The present study seeks to examine the markettiming performance of the open-ended income and growth mutual fund schemes' managers in India over the period from January 2001 to December 2011. The data for the proposed study are obtained from the website of Association of Mutual Funds in India (AMFI). Here, Treynor and Mazuy model is used. However, the empirical findings bring out that the market-timing performances of both types of schemes are not statistically significant. It is also observed from the analysis that eight schemes are statistically significant. Consequently, the average market-timing performance is also unsatisfactory for the income (0.007) as well as growth (-0.095) schemes. But, the mean test reveals that they are approximately equal performers. On the whole, owing to the insignificant market-timing performance, the fund managers of both types of schemes have failed to earn abnormal rate of return by applying the strategy of market outguessing from the volatile capital market. This speaks against the superior market-timing ability of the open-ended mutual fund managers in India.Keywords

This study has sought to examine the comparative performance of the open-ended gilt schemes of three types of companies which have been separated according to their ownership styles (Public sector, Indian private sector&foreign private sector). This study is related with financial recession that had been occurred in the year of 2008-2009 (January 2008 to February 2009). In this study the month end net asset values of the open-ended gilt mutual fund schemes have been taken into account and the data have been obtained from the website of Association of Mutual Funds in India (AMFI). This paper has examined the risk-adjusted performance, selectivity performance, diversification performance and market-timing performance of the open-ended gilt mutual fund schemes in the period of recession. In this study, Sharpe and Treynor measures have been applied to measure the risk-adjusted performance and along with these, different coefficients have been estimated to examine the selectivity, market-timing and diversification performances of the open-ended gilt schemes offered by Indian public&private sector mutual fund companies as well as the firms belonging to foreign private sector. It has been observed that the performance of the open-ended gilt schemes of different types of companies is not satisfactory during the recession period. However, the returns of all but one of the selected open-ended gilt schemes are seen to have been positive. However, the observed positive performances of the selected schemes are not statistically significant.Keywords

The study attempts to construct the optimum mutual fund portfolios by the open-ended mutual fund schemes (income&growth). The study also examines whether the newly constructed portfolios are able to reduce diversifiable risk and which type of mutual fund schemes is better. For the achievement of these objectives, monthly closing net asset values of the open-ended income and growth schemes have been considered and the data have been obtained from the website of Association of Mutual Funds in India (AMFI). Similarly, the yields of 7 years Gov. dated securities have been taken into account as the proxy of risk free rate and finally, the monthly index values of Bombay Sensitive index have been considered as market surrogate for this study. The study period has been considered from 2001 to 2010. It has been observed from the study that the diversifiable risk (unsystematic risk) of both types of schemes (Income&Growth) is in decline when new portfolios have been made. It has also been found that the unsystematic risk of the newly constructed portfolios of income as well as growth schemes is higher.Keywords
