Abstract

In this research، we studied the effect of capital flows of Mutual Funds on Capital Market technical efficiency by using DEA (Data Envelopment Analysis) for 22 Mutual Funds listed in Tehran Stock Exchange during the years 2010-2014. We considered mutual funds’ trade volume and total assets as input variables, as well, market value and stock index as output variables. The results of the multivariate regression test proofed and specified existence of a positive and significant relationship between capital flows measures such as Issued Flow, Redemption Flow and Net Flow of Mutual Funds with Capital Market Technical efficiency.
