Performance evaluation of Mutual funds by using DEA Technique

Mutual funds remain a preferred investment avenue for both retail and institutional participants, offering an effective balance between risk and potential return. Evaluating their performance is vital, as it equips investors with the insight required for sound decision-making. This research applies Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) as an innovative non-parametric technique to measure the efficiency of selected mutual funds. By adopting this framework, the study provides a comprehensive view of how effectively these funds manage the trade-off between risk and reward, thereby offering valuable guidance to prospective investors.
