MUTUALdecision, a comprehensive and trusted online source for mutual fund information, today launched the first online academic model for forecasting mutual fund performance.
MUTUALdecision Academic Models were developed by professors at top universities who analyzed historical mutual fund data to determine key indicators that forecast future fund performance. The MUTUALdecision Academic Models use these predictors to identify mutual funds that will have the highest probability of positive performance on both an absolute and relative basis.
The first model being launched today – the
Return Gap Model– analyzes the difference between a fund’s actual return and the return it would have earned by following a buy and hold strategy. Analyzing 20 years of mutual fund data, the Return Gap has been found to be a predictor of future fund performance. The top mutual funds from this model beat the market by an average of 1.2 % annually over the 20 year period. Visitors to the
MUTUALdecision Web site will be able to rank current U.S. equity funds by the Return Gap model.
Subscriptions to the Return Gap Model are FREE for a limited time.
