摘要：This study analyzes the relationship between portfolio distribution, management, and composition indicators and the performance of fixed-income funds in Brazil. It provides support to investors when making decisions regarding their investments. A sample composed of 1039 Brazilian fixed-income funds from January 2011 to December 2019 was analyzed using a panel data analysis methodology and considering robust standard errors. The performance fee charged by funds was found to be the variable that most helped increase the performance of Brazilian fixed-income funds. In addition, portfolios characterized by a higher proportion of fixed-income assets, less experienced management, managers concurrently responsible for a large number of funds, and greater net assets contributed substantially to improved fund performance, by generating the best risk-adjusted returns.
