Abstract
This case is about whether performance of mutual funds schemes is to be evaluated using only returns or should risk be incorporated. The case talks about evaluating performance of three mutual funds on the basis of three risk adjusted measures viz, Sharpe, Treynor and Jensen's alpha. The risk in an investment is divided into two parts, systematic and unsystematic. The different measures use different types of risk and could give conflicting answers. So, it is important to know which measure should be used and when.
