Mutual Funds and Market Sample Clauses

Mutual Funds and Market. Return Comparison Stochastic dominance tests implicitly take into account the differences in expected returns and risk. While traditional performance evaluation tools take the standard deviation as a quantifier for risk, the stochastic dominance approach will consider standard deviation, skewness, kurtosis, and all higher moments for the evaluation. For example, we are interested in comparing asset A and asset B for investors with general utility assumptions. If asset A has a higher expected return than asset B, then asset A will be preferred if we only consider the mean and ignore the risk. However, if the higher expected return of asset A is due to its higher risk, then asset A would exhibit more extreme positive and negative returns. For investors with various preferences for risk and return trade-off, asset A may or may not be preferred. Thus, asset A will not stochastically dominate asset B. In this section, we apply the stochastic dominance test to compare the distri- butions of monthly market returns and mutual fund returns. Figure 1 shows the cumulative density function (CDF) of the realized equal weighted actively managed mutual fund returns and market returns from 1980-2015 and Figure 2 shows the CDF of the realized value-weighted actively managed mutual fund returns and market re- turns for the same time period. Inspection of the graph suggests no evidence of first order stochastic dominance as the two CDFs cross.
