The analysis is based on the robuststatistics proposed by Ledoit and Wolf (2008), for the pairwise comparison offunds and two generalizations for sets of multiple investment funds. The multipleinvestment fund tests use the Wald and Distance Metric statistics, based onestimation by Generalized Method of Moments using HAC matrices. In orderto correct size limitations in the GMMestimation in the case of a large number ofmoment conditions, the test distributions are obtained through block-bootstrapprocedures. We applied the proposed procedures to daily return data for thelargest 97 actively managed equity funds in the Brazilian market, covering theperiod from July 2006 to July 2008. The results indicate that there are nosignificant differences in the performances of the 97 funds in the sample, bothin pairwise and joint comparisons, thus providing what is believed to be the firstBrazilian market evidence for the so-called herding hypothesis. rformance indicators.
