This study examines management characteristics, including education and experience, as determinants of mutual fund performance. Managers with graduate degrees did not perform differently from managers without graduate degrees. However, graduates of top 20 MBA programs outperformed MBAs from business schools not on the top 50 Wall Street Journal list. Manager’s tenure was positively related to performance.
