Sharpe ratio indicates reward to variability ratio. It is an excess returns over risk free return per
unit of risk i.e., per unit of standard deviation. Positive values of Sharpe ratio designate better
performance. It is obvious from Table 06 SIXTH ICB MUTUAL FUND having higher Sharpe
ratio(0.7402) followed by AIMS FIRST MUTUAL FUND(0.6610), Grameen phone 1st mutual
fund (0.5937) and GRAMEEN ONE:SCHEME TWO (0.5359). There is number of mutual fund
schemes which have negative Sharpe ratio indicating bad performance and lesser return from the
investment. Positive value indicating all schemes are favorable option for investment for current

free rate per unit of systematic risk means beta. In above Table 06 second column shows
Treynor index of different mutual fund schemes. Higher Treynor index shown by 1st ICB
MUTUAL FUND (111.58) followed by ICB AMCL 1st MUTUAL FUND (52.85) even though
it is exception to Sharpe ratio because higher Sharpe ratio indicating scheme should show higher
Treynor ratio. According to Sharpe ratio better performance represent by having higher positive
value of Treynor index. Jensen’s alpha measures differential return of securities. It is the
regression of excess return of the scheme (the dependent variable) with excess return of the
market (the independent variable). Higher Jensen’s alpha indicates better performance. Higher

mutual fund schemes.
