摘要
This article analyzes the total and disaggregated performance of the specialized type of mutual fund called asset allocation funds. These funds reportedly move assets in and out of different market sectors according to signals emitted by various market indicators. Weekly data results for individual funds indicate that such funds have some stock selection ability, but this result is not observed when monthly data are examined. We find no evidence to support the notion that these types of funds excel in the timing of market movements. Finally, the Sharpe and Treynor conventional performance measures demonstrate that the total performance of these funds is inferior in comparison to the market portfolio.
