Abstract

The mutual fund industry in India are classified into various sub categories such as equity fund, debt fund, balanced fund, money market fund, guilt fund, funds of fund etc. For the purpose of our analysis, we select some mutual funds from each of the above sub categories and then proceed to indentify how far the financial performance of these selected funds is affected by the US recession. The tools used for the analysis of financial performance are the conventional measures of mutual funds performance, like Sharpe's index, Teynor's index and so on.
