The effectiveness of investment results is one of the basic and most frequently analyzed issues related to investment funds. Research on factors affecting the effectiveness of funds in both foreign and Polish literature is rare. In the case of research on commodity funds, this is difficult due to the relatively young, still developing market. This study attempts to determine whether the duration of operation of commodity funds has an impact on the investment results obtained by them. To this end, the effectiveness of nine commodity funds operating on the Polish financial market in the period 2007-2018 was analyzed. As a measure of fund effectiveness, the rates of return and risk-adjusted measures were used: the Sharpe and Treynor ratios. The obtained results indicate that there is no clear relationship between the time of operation of commodity funds and the rates of return they receive.

Efektywność wyników inwestycyjnych stanowi jedno z podstawowych i najczęściej analizowanych zagadnień związanych z funduszami inwestycyjnymi. W literaturze zarówno zagranicznej, jak i polskiej badania dotyczące czynników oddziałujących na efektywność funduszy są rzadkie. Badania dotyczące funduszy surowcowych są utrudnione ze względu na młody, wciąż rozwijający się rynek. W niniejszym opracowaniu podjęto próbę określenia, czy czas funkcjonowania funduszy surowcowych ma wpływ na uzyskiwane przez nie wyniki inwestycyjne. W tym celu przeanalizowano efektywność dziewięciu funduszy surowcowych funkcjonujących na polskim rynku finansowym w latach 2007-2018. Jako miary efektywności funduszy wykorzystano stopy zwrotu oraz miary skorygowane o ryzyko: wskaźnik Sharpe’a oraz Treynora. Uzyskane wyniki wskazują, iż nie ma jednoznacznego związku między czasem funkcjonowania funduszy surowcowych a uzyskiwanymi przez nie stopami zwrotu.

Theoretical background: The order to assess the suitability and adequacy of financial instruments by producers and distributors of investment products was introduced with the first Markets in Financial Instruments Directive (MiFID). In conditions of high inflation, it is justified to assess the suitability of investment products in terms of protection of the real value of capital. Purpose of the article: The research aims to indicate which groups (or subgroups) of open-ended investment funds (distinguished according to the investment policy) were suitable for an investor whose financial goal was to protect the real value of capital in the period of rising inflation and increased interest rates in Poland. Research methods: Nominal and real HPY from funds managed by Polish investment fund companies (TFI) and foreign funds were examined in two investment horizons: one-year (1 May 2021 – 1 May 2022) and half-year (1 December 2021 – 1 May 2022). Two research hypotheses were formulated: 1) commodity funds were the suitable funds for the investor, whose aim was to protect the real value of capital in the analyzed period; 2) other types of funds (than commodity funds) were not suitable for an investor whose purpose was to protect the real value of capital. Two main criteria were used to assess the suitability of the (sub)group of funds. For an investor aiming for complete protection of the real value of capital, these were: 1) the percentage of funds with non-negative real HPY and 2) the minimum value of real HPY in the (sub)group. For an investor who only needs partial real capital value protection, these were: the percentage of funds with a positive nominal HPY and the minimum value of the nominal HPY in the (sub)group. Main findings: The first research hypothesis has been positively verified. If the investor’s goal was total protection of the real value of capital in each researched horizon, the second research hypothesis can be considered positively verified. However, if the suitability criteria do not have to be met for each of the horizons studied, or if the investor’s satisfactory objective was partial protection of the real value of capital, then the second hypothesis should be rejected.

We highlighted 5 periods of decline and 4 periods of bull market in 2008–2016. The study included 10 commodity funds in Poland. The results show that the commodity fund managers were not able to avoid negative rates of return during periods of downturn and did not provide positive rates of return in bull markets.

Celem artykułu jest zbadanie zagadnienia efektywności funduszy inwestycyjnych w przypadku okresów koniunktury oraz dekoniunktury na rynku na przykładzie funduszy surowcowych. W tym celu wyróżniono 5 okresów bessy oraz 4 okresy hossy w latach 2008–2016. W badaniu uwzględniono 10 funduszy surowcowych w Polsce. Uzyskane wyniki pozwalają stwierdzić, że zarządzający funduszami surowcowymi nie byli w stanie uniknąć ujemnych stóp zwrotu w okresach bessy i nie zapewniali dodatnich stóp zwrotu w okresach hossy.
