In this paper I focus on analyzing whether Polish absolute return funds, which I call quasi-hedge funds, add value to a portfolio of an individual investor by reaching higher returns than Polish stock funds. I use a sample of 25 Polish absolute return investment funds to contrast their short and long term performance, measured by Sharpe, Sortino and Jensen ratios, to the short and long term performance of 20 biggest Polish stock funds and build rankings based on that performance. Later I build funds of funds (with a different number of stock funds and/or quasi-hedge funds) and check which of them is the most efficient. I find out that in both short and long term Polish quasi-hedge funds have better returns than stock funds and they add much value to the investors’ portfolios. It can be explained by the fact that they are much smaller and younger than traditional funds, so they have much higher potential to grow and reach abnormal returns.

Opłata w funduszu inwestycyjnym – będąca ceną produktu – powinna być powiązana z cechami produktu, jak na przykład wyniki, na podstawie których inwestorzy podejmują decyzje odnośnie do zakupu. W niniejszej pracy sprawdzono czy istnieje zależność pomiędzy dobrymi wynikami funduszu w przeszłości (1- i 5-letni horyzont czasowy) a opłatą bieżącą. Badanie polskich otwartych funduszy inwestycyjnych w 2017 roku pokazuje, że nie ma wyraźnej liniowej bądź nieliniowej zależności między wynikami a opłatą bieżącą. Obliczenia zostały wykonane przy użyciu narzędzia dopasowywania krzywych w programie R i analizy korelacji. W drugiej części artykułu porównano strategie inwestowania w najdroższe i najtańsze fundusze z podziałem na typ funduszu (akcji, mieszane i obligacji). Wywnioskowano, że wyniki nie są istotnym czynnikiem podnoszącym opłaty. Jeśli opłaty nie zależą od rezultatów funduszu, to albo dystrybucja opłat pomiędzy funduszami jest losowa, albo wyjaśnienia należy szukać wśród czynników niefundamentalnych, jak reklama czy aspekty behawioralne.

A mutual fund fee – being the price of a product – is related to the features of the product, like fund results, which are the base in the inves’s purchase decision making process. In the present study, we examine whether there is a relation between good performance of the fund in the past (1- and 5-year-time horizons) and the current fee. The research for the Polish open-ended mutual funds market in 2017 indicates that there is no clear linear or non-linear relation between past performance and current charges. The computations were conducted using fitting curves packages in the R programming language and a correlation analysis. In the second part of the article, the strategies of investing in the cheapest and the most expensive funds were compared, with a split into fund types (stock, mixed and bond funds). The overall conclusion is that performance is not a driver for imposing higher fees on the investors. If it is not, then either fee distribution among the funds is random or other non-fundamental factors matters. Keywords: mutual fund, fund fees, charges, fund performance.
