Cet article analyse la performance de 8 fonds communs de placement dans la zone UEMOA. Les données mensuelles couvrent la période allant du 31 Juillet 2010 au 31 mai 2014. Les résultats obtenus, montrent que dans l’ensemble, les gérants de fonds ne présentent pas une capacité de sélection des titres sous-évalués. Par ailleurs, la majorité des gérants de fonds de l’UEMOA arrivent à anticiper les mouvements de marché.
