Abstract

Mutual fund is an investment device that encourages investors, especially in developing countries like Pakistan, which highly depend on foreign aid. Fund structures and benefits attract many small investors for investment in funds. The aim of this study is to determine the performance of mutual funds in Pakistan. The performance is analyzed by three different measurement tools i.e., Sharp ratio, Treynor ratio and Fama decomposition measures. This study covers the period from 2012 to 2022 and determines the performance of 27 funds, of which 20 are conventional funds and seven are Islamic mutual funds. Results prove that conventional funds performed better than Islamic funds. Fund selection was better than fund diversification. Fund cannot diversify properly. Pre covid performance of funds was better than post covid. It depicts that the covid 19 hit mutual fund industry badly.
