APPLICATION OF INFORMATION RATIO IN COLLECTIVE INVESTMENT INSTITUTIONS

Abstract

The aim of this paper is to analyze whether information ratio (IR) is a good indicator for peer group performance (returns) of private pension funds, which are collective investment institutions. We employ annual data of IR and Peer Group Returns for the period between 2018 and 2021 for 12 standard funds that are the most significant part of private pension fund market with respect to total asset under management and also regulations. This study covers only standard pension funds in Voluntary Participation System (IPS-Individual Pension System). Findings indicate that for the years 2018, 2019, 2020 and 2021, there is no significant relation between ‘Peer-Group Return Ranking’ and ‘Information Ratio Value Rankings’ for IPS-Standard Funds. The paper suggests that although IR is a pivotal performance indicator, this ratio should not be considered as the single criterion -especially while reporting the performance of the pension funds-.
