Mutual funds, as financial instrument, are growing in importance in the Iranian financial market. This paper examines the risk-adjusted performance of 40 Iranian mutual funds in the course of 2010, using the traditional stand-alone performance measures: Jensen’s alpha, Sharp, Sortino and Treynor ratios, along with a nonparametric frontier model. The results indicate that the risk-adjusted performance measures produce extremely different results, regarding size, performance indices and ranking of mutual funds comparing the results of the models in which the risk is absent.
