Abstract

In recent years, the investment fund industry has had a strong boost around the world, both in assets under management and in the number of funds and participants. This growth in supply and demand could be described as spectacular despite several crises in the financial markets during the last two decades. In this study, we examine and compare a sample of mutual funds across 35 countries for the 1990–2023 time period. The application of the efficiency ratios shows significant differences in efficiency among the evidence offered by the best-performing countries compared to those countries with the worst results. The fact that mutual funds obtain lower yield premiums compared to free-risk assets has originated a common situation of loss of performance efficiency at a global level. This phenomenon is shown by the three proposed indicators.

国际共同基金效率比较

近年来，投资基金业在全球范围内得到了蓬勃发展，无论是在管理资产方面，还是在基金和参与者的数量方面。尽管过去二十年间金融市场发生了数次危机，但这种供需增长仍堪称惊人。在本研究中，我们对 1990-2023 年期间 35 个国家的共同基金样本进行了研究和比较。效率比率的应用表明，与结果最差的国家相比，表现最好的国家提供的证据在效率方面存在显著差异。与自由风险资产相比，共同基金获得的收益溢价较低，这在全球范围内造成了业绩效率损失的普遍情况。这一现象可以从三个拟议指标中看出。
