Abstract: Abstract The mutual funds industry in an economy plays an important role in channeling savings into investments. Given the limited amount of savings, economic efficiency requires that such savings be allocated to firms with the highest return on investments, adjusted for risk. Performance evaluation of mutual funds, therefore, becomes important. In this chapter, we survey the extant literature on this subject outlining the important works that have been carried out till date.
