This work evaluates the performance of a wide group of Spanish mutual funds, both in global terms and breaking up it in its two components —market timing and stock-picking abilities—. Both analyses are carried out by means of traditional measures as well as measures that consider time-varying risk and return parameters by incorporating macroeconomic variables representative of the Spanish business-cycle.

The incorporation of these variables produces an improvement in the global performance and a worsening in the manager’s stock-picking ability. It is not possible to obtain conclusions in relation to the market timing ability. However, we observe an increase in the explanatory power of the models as a result of such incorporation, so we advocate conditional models. Furthermore, this work corrects the multicolinearity problems among predetermined information variables by means of a factorial analysis.
