Kan aktivt förvaltade aktiefonder ge högre riskjusterad avkastning än Index? : En studie på svenska marknaden.

Sammanfattning: This analysis aims to figure out if active fund management can provide a greater risk-adjusted return compared to an index. The analysis is divided into two periods, 2012-2020 and year 2020. Jensen’s alpha is the performance measure that will be used during the analysis. A t-test will be performed to figure out if active fund management is significantly different from the index. Sharpe ratio and Treynor ratio is also included as a descriptive statistic. The result shows that during the period of 2012-2020, there was only one actively managed fund with a positive alpha that was significantly different from the benchmark index SIXPRX. The Treynor ratio showed that more than half of the actively managed funds outperform index, and less than half of the funds Sharpe ratio outperformed the index. The results for year 2020 show that there are two actively managed funds that have outperformed the index alpha and are significantly different. The amount of funds that outperformed the index Treynor ratio and Sharpe ratio also increased for that period. The conclusion is that there is very little evidence proving that active managed funds provide a greater risk-adjusted return compared to index in either time periods.
