abstract: We show that multifactor performance estimates for mutual funds suffer from
systematic biases, and argue that these biases are a result of miscalculating the
factor premiums. Because the factor proxies are based on hypothetical stock
portfolios and do not incorporate transaction costs, trade impact, and trading
restrictions, the factor premiums are either over- or underestimated. We argue
that factor proxies based on mutual fund returns rather than stock returns provide
better benchmarks to evaluate professional money managers.
