We study standard mutual fund performance measures, using simulated funds whose characteristics mimic actual funds.

متن کاملOutsourcing Mutual Fund Management: Firm Boundaries, Incentives and Performance

We find that high style dispersions, especially that along the size dimension, are associated with superior fund performance, consistent with h...
