Performance Analysis of Mutual Funds This paper analyzes the performance of investment funds in Brazil, that are classified in the category of Pensions Provision Funds – Fixed Income Strategy (PPF-FIS), during the period of January 2005 to December 2011. There is scarce literature on this sub-field in Brazil, and the importance of this research is related to growing importance of PPF-FIS over the last years, and also to be a pioneer study in the analysis of performance and management style of them. The adopted methodology identified significant differences between the performance of traditional Fixed Income Funds and those PPF-FIS by means of performance indicators, and management style. Performance evaluation was done through the application of standard classical models like the Sharpe Ratio Index (1966), Modigliani Index (1997), and Return Based Style. The results showed that average returns of the PPF-FIS were below the average returns of traditional Fixed Income Funds. The style analysis of PPF-FIS s portfolios showed them not concentrated on assets linked to inflation, but mostly to financial assets linked to the Selic Rate. The performance throughout the period was below the risk-free rate (measured as 96% of the Selic Rate), and in summary, the results show that PPF-FIS performed below the traditional Fixed Income Funds in terms of return. Other important achievement is related to administration fees that were reduced during the period by 50% in traditional Fixed Income Funds and by 20% in PPF-FIS. Higher administration fees are closely related to the poor performance of PPF-FIS compared to the traditional Fixed Income funds.
