Includes bibliographical references. This paper updates aspects of the original study done by Collinet in his 2001 UCT Masters Thesis “Characterising Persistence of Performance amongst South African General Equity Unit Trusts”, in which he tested performance persistence over the period 1980 to 1999. This updated study focuses on testing whether the performance of a unit trust fund in one period can be used to predict the performance of that unit trust fund in a subsequent period. The overall results of the updated study were comparable to the Collinet (2001) study, although in the Collinet study evidence of short-term performance persistence was found when holding periods of 6 months were tested. The results for the 1, 2 and 3 year holding periods tested were inconclusive and no evidence was found that performance persists over any of those holding periods... 2015-01-11T05:03:58Z 2015-01-11T05:03:58Z 2012 Master Thesis Masters MCom http://hdl.handle.net/11427/12074 eng application/pdf Department of Finance and Tax Faculty of Commerce University of Cape Town |
