Abstract
Purpose - Different types of funds exist depending on the assets
the portfolio is composed of. The main types of funds include; bond umbrella
funds, equity umbrella funds, precious metal umbrella fund, fund basket
umbrella funds, money market umbrella funds, participation umbrella fund,
balanced umbrella funds, free umbrella funds, guaranteed umbrella fund,
umbrella fund for protection purposes.The subject of our study is equity
umbrella funds. These kinds of funds receive at least 80% of the share of
investment by domestic and/foreign issuers. Purpose of this study is evaluating
the performance of 57 Turkish equity umbrella funds which operate continuously
between January 2012-December 2016 by using Morningstar rating system.
Methodology - The Morningstar (star) rating system, which has proven
to be an effective system for ranking mutual funds, has become the focus of
both academic work and applications. This system, developed by Morningstar,
ranks the performance results of mutual funds by assigning them 1 to 5 stars
according to their adjusted risks.
Findings - The results of the study reveal a lack of effective
management of the equity umbrella funds, and that they perform below Treasury
bond yields. The mutual funds, consequently, showed overall negative Morningstar
performance results. It was determined that while foreign equity weighted
mutual funds are more successful, mutual funds that invest in equity in the
index are not quite successful. Conclusion-
The study used the Morningstar rating system to evaluate 57 equity umbrella
funds operating in Turkey between the periods of January 2012 and December
2016. The results obtained in the study regarding performance rankings and
performance are not meant as a prediction of the future performance of the
concerned funds, they are only intended to assess the value of the equity
umbrella funds at a specific period in the past using an internationally
accepted rating system. The data
obtained indicated that the equity umbrella funds have an overall negative
Morningstar performance.
umbrella funds are considered to be underperforming since they performed poorly
compared to the Treasury bills used in the study. Under the assumption that
past performance results will continue in the future, it is thought that the
results are meaningful and should be followed.
