Mutual Fund Rating: A Symbolic Data Approach

Virginie Terraza and Carole Toque

Chapter 7 in Understanding Investment Funds, 2013, pp 161-175 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract The number of mutual funds has grown increasingly in recent years. This fact implies that choosing particular mutual funds requires considerable investor effort in terms of collecting and analyzing information about the funds operating within the same investment universe. This need for information has led to an increased demand for services that rate mutual funds. As a consequence, fund rating systems have been developed to give a basis for comparing fund performances.
