The document discusses analyzing the persistence of mutual fund performance in India. It provides motivation for studying whether past performance can predict future returns. The objective is to analyze equity fund performance using risk-adjusted measures and regressing past performance on future returns over 1, 2, and 3 year periods. The methodology section outlines the various formulas and techniques used, including Sharpe ratio, Treynor ratio, Jensen's alpha, and others. Literature review finds mixed evidence from international and Indian studies on whether past performance persists. Sample fund data is analyzed over rolling periods and performance measures are regressed on future returns to examine predictability.
