Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

The dynamics of the financial market landscape are continually evolving, presenting varying opportunities and challenges for mutual funds. Recently, as investor preferences have shifted and regulatory environments have changed, assessing mutual fund performance has became increasingly vital. This Special Issue aims to consolidate both theoretical and empirical research focused on various aspects of mutual fund performance. Areas of interest include, but are not limited to, the following: fund strategies, fee structures, benchmarking techniques, fund flows, risk-adjusted performance, liquidity management, ESG and socially responsible investing, active vs. passive management, regulatory changes, and the impact of DeFi and Fintech. We highly welcome submissions that bridge the gap between mutual fund performance and broader financial market developments, macroeconomic factors, or advances in financial technology.
