Abstract
A mutual fund is a collective investment vehicle designed to gather funds from individuals and invest them according to a specific objective, with profits shared among investors based on their contributions. This study aimed to evaluate the performance of selected mutual funds and assess their future potential. The research utilized secondary data from various sources. The results show that long-term and medium-term investments provide strong returns, whereas short-term investments deliver high returns but lack consistency throughout the study period. Furthermore, the study highlights a hierarchy in investor preferences, with private sector funds being the most preferred, followed by foreign asset management companies and public sector funds.
