Abstract

Forecasting the returns from investments in mutual funds is a very difficult problem. This study examines a new forecasting approach and system for the performance of mutual funds in Greece. This is accomplished via an application of a variation of the Theta model on a time series composed of the daily values of mutual funds. The proposed models are simple and implemented into an easy-to-use expert forecasting system.
