Purpose: Performance evaluation of investment funds represents a fundamental challenge in financial markets. This study aims to comprehensively assess Damavand Capital's funds, including two equity funds ("Hefz Arzesh" and "Oj") compared to market peers and one sector fund ("Ofogh Damavand") evaluated against sectoral competitors, while simultaneously comparing the efficacy of Value at Risk (VaR) versus standard deviation in risk assessment within emerging markets context.
Methods: This applied research employs descriptive-analytical methodology utilizing Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) and Weighted Russell Directional Distance Model (WRDDM). Secondary data covering returns, costs, and risk indicators for 72 equity funds and 5 sectoral funds were collected from official reports and reliable financial sources during October 2022 to September 2025. Various risk preference scenarios were simulated using both standard deviation and Value at Risk metrics.
Findings: The results demonstrated that "Hefz Arzesh" Damavand with mean rank of 2.6 and "Oj" Damavand with mean rank of 12.4 ranked among superior performers in equity funds category. "Ofogh Damavand" sectoral fund achieved exceptional positioning with mean rank of 1.4 among sectoral peers. Furthermore, Value at Risk (VaR) exhibited significantly higher discriminative power compared to standard deviation in identifying efficient funds across market conditions.
Conclusion: Implementing multi-criteria models such as DEA and WRDDM enhances accuracy and transparency in investment fund performance evaluation, providing scientific foundation for investor decision-making and improvement of managerial strategies in fund operations. These findings offer valuable insights for regulatory bodies and market participants in emerging financial markets.
