Abstract

Unlike many countries, focused on the development of domestic stock market, collective investments in Russia do not play an active role in the mobilization of domestic savings, private investors. This is due not only to low-income and higher risk investments in securities of Russian issuers, but also the problems of lack of effectiveness of the funds themselves. Reducing costs, economies of scale, professional portfolio managers, diversification of investments on the global market, specialization management companies can have a positive impact on the profitability of funds. Key words: mutual funds, excess return, mutual funds, the balance of sales, the Russian stock market, management companies, asset management.
