Notes
- Abstract:
- This thesis examines the performance of a preselected group of disciplined value-oriented mutual funds over the period 2003-2012. We compare the returns of these funds with those of the S&P 500 over the same period using regressions of both the CAPM and a two-factor model incorporating a covariant for the observed value premium. Our results find that disciplined value-oriented funds generate superior risk-adjusted returns both before and after fees. We also study the discrepancy between the performance of disciplined value-oriented funds and the performance of the broader universe of mutual funds by considering raw (non-risk adjusted) outperformance versus underperformance as a Bernoulli process with parameters given by performance of the universe of mutual funds relative to the S&P 500. Our results suggest that disciplined value-oriented funds outperform the market much more consistently than the average mutual fund.
