To this end, daily return data of these 12 mutual funds (3 type variable fund; 3 B type variable fund; 3 A type stock fund and 3 A type Exchange traded fund) together with daily market index (imkb100) return and daily return of riskless rate for the period from January 2006 to Feb 2010. The 180-day maturity T-Bill has been selected to represent riskless rate. To determine performances of mutual funds; Sharpe ratio, M2 measure, Treynor index, Jensen index, Sortino ratio, T2 ratio, Valuation ratio has been applied and these indicators produced conflicting results in ranking mutual funds. Then timingand selection capability of the fund manager has been determined by applying simple regression and Quadratic regression. Interestingly all funds found to have positive coefficient, indicating positive election capability of managers; but in terms of timing capability only one fund managers showed success. Finally, to determine extent to which mean returns are differs between mutual funds, market index (imkb100) and riskless rate (180 day TBill) results of the analysis revealed that mean returns of individual security returns differs at P¡Ü0,01 level. That shows instability in returns and poor ex-ante forecast modeling capability. %K Mutual Fund Performance Measures %K Exchange Traded Funds %K Timing Capability %K Selection Capability %K MANOVA Analysis. %U http://www.isarder.org/tr/2010cilt2no2/a11.pdf
