cross sectional data and also focused on different attributes such as fund size, expenses, age,
turnover and liquidity. The results found significant impact on fund performance. Debasish
(2009) studied the performance of selected schemes of mutual funds based on risk and return
models and measures. The study covered the period from April 1996 to March 2005 (nine years).
The study revealed that Franklin Templeton and UTI were the best performers and Birla Sun life,
HDFC and LIC mutual funds showed poor performance. Ali, Naseem and Rehman (2010) in

their study examined the performance of 10 mutual funds in which 5 were conventional and 5
were Islamic for the period from 2006 to 2008 by using Sharpe and Treynor measures. The
results found that the funds of Pakistan were able to add more value either conventional or
Islamic. The study also found that some of the funds were underperformed, so these funds were
facing diversification problems during the study period. Garg (2011) examined the performance
of top ten mutual funds that was selected on the basis of previous years return. The study
analyzed the performance on the basis of return, standard deviation, beta as well as Treynor,
Jensen and Sharpe indexes. The study also used Carhart’s four-factor model for analyze the
performance of mutual funds. The results revealed that Reliance Regular Saving Scheme Fund
had achieved the highest final score and Canara Robeco Infra had achieved the lowest final score
in the one year category. Sondhi and Jain (2010) examined the market risk and investment
performance of equity mutual funds in India. The study used a sample of 36 equity fund for a
period of 3 years. The study examined whether high beta of funds have actually produced high
returns over the study period. The study also examined that open-ended or close ended
categories, size of fund and the ownership pattern significantly affect risk-adjusted investment
performance of equity fund. The results of the study confirmed with the empirical evidence
produced by fama (1992) that high beta funds (market risks) may not necessarily produced high
returns. The study revealed that the category, size and ownership have been significantly
determinant of the performance of mutual funds during the study period. Prabakaran and Jayabal
(2010) evaluated the performance of mutual fund schemes. The study conducted a sample of 23
schemes were chosen as per the priority given by the respondents in Dharmapuri district covered
a period from April 2002 to March 2007. The study used the methodology of Sharpe, Jensen and
Fama for the performance evaluation of mutual funds. The results of the study found that 13
schemes out of 23 schemes selected had superior performance than the benchmark portfolio in
terms of Sharpe ratio, 13 schemes had superior performance of Treynor ratio and 14 schemes had
superior performance according to Jensen measure. The Fama’s measure indicated in the study
that the returns out of diversification were less. Thus the India Mutual funds were not properly
diversified.
OBJECTIVES OF THE STUDY
The present study is concerned with the following objectives:
1. To examine the performance of selected schemes on the basis of risk and return and
compare the performance of selected schemes with benchmark index to see whether the
scheme is outperforming or underperforming the benchmark.
2. To examine the performance of selected schemes by using the portfolio performance
evaluation models namely Sharpe, Treynor and Jensen.
III. RESEARCH METHODOLOGY
To examine the mutual fund schemes performance, 29 schemes were selected at random basis.
Monthly NAV of different schemes have been used in this study for the period of six years i.e.,
April 2005 to March 2011(six years). BSE-Sensex has been used for market portfolio. In the
study the monthly yield on 91-day Treasury bills have been used as risk-free rate. The study was

mainly secondary data based. Data regarding NAV were obtained from the web site of
www.mutualfundindia.com and www.amfiindia.com for the period of April 2005 to March
2011. Data for monthly closing price for the benchmark index (BSE-Sensex) were collected from
web site of Bombay Stock Exchange (www.bseindia.com).
RETURN: The monthly returns of the schemes were computed by using the following equation.
Rpt = NAVt – NAVt-1/ NAVt-1
Where, Rpt is return on fund scheme, NAVt is the Net Asset value of the scheme at the end of
‘t’, NAVt-1 is Net Asset value of the scheme at the end of the month ‘t-1’.
The average return of the market portfolio is computed as follows:
p
R =
n
t
pt

Where, Rp is the average return of the mutual fund schemes.
Similarly, the monthly returns for the market index were calculated by using the following
formula:
Rmt = Market Indext – Market Indext-1/ Market Indext-1
Where, Rmt return of the market index, Market Indext is the Market value of the index at the end
of ‘t’, Market index of t-1 is the market value of the scheme at the end of the month ‘t-1’.
The average return of the market index is computed as follows:

percent) sample mutual fund schemes had outperformed the benchmark return. It shows
competency of these schemes to make out a strong case for investment. The maximum return
was from HDFC equity growth fund and minimum return was from Principal Growth fund
growth. In the context of risk, it found from the table 2 that 14 schemes had less risky than
market risk and remaining 15 schemes have risk greater than the market risk.
In the context of beta, it is observed from the table 2 that out of 29 schemes, only 5 schemes have
registered a beta value greater than one indicated that they belonged to more risk category. The
remaining 24 schemes have registered beta less than one which indicated that they belonged to
low risk category. R square measure the level of diversification. It also found from the table 2
that the highest R square value was found in Baroda Pioneer Growth Fund-Growth (0.940)
followed by HDFC Top 200 Growth (0.935) and Franklin India Blue Chip-Growth (0.933)
which indicated that these schemes have performed well diversification.

FREQUENCY DISTRIBUTION OF RISK, RETURN, BETA AND COEFFICIENT OF
DETERMINATION (R SQUARE)
A frequency distribution of risk, return, beta and coefficient of determination (R square) of
selected schemes has been prepared (see table 3) because frequency distribution explains
comparative status of different mutual fund schemes selected for the study during the study
period. To sum up, it may be concluded through a mutual fund sample schemes in the study that
only return of 11 schemes fell in the range of 0.02-0.03 (37.93 percent), which indicated that
these schemes are able to earn higher returns and 18 schemes fell in the range of 0.01-0.02
(62.07 percent) and none schemes fell in the range of < 0.01 during the study period.

SHARPE AND TREYNOR MEASURES
Table 4 represents the result of Sharpe measure and Treynor measure. It is observed from the
table 4 that higher positive value of Sharpe measure was found in HDFC Top 200 Growth
(0.00224) which followed by DSP Black rock Top 100 Equity Fund Growth (0.00219) and
Franklin India Blue Chip Growth (0.00198). In the study, the Sharpe ratio was positive for all
schemes which showed that funds were providing returns greater than risk free rate. It also found
from the table that 16 out of 29 (55.17 percent) schemes have better Sharpe ratios in comparison
to the benchmark portfolios.
In the context of Treynor measure, it is revealed for the table 4 that 19 schemes, out of 29 had
outperformed the benchmark. UTI equity fund growth is the top performer of the equity
schemes. In case of comparative ranking of Sharpe and Treynor measure, it found that 11
schemes out of 29 schemes had exactly same ranking for both Sharpe and Treynor measure and
other schemes had not same ranking the reason may be of that Sharpe measure use total risk and
Treynor measure use systematic risk.

Monthly NAV of different schemes have been used to calculate the returns from the fund schemes. BSE-sensex has been used for market portfolio. The historical performance of the selected schemes were evaluated on the basis of Sharpe, Treynor, and Jensen’s measure whose results will be useful for investors for taking better investment decisions. The study revealed that 14 out of 29 (48.28 percent) sample mutual fund schemes had outperformed the benchmark return. The results also showed that some of the schemes had underperformed, these schemes were facing the diversification problem. In the study, the Sharpe ratio was positive for all schemes which showed that funds were providing returns greater than risk free rate. Results of Jensen measure revealed that 19 out of 29 (65.52 percent) schemes were showed positive alpha which indicated superior performance of the schemes. KEYWORDS: Jensen measure, Mutual funds, performance evaluation, Sharpe measure, Treynor measure. ______________________________________________________________________________ I. INTRODUCTION Many of the financial instruments mutual fund is one of the most attractive financial investment instrument that plays a vital role in the economy of a country. Mutual fund schemes provides new opportunities for investors. Mutual fund Industry was introduced in India 1963 with the formation of Unit Trust of India. During the last few years many extraordinary and rapid changes have been seen in the Mutual fund industry. Therefore, due to the changed environment it becomes important to investigate the mutual fund performance. The need for evaluating the performance of mutual fund schemes in India to see whether the mutual fund schemes are outperforming or underperforming than the benchmark and to see the competency of schemes to make out a strong case for investment. The present paper investigates the performance of open- ended, growth-oriented equity schemes. Open-ended mutual fund schemes are those which don’t have a fixed maturity, not listed in the stock exchange and these schemes offer new unit for sale and ready to buy any time. The success of any scheme depends upon the competence of the

The numbers of open-ended schemes have been increased from the last few years except 2009 (see table 1). The reason may be of decreasing open-ended schemes in March 2009 are the global financial crisis. According to AMFI (March 2011), there were about 1095 schemes in India, out of which 727 (66.39%) were open-ended. The growth of open-ended and close-ended mutual fund schemes in percentage term are presented in Table 1. TABLE 1.

LITERATURE REVIEW The present study deals with the review of literature on ‘Evaluating the Performance of Indian Mutual Fund Schemes’. A number of studies on evaluating the performance of Indian Mutual Fund Schemes have been conducted in India and foreign countries. Review of some of the studies is presented in the following discussion: - Jayadev (1996) evaluated the performance of two growth-oriented mutual funds namely Mastergain and Magnum express by using monthly returns. Jensen, Sharpe and Treynor measures have been applied in the study and the pointed out that according to Jensen and Treynor measure Mastergain have performed better and the performance of Magnum was poor according to all three measures. Afza and Rauf (2009) in their study of open-ended Pakistani mutual funds performance using the quarterly data for the period of 1996-2006. The study measure the fund performance by using Sharpe ratio with the help of pooled time-series and cross sectional data and also focused on different attributes such as fund size, expenses, age, turnover and liquidity. The results found significant impact on fund performance. Debasish (2009) studied the performance of selected schemes of mutual funds based on risk and return models and measures. The study covered the period from April 1996 to March 2005 (nine years). The study revealed that Franklin Templeton and UTI were the best performers and Birla Sun life, HDFC and LIC mutual funds showed poor performance. Ali, Naseem and Rehman (2010) in
  • 3. IRJC International Journal of Marketing, Financial Services & Management Research Vol.1 Issue 7, July 2012, ISSN 2277 3622 www.indianresearchjournals.com 69 their study examined the performance of 10 mutual funds in which 5 were conventional and 5 were Islamic for the period from 2006 to 2008 by using Sharpe and Treynor measures. The results found that the funds of Pakistan were able to add more value either conventional or Islamic. The study also found that some of the funds were underperformed, so these funds were facing diversification problems during the study period. Garg (2011) examined the performance of top ten mutual funds that was selected on the basis of previous years return. The study analyzed the performance on the basis of return, standard deviation, beta as well as Treynor, Jensen and Sharpe indexes. The study also used Carhart’s four-factor model for analyze the performance of mutual funds. The results revealed that Reliance Regular Saving Scheme Fund had achieved the highest final score and Canara Robeco Infra had achieved the lowest final score in the one year category. Sondhi and Jain (2010) examined the market risk and investment performance of equity mutual funds in India. The study used a sample of 36 equity fund for a period of 3 years. The study examined whether high beta of funds have actually produced high returns over the study period. The study also examined that open-ended or close ended categories, size of fund and the ownership pattern significantly affect risk-adjusted investment performance of equity fund. The results of the study confirmed with the empirical evidence produced by fama (1992) that high beta funds (market risks) may not necessarily produced high returns. The study revealed that the category, size and ownership have been significantly determinant of the performance of mutual funds during the study period. Prabakaran and Jayabal (2010) evaluated the performance of mutual fund schemes. The study conducted a sample of 23 schemes were chosen as per the priority given by the respondents in Dharmapuri district covered a period from April 2002 to March 2007. The study used the methodology of Sharpe, Jensen and Fama for the performance evaluation of mutual funds. The results of the study found that 13 schemes out of 23 schemes selected had superior performance than the benchmark portfolio in terms of Sharpe ratio, 13 schemes had superior performance of Treynor ratio and 14 schemes had superior performance according to Jensen measure. The Fama’s measure indicated in the study that the returns out of diversification were less. Thus the India Mutual funds were not properly diversified. OBJECTIVES OF THE STUDY The present study is concerned with the following objectives: 1. To examine the performance of selected schemes on the basis of risk and return and compare the performance of selected schemes with benchmark index to see whether the scheme is outperforming or underperforming the benchmark. 2. To examine the performance of selected schemes by using the portfolio performance evaluation models namely Sharpe, Treynor and Jensen. III. RESEARCH METHODOLOGY To examine the mutual fund schemes performance, 29 schemes were selected at random basis. Monthly NAV of different schemes have been used in this study for the period of six years i.e., April 2005 to March 2011(six years). BSE-Sensex has been used for market portfolio. In the study the monthly yield on 91-day Treasury bills have been used as risk-free rate. The study was
  • 4. IRJC International Journal of Marketing, Financial Services & Management Research Vol.1 Issue 7, July 2012, ISSN 2277 3622 www.indianresearchjournals.com 70 mainly secondary data based. Data regarding NAV were obtained from the web site of www.mutualfundindia.com and www.amfiindia.com for the period of April 2005 to March 2011. Data for monthly closing price for the benchmark index (BSE-Sensex) were collected from web site of Bombay Stock Exchange (www.bseindia.com). RETURN: The monthly returns of the schemes were computed by using the following equation. Rpt = NAVt – NAVt-1/ NAVt-1 Where, Rpt is return on fund scheme, NAVt is the Net Asset value of the scheme at the end of ‘t’, NAVt-1 is Net Asset value of the scheme at the end of the month ‘t-1’. The average return of the market portfolio is computed as follows: p R = n t pt R n 1 1 Where, Rp is the average return of the mutual fund schemes. Similarly, the monthly returns for the market index were calculated by using the following formula: Rmt = Market Indext – Market Indext-1/ Market Indext-1 Where, Rmt return of the market index, Market Indext is the Market value of the index at the end of ‘t’, Market index of t-1 is the market value of the scheme at the end of the month ‘t-1’. The average return of the market index is computed as follows: m R = n t mt R n 1 1 RISK: Standard deviation is a measure of risk. The standard deviation of mutual fund schemes has been calculated as under: p = 2 ) ( 1 1 p R Rpt n ฀ p is risk of fund portfolio. The risk of the market has been calculated as under: m = 2 ) ( 1 1 m R Rmt n
  • 5. IRJC International Journal of Marketing, Financial Services & Management Research Vol.1 Issue 7, July 2012, ISSN 2277 3622 www.indianresearchjournals.com 71 ฀ m is risk of fund portfolio. Beta ) ( : Beta is the systematic risk. Beta is undiversificable in nature. It has been calculated by using this formula: Beta = m Rm Rp Cov 2 ) , ( Where, P is systematic risk the portfolio, cov (Rp, Rm) is covariance between the return of portfolio and market, m 2 is variance of market return. SHARPE MEASURE: William F. Sharpe (1966) had planned or invent an index of portfolio performance measure, namely Sharpe ratio. The formula for Sharpe measure is: Sharpe = p f p R R Where, Rp is return of mutual fund portfolio, Rf is risk free rate of return, p is standard deviation of the mutual fund portfolio. TREYNOR MEASURE: This measure was developed by Jack Treynor in 1965 is based on systematic risk and known as reward to volatility ratio. The formula for this measure is Treynor = 2 2 1 2 2 2 1 ( ) 1 m i f i m i ei i i i m i ei R R X Where, Rp is return of mutual fund portfolio, Rf is risk free rate of return, P is the systematic risk of the portfolio. JENSEN MEASURE: This measure developed by Michael Jensen. The formula for Jensen measure is: (Rp – Rf) = + ( Rm – Rf) + ep Where, Rp is return of mutual fund portfolio, Rf is risk free rate of return, P is the systematic risk of the portfolio, Rm is the return of benchmark portfolio. IV. RESULTS AND ANALYSIS RETURN, RISK, BETA AND COEFFICIENT OF DETERMINATION OF SAMPLE SCHEMES Table 2 represents the results of return, risk, beta and coefficient of determination of selected schemes with benchmark return and risk. It is clear from the table that 14 out of 29 (48.27
  • 6. IRJC International Journal of Marketing, Financial Services & Management Research Vol.1 Issue 7, July 2012, ISSN 2277 3622 www.indianresearchjournals.com 72 percent) sample mutual fund schemes had outperformed the benchmark return. It shows competency of these schemes to make out a strong case for investment. The maximum return was from HDFC equity growth fund and minimum return was from Principal Growth fund growth. In the context of risk, it found from the table 2 that 14 schemes had less risky than market risk and remaining 15 schemes have risk greater than the market risk. In the context of beta, it is observed from the table 2 that out of 29 schemes, only 5 schemes have registered a beta value greater than one indicated that they belonged to more risk category. The remaining 24 schemes have registered beta less than one which indicated that they belonged to low risk category. R square measure the level of diversification. It also found from the table 2 that the highest R square value was found in Baroda Pioneer Growth Fund-Growth (0.940) followed by HDFC Top 200 Growth (0.935) and Franklin India Blue Chip-Growth (0.933) which indicated that these schemes have performed well diversification.

It is observed from the table 4 that higher positive value of Sharpe measure was found in HDFC Top 200 Growth (0.00224) which followed by DSP Black rock Top 100 Equity Fund Growth (0.00219) and Franklin India Blue Chip Growth (0.00198). In the study, the Sharpe ratio was positive for all schemes which showed that funds were providing returns greater than risk free rate. It also found from the table that 16 out of 29 (55.17 percent) schemes have better Sharpe ratios in comparison to the benchmark portfolios. In the context of Treynor measure, it is revealed for the table 4 that 19 schemes, out of 29 had outperformed the benchmark. UTI equity fund growth is the top performer of the equity schemes. In case of comparative ranking of Sharpe and Treynor measure, it found that 11 schemes out of 29 schemes had exactly same ranking for both Sharpe and Treynor measure and other schemes had not same ranking the reason may be of that Sharpe measure use total risk and Treynor measure use systematic risk.

CONCLUSIONS The present paper investigates the performance of 29 open-ended, growth-oriented equity schemes for the period from April 2005 to March 2011 (six years) of transition economy. Monthly NAV of different schemes have been used to calculate the returns from the fund schemes. BSE-sensex has been used for market portfolio. The historical performance of the selected schemes were evaluated on the basis of Sharpe, Treynor, and Jensen’s measure whose results will be useful for investors for taking better investment decisions. Results of the study showed that that 14 out of 29 (48.27 percent) sample mutual fund schemes had outperformed the benchmark return. All the schemes have represented positive returns. From Sharpe ratio, it found that Sharpe ratio is 0.00163 as compared to market 0.00161 that shows better performance as compared to the market. From Treynor results, it found that 19 out of 29 schemes had outperformed the benchmark. The results also showed that some of the schemes had underperformed, these schemes were facing the diversification problem. In the study, the Sharpe ratio was positive for all schemes which showed that funds were providing returns greater than risk free rate. Results of Jensen measure revealed that 19 out of 29 (65.52 percent) schemes were showed positive alpha which indicated superior performance of the schemes.
