The capital market as a mirror of economy has different functions. One is to improve liquidity in themarket, which provides security for investors. Financial innovations for managing risks are aim toachieve this goal. Accordingly, various kinds of funds have been designed to collect money fromnonprofessional investors in order to reduce risk and make a profit. In this study, we gathered datafrom 13 authorized mutual funds during a 65-week period . To examine the effect of variables on fundreturns, the Fama-MacBeth multilateral regression model was used. The parameters were estimatedusing a mixed panel-data model. Seven fundamental hypotheses were tested; three were disproved;and the rest were confirmed. The results show a meaningful and positive correlation between funds’ex-fluctuations of returns, last period return, age, assets turnover rate, and acquired return. However,no positive or meaningful correlation was found between assets under funds managers’ control, fundfees and charges, rate of injection of new money to funds, and the funds’ acquired returns Manuscript profile

One of the most important investment options in Iran is the Mutual Fund. In order to select a number of successful mutual funds, their performance in specific period of time should be appraised. In this regard, a number of measures are used for evaluating their performance, including the moderns and post moderns methods. In this work, the persistence in mutual funds’ performance is surveyed using momentum strategy (i.e. post modern strategy). The studied sample included 35 mutual funds in the period of 1390to1395 (Persian calendar). The yield of each mutual fund is calculated and compared in pairs for different time periods (e.g. 3, 6, 9 and 12 months). Afterward, the obtained yield values analyzed using the correlation and regression techniques. Based on the obtained results, it can be concluded that based on the momentum strategy, for the time periods of 3, 6 and 9 months, persisted performance could be observed for all investigated mutual funds. However, for the time period of 12 month such persistence couldn’t be observed. Consequently, it can be concluded that the momentum technique Can not be used for studying the persistence of mutual funds in a 12 months fiscal year. Manuscript profile

This study is aimed to investigate the effect of the 5 personality phases of managers of mutual funds in dealing with smart money by using the structural equation model. Meanwhile, managers' financial intelligence has also been examined as a moderating variable. This survey is carried out by collecting statistics from all mutual funds. This analysis was carried out in 1399 and all data have been collected from mutual funds during that time. Five studied phases of personality are: Hypomania, Psychopathic Deviate, Psychasthenia, Paranoia, Depression.The results show that out of the five personality phases studied, four of them have a significant relationship with smart money and there is no significant relationship between only one personality phase and smart money. Also, the moderating role of financial intelligence was accepted only concerning one type of personality phase( Hypomania,) and concerning the other four personality phases(Psychopathic Deviate, Psychasthenia , Paranoia, Depression), the effect of the moderating variable was not confirmed.

An investment manager puts the investment fund in a stable position before the market rises and falls. With this approach, in this study, an attempt has been made to model the factors affecting the timing of liquidity in Iranian mutual funds using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM). To achieve this goal, the required information was collected by survey and by designing a questionnaire from investors, experts and specialists in the Iranian capital market for the year 2020. Based on the results, external factors (with a path coefficient of 0.281) and internal factors (with a path coefficient of 0.419) have a significant effect on the timing of liquidity in mutual funds. The larger the coefficient of the path of internal factors indicates the fact that these factors have a stronger effect on the liquidity timing of mutual funds than external factors. Finally, the variables of interest rates on deposits, parallel market and stock returns, inflation rate, oil revenues, economic growth and political developments are external factors that respectively with path coefficients 0.786, 0.827, 0.664, 0.506, 0.582 and 0.404 and the variables of fund management ability and skill, relative life and size of the fund, net value and percentage of cash assets of the fund, return, profitability and capital expenditures of the fund, risks facing the fund and the number of industries in the fund's investment portfolio are intra-corporate factors that respectively with path coefficients 0.756, 0.426, 0.736, 0.553, 0.767 and 0.580, have a significant effect on the liquidity scheduling of mutual funds.

Demand for investment in mutual funds can be measured as the total net cash flows experienced by the fund during a period. On the other hand, many authors estimate the net cash flows using fund size and return information. This method provides a good estimate of cash flows. Therefore, two methods can be used to calculate net cash flows and analyze the factors affecting each of them. This study uses monthly data from 41 mutual funds from February 2012 to October 2017 using a panel method to test hypothesizes. The results show that the implicit flows are an appropriate measure for estimating net cash flows, but there are a few errors in its calculations. The results also indicate that variables such as returns, risk and lagged cash flows have a significant effect on investors' demands for investment funds. Manuscript profile

Mutual funds are professional finance institutions which have invested in securities, by investors’ payments, while enjoying the professional management as well as decrease in non-systemic risk. On the other hand, investors require some approaches to evaluate the performance of mutual funds including, data envelopment analysis as a multi-purpose decision making method. Efficient and inefficient companies may be specified by this method, as well as a reference to achieve the efficiency limit for inefficient companies. This research aims to evaluate efficiency of mutual funds by the method of data envelopment analysis. The interval is begun from 2018 until the end of the spring of 2020 and all stock mutual funds form the statistical society. Also 35 mutual funds is a statistical sample. The results show meaningful correlation between obtained efficiency by the method of data envelopment analysis and the real output of mutual funds. So data envelopment analysis is a suitable method to evaluate efficiency of mutual funds. The results indicate that increase in total assets of mutual funds enhance their efficiency. But the age of mutual funds does not affect their efficiency. Manuscript profile

During the last few years, the extraordinary explosion experienced by fundraising organizations or investment companies purchasing other companies's stocks has led the responsible organizations for controlling these investments to apply some risk-based management guidelines. But the flexibility of this issue raises a lot of questions regarding the selection of the most accurate and most appropriate estimation model. The aim of this paper is to calculate the value at risk of mutual funds in Iran using fractional modeling. In this study, using the parametric method, we compute value at risk. Firstly, the variance is considered to be a constant value and then conditional ones (Arch and Garch models), finally, using the fractional modeling, we calculate and take into account it in the parametric method to find the best way to predict possible losses of the investment fund files. Consequently, according to the nonparametric, Kupiec, Christopherson and Hendricks tests, value at risk method is applicable for evaluating the performance of investment funds. On the other hand, the Garch and Figarch methods are capable of receiving %97.5 and %99 confidence levels and their results are acceptable in terms of statistics. Therefore, as a general result: the two methods stated to calculate value at risk of investment funds can be used for predicting the risk of these funds. Manuscript profile

Due to the continuous cash flow of Open-End mutual funds, liquidity risk is the most important risk of this financial institution. The main challenge of managing the liquidity of these funds is to provide cash in the event of a crisis and to face redemption requests. Fund run and the pressure to finance and sell assets will transfer costs and possibly leave a portfolio of less liquid assets for the remaining investors.it is necessary to use liquidity management tools to control the repurchase pressure, share costs fairly and protect the interests of remaining investors.while reviewing and introducing common liquidity risk management tools of this industry in the world, the need to provide the possibility of using any of these tools for fixed income funds and stocks, the possibility of using any tool in normal and / or special conditions, and the necessity / non-necessity of approval of the use of the tool by the regulator before use, as the three key components of the use of these tools, has been deliberately fuzzily consulted by experts. After sending the questionnaire and during the two stages of the survey, a final agreement was reached by the experts on the use of Swing Pricing and Anti-Dilution Levy in any situation and at the discretion of fund managers and the use of Redemptions In-kind, Redemption Gates, and Suspension of Redemptions in special circumstances and with the approval of the regulator.

In analyzing relative performance, especially at the institutional level, the traditional data envelopment analysis models do not recognize vastly different and important activities as separate functions and therefore cannot identify which function may be the main source of inefficiency. Mutual fund families are a group of mutual funds that are established through one investment company. The aim of this paper is to evaluate the relative performance of 18 mutual fund families in Iran during the years 1396 and 1397, by implementing a two-stage DEA model that decomposes the overall efficiency of each decision making unit into two components of operational management efficiency and portfolio management efficiency. The results show that by decomposing the overall efficiency into two components, one can determine mutual funds with good performance from those of bad or poor performance. Also, the frontier projections of mutual fund families with poor performance is calculated in order to help management in managing the relative performance of each family. According to assessment results of 18 mutual fund families in Iran, they have poor performance in operational management which means that management of costs of the funds is poor. Manuscript profile

The mutual funds industry has recently grown drastically and is now considered as an alternative channel investment in financial markets. Many of these funds are relatively risky in that for higher returns they aim to select growth companies which are expected to post large stock price increases. There are many traditional indices to assess the relationship between returns and risks in financial economics. The main drawback of these indices is being one-dimensional. This paper is to introduce and apply a new multi-criteria method based upon multi-directional inefficiency analysis to assess the relationship between return and risk and to measure risk excesses of a sample of Iranian mutual funds in the year 2010. The findings of this study show that the sampled founds can acquire the same returns by merely accepting 66 and 64 per cent of the received unsystematic and systematic risks, respectively.

Despite the large number of mutual funds available to investors, paying attention to their ratings is important. Many ranking approaches use subjective weights to integrate fund performance across different time horizons, which can lead to completely different ranking.So far, the efficiency of the funds has been calculated in the valuation of the funds with the help of data envelopment analysis, and then the portfolio is selected from the efficient funds. In this paper, a new approach and application of the philosophy of data envelopment analysis (input reduction and output increase) is applied and generalized to the concept of risk and return. The proposed model is a new nonparametric technique that focuses on the simultaneous estimation of contractile (risk) and expansion (return) potentials. This approach eliminates any need for mental such as the importance, weighting, and meaningfulness of actions across different time horizons. This approach, based on the performance of the underlying fund relative to other funds, assigns a score to the underlying fund, on which it can rank the funds.This model has been applied to a sample community of 26 mutual funds. The clear results and unique ratings indicate the ability of this model to evaluate and ranking. Manuscript profile

Mutual funds are one of the types of financial intermediaries, including institutions that sell their investment unit to the public, raise funds and invest them in a variety of securities. However, managing mutual funds is fraught with complexities and difficulties that arise from achieving optimal returns and cash flow management as the most important management criteria. Market scheduling, meanwhile, is an important dimension for mutual funds. With this approach, in this study, an attempt has been made to identify and rank the factors affecting the timing of liquidity in Iranian mutual funds. The results of the study showed that the returns of parallel markets and stocks (weighing 0.206), bank interest rates (weighing 0.194) and political developments (weighing 0.193) are the most important external and macroeconomic factors that affect liquidity and liquidity timing in mutual funds. In addition, among the internal factors, the three variables of ability and management skills of the fund (weighing 0.206), net value and percentage of cash assets of the fund (weighing 0.1734) and the risks facing the fund (weighing 0.1726) are the most They have had an impact on liquidity and the timing of liquidity in mutual funds.
