Abstract: We compare yields of the leading Russian managed funds with the MICEX index using different approaches to estimate the evaluation period of a fund manager. It is shown that in some special models the MICEX index can not be considered as a benchmark to compare different funds, and at the end of the paper such universal index is suggested. We also provide a special VBA program for its implementation.
