Abstract

A avaliação da performance dos gestores de carteiras tem sido uma questão amplamente debatida na literatura financeira. O desenvolvimento da Teoria do Mercado de Capitais proporcionou o surgimento, nos anos 60, de medidas de avaliação ajustadas ao risco: as de Jensen, Treynor e Sharpe. As críticas de que têm sido alvo têm a ver, por um lado, com problemas conceptuais e econométricos que lhes estão associados, e, por outro, com a impossibilidade destas medidas detectarem as componentes timing e selectividade, as quais contribuem para a performance global. Neste contexto, e após a revisão das principais escolas de pensamento na área da avaliação da performance de carteiras de investimento, procede-se a um estudo, na base de uma amostra de fundos de investimento Portugueses no sentido de 1) se estimarem as medidas tradicionais de avaliação da performance e mostrar porque é que elas não são adequadas para se estimar as capacidades de timing e selectividade por parte dos respectivos gestores, e 2) se aplicar, dadas as limitações das abordagens tradicionais, o modelo inicialmente proposto por Pfleiderer e BhaUacharya (1983) e mais tarde desenvolvido e implementado por Lee e Rahman (1990), de forma a obter medidas de timing e selectividade. Os resultados sugerem que os fundos não evidenciavam capacidades quer ao nível de selectividade quer de timing. Finalmente, apontam-se possíveis linhas de investigação futura.
