Abstract: Abstract Glosten and Jagannathan (J Empir Financ 1:133–160, 1994) and Chen and Knez (Rev Financ Stud 9:511–555, 1996) pioneered the stochastic discount factor approach to fund performance. A major attraction of this approach is that it has been widely used to evaluate the performance of a wide range of managed funds such as mutual funds, hedge funds, and venture capital funds among others. In this chapter, I present an overview of the use of the stochastic discount approach to evaluate the performance of managed funds, and the estimation issues involved in this approach.
