The small savings of all the investors are put together to increase the buying power and hire a professional manager to invest and monitor the money. As a result of large number of funds, selecting funds can be particularly challenging and difficult. Investors are therefore, increasingly concerned about fund selection and require detailed fund comparisons and advice. The present study focus on the comparison of select funds using Sharpe s and Tryenor s model and ranking accordingly. Keywords: Mutual Funds, Investment, Return, Risk, Sharpe s Model,....

It was found that some of the top ranked equity Following are the some of the income funds and equity growth funds showed genuine stock picking skills, where as such ability was not found among small stock funds and general equity funds. It was also found that positive performance was attributable to luck. Objectives of the Study: 1. To evaluate the performance of select mutual fund schemes offered in India using measures of Sharpe s index and Treynor s index. 2. To compare and rank the performance of mutual funds. Literature Review A risk- adjusted measure of portfolio performance was used to estimate how much a manager s forecasting ability contributes to fund s return (Michael C. Jensen, 1967). (Turan M.S., et al, 2001) evaluated the performance of 54 listed schemes of mutual funds belonging to UTI, private and public sectors using risk adjusted return measures of Sharpe and Treynor and Jensen. The study concluded that fund managers adopt defensive strategy for portfolio management and the mutual fund industry had failed miserably. Research Methodology: For the purpose of the study, secondary data was used. To evaluate the performance of mutual funds three schemes were selected. The three schemes are: equity funds, MIP funds, balanced funds. Funds offered by different companies and institutions from each category were selected to analyze and compare. The various tools used for the study are average return, standard deviation, beta, and the performance measurement tools Sharpe index and Treynor index. Treasury bills return was considered as risk free return. One year time period was considered for the evaluation of performance of mutual funds. The funds were chosen randomly from the available ones. The Models: B. Suryanarayana Reddy Page No.5

It is defined as St = R p - R f where Rp Avereage return to portfolio Rf Risk free rate of interest Deviation Sharpe s performance index gives a single value to be used for the performance ranking of various funds or portfolios. Sharpe index measures the risk premium of the portfolio relative to the total amount of risk in the portfolio. The risk premium is the difference between the portfolio s average rate of return and the risk less rate of return. The standard deviation of the portfolio indicates the risk. Ty = R p - R f Equity Fund: Sharpe s model Average return for 2006 to 2011 (annualized return) where Rp- Average return to portfolio Rf- Risk less rate of interest, Beta coeffecient According to Jack Treynor s, systematic risk or beta is the appropriate measure of risk as suggested by capital asset pricing model. The Treynor s measure realtes to the excess return on a portfolio to the portfolio beta. It reflects the excess return earned per unit of risk. This measure implicity assumes that the portfolio is well diversified. (ref:prassana chandra)treynor ratio is based on the concept of characteristic line. Characteristic line gives the relation between a given market return and fund s return. The fund s performance is measured in relation to market performance.
