Les performances des OPCVM actions françaises

From a theoretical point of view, studies of mutual fund performance can be used as tests of market efficiency. From a practical point of view they can guide investors in choosing among mutual funds. We study a sample of French mutual funds (OPCVM) over the 1994 to 1999 period. Our results show that index future contracts achieve superior performance on the average . They also show that the persistence in performance is at best an intermittent phenomenon but that is not significant for all practical purposes.
