Description This paper evaluates the performance of investment funds that are active in the country. Assessments are established using traditional criteria and data envelopment analysis (DEA). DEA considers inputs and outputs by more than traditional methods in order to evaluate the performance of these funds with a better measure.  This study measured the potential of the peak moments (statistics) in a context of DEA, cooperation with investors, fund managers and their investment. As return on fund investments are not normally distributed, the peaks of DEA are a better measure of performance that is introduced. This is because it not only uses the standard deviation, but the characteristic asymmetry of the positive and statistically returnees. A fund with high sensitivity to adverse market conditions will be punished by a model with a lower efficiency rating.
