The results acquired from the analyses indicated that all the 10 listed mutual funds were statistically significant and further elucidate that 90 percent of the fund managers generated excess returns for their investors, while 10 percent being unable to generate excess returns based on their stock selection skills. The overall level of diversification by the fund managers using the adjusted R grounded that, 59.88% on the average of the 10 listed mutual funds on GSE were highly diversified to some extent.
